Most of our clients that take our training to start their own clay hand print business are stay-at-home moms.  Many have asked us "when is the right time for me to start my business"?  Our answer to them is simple.  We  tell them "when you are ready to make the commitment to go to work for both fun and profit." 
 
This is a year round business.  People spend money on their kids and family all year long, year after year.  So, the right time for you to go into business is when you have all your ducks in a row and you want to.  Map out a time to work and the time that you need to commit to your family life. 

The beauty of this business is that you are able to create a work schedule that will benefit you and your family. You are able to keep it flexible.  You can work part-time or full-time depending how much money you want to make.  Work your appointments around your kids schedules.  Perhaps your son or daughter have soccer practice on a certain day each week.   Keep those afternoons free.  Plan your appointments for the morning.  You can always work later in the evening on your clay hand prints as well. 

The right time to go into any business is when you are ready to make the commitment to yourself and want to go to into business.  It is just a matter of being responsible to yourself and your clients.  If you like working with families and creating hand print and footprint keepsakes for them, then this may be the perfect fit for you. This is one fun business that is very rewarding for both you and the families you work with.
