Kelly McCausey is a full-time Work at Home Mom. That is the fulfillment of a dream she didn’t even know she had until a few years ago when she realized that her ‘little internet’ business had limitless potential.

“I started working at home in early 2002 to earn an extra $200 a month so that I could keep my darn electric turned on for once! After a couple of years I was earning far more than that and I was actually making some progress on old bills. For the first time I started to imagine what life would be like where I could pay the bills and enjoy some extras. Maybe even more!”

After digging out of a mountain of personal debt and replacing her full time income, Kelly gave final notice and walked away from the job in March of 2006. As a podcaster and business coach, she teaches other moms who want to accomplish the same.
