Who is Sarah Short?

Hello!  I’m Sarah Short, The WAHM’s Friend. I can help you work from home. 

So, where have I come from to get to this point in my life?  In 1995, I became pregnant with my first daughter Verity.  I suffered from an unusual condition called hyperemisis during my pregnancy, which is, in a nutshell, 24 hour a day, dreadful morning sickness.  I had a really rough first 20 weeks of pregnancy until the hyperemisis wore off.  I couldn’t work for those rotten 20 weeks, but happily returned to work after it wore off.  I worked for myself at the time, as an IT Consultant.  I really, really loved what I was doing and my plan was to have the baby, hand it (I didn’t know she was a she yet!) to the nearest midwife and pick up my briefcase to return to work asap.

Boy, oh boy, how naive was I?  I just didn’t understand the strength of feeling I was going to have and even more astonishingly, I didn’t understand how very much I wasn’t going to want to return to work!  And so began my search for something to do to earn from home.  I have never worked a “proper job” since.  I have worked from home doing all sorts of things, from selling cosmetics to teaching drama.  I have researched many, many ways of generating an income from home and I have seen good ways, great ways and truly awful scams.  (The majority of these are online of course!)

I have become something of a guru for friends and friends of friends when they are looking for something to do from home.  I have become adept at helping women to decide what they want to do, because I have found that often, mothers who want to work from home

  1. Don’t know what they want to do
  2. Don’t know what they can do
  3. Don’t know what options are out there

and I do!

So, I decided that I would make a site for all those kindred spirits out there.  There are hundreds and thousands of us who want to work from home, eith online or offline and this site is being designed and developed for Mothers who want to work from home.

Women are the most magnificent creatures – we can do just about anything.  The problem is, when we are mothers as well, we are usually trying to do it all at the same time and getting nowhere!  The purpose of my site is to give hints and tips, as well as coaching, to women who need to step back, take a breath and reconsider their lives.

Mothers who want to CAN stay home, if they set out to do it properly, armed with as much information as they can possibly get their hands on.  If information is what you are after, you have come to the right place.

Over the coming weeks, there will be relevant information added to this site on a very regular basis:

  • If you need some inspiration about what to do, keep your eyes peeled for help about what is available and how to do it.
  • If you want to work online, but don’t know how to do it, sign up to be kept informed about my course on affiliate marketing
  • If you need help just getting going, stick with me my friend, I can help!

I look forward to our time together.

love
Sarah
