SCWAHMS business networking
SUNSHINE COAST WORK AT HOME MUM’S WORDS ERIN LAW - OWNER/CREATOR OF SCWAHMS
how it all began…
SCWAHMS is an idea that came to me after meeting and selling/buying from some lovely Local WAHM’s - after one such interaction I thought; “Wouldn’t it be great to get to know other WAHM’s in my area, and do my business with them? Save postage, network, and keep my money in our community?” And then it dawned on me - what we needed was a place to get together to swap advice and information as well as products and services! It was then SCWAHMS was born! With directory listings only available to local Sunshine Coast Work At Home Mum’s (and Dads!), SCWAHMS offers a unique environment where you can save time, money, and hopefully stress - by keeping things local as much as possible. It’s also a great onestop-shop for all things WAHM made, so a fantastic resource for those who reside elsewhere! As a mother of 2 gorgeous girls, I am always looking for unique and locally made items and services - I’m a big believer in spending my money “at home”, and just adore all things handmade/homemade! I have my own little online (Facebook) store called “Piccolo Amico”

secrets to success…
I am in total awe of all of the SCWAHMS I represent - each one of them are amazing!
I quite enjoy writing, and incorporate this into my work with SCWAHMS where possible! I am a big Facebook lover, and have used Yola.com to build my website (all by myself!)
Work never stops! I make a big effort to reply to each and every email, Facebook post, and text/phone call as promptly as possible! This means I often work odd hours, and am found texting or emailing in the most bizarre circumstances, but also means that I don’t often have to play catch-up with my workload!
Use a diary! It’s so important to schedule time! Not only for work, but family and YOU!
SCWAHMS of course! I can also recommend the Professional Parents group - they seem to be on a similar wavelength as SCWAHMS with regards to keeping work fun!
You’ve got to love what you do! If you don’t enjoy your work, it may be worth think about why you do it!
future plans…
SCWAHMS is forever expanding, but at present, we’re working on getting the directory out there, and in use as much as possible!
SCWAHMS is place for Local WAHMS (and Dads!) to come and support each other, share advice, and hopefully between ourselves save some time and money on things we need! For more information... www.scwahms.com www.scwahms.com/blog.php www.facebook.com/scwahms
