Tell us a little about yourself:
I have an AAB in Applied Computer Sciences. I have been married to my high school sweet heart
since September 1999. We have to beautiful children a girl, Hannah(4 1/2 years old) and a boy, Riley (3 years old). Been a wahm since 2001 when my daughter was born and was laidoff to be a contractor at my job.

What is your business name and web address:
JamSum Limited, http://www.JamSum.com

What inspired you to become a work at home mom:
Well after you weigh all the options and the cost. It is less expensive to stay
home and work. The best thing was that I would be able to see my children grow up.

Tell us a little about your business:
JamSum Limited is a small full service technical and creative business solutions company focused
on the small to mid-size business community. Our mission is to provide high quality technical and creative solutions to meet the business’ needs.

Is there any advice that you would like to share with other women that are
interested in working from home:
Make sure you doing something that you enjoy. If you are not doing something you enjoy it will not last. Make sure you do research on what you want to do.

What has been the most effective advertising method for you:
I do a lot of networking through HBWM.com and Ryze.com. I also advertise in newsletters and newspapers. The best advertising method I have noticed is word of mouth. Nothing says it better than a happy client.

Can you share with us one negative business experience that you learned from:
Make sure if you are in business doing a service to make sure you get everything in writing. I was burnt a couple times in the beginning by not having a contract with a client. Now everything done at JamSum is through contract. I layout what JamSum will provide and what is the responsiblity of the client.
