Can You Be A Single Parent And Still Live Your Dreams?

The life of a single or sole parent brings forth so many variables and so many challenges, there are times when there seems to be no light at the end of the tunnel or even at the beginning.

May 29, 2010 - PRLog -- Not only is there the personal commitment, demands and dedication on all levels- emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually in raising a well balanced child, but there is also the real scenario of now having to look at ways to financially support the family.  It is now a case of being the sole provider of everything that matters to you.
It’s not just money to put bread on the table but also to enable the kids and yourself the opportunity to enjoy the fruits of life.

How do you make yourself available for your children, and at the same time find a means to create an income?  How can you be in two places at once and can you do it without wearing yourself so thin, that your own health and well-being starts to suffer?
Real life questions that sound pretty obvious to ask and the answer may seem so easy to those who have never walked in these enormous shoes, however, when you no longer have a relatively adequate income coming in, but still have the pressures of being everything to your children, the enormous stress that suddenly lands on one’s shoulders can be overwhelming.
For some single parents out there, it may simply be the case of wanting enough money to be able to give to their children or stay at home.  For some, it may be a case of wanting enough money to stay at home whilst also wanting to feel worthwhile again and contributing to society whilst utilizing talents and skills they acquired prior to becoming a parent.
Let’s not forget that parents are individuals with their own desires, dreams and passions, becoming a parent is just another aspect of your life-it is not “who” you are; it doesn’t define you.  It is another period of learning and growth that you simply wouldn’t gain from any other source.  Being a parent is a big responsibility but it doesn’t mean you have to forfeit your dreams and goals.
So, how do you get to live your dreams and be a great parent at the same time?

One of the most fulfilling and beneficial means to achieve this is to find a vehicle that will allow you to work for yourself, so that you have the flexibility, income opportunity, time leverage and financial leverage required to fulfill your responsibility as a parent.  It also means that when the "economy" has crashed, you don't and neither does your family.  On the contrary, you set a great example to your children.

There are many companies around that can give you these options and one company that is set to change global prosperity forever is Give Opp.  Give Opp is a company that supports people who want to work for themselves while at the same time, want to give to others’ on a global scale.  This innovative, progressive company allows people the time flexibility, the time freedom, the financial rewards and the mission that will not only enable people and places all over the globe to benefit from their sustainable efforts, it also allows single parents to create the income and therefore the lifestyle they dream of creating for themselves and their families, while achieving their own dreams and goals.

When given the opportunity to work for yourself,  you get to call your own shots, manage your own time and produce your own financial and personal results.  
Give Opp is the perfect solution for those single parents who have found it difficult to immerse themselves back into the confinements of a J.O.B- working for someone else, for someone else’s dreams.
It is the way to thrive in this economy and be the best parent you can be for your children and be there for them when you want to be and when they need you.

So, the answer is "yes", you can be a single parent and still live your dreams-you just need to find the perfect vehicle.
