Get to Know Michelle
Hello! I'm Michelle Waters, owner of Watersweb Solutions LLC.
I am a Work At Home Mom (WAHM), with two children, a son and a daughter. I'm also Mom to three animals: a chocolate-brown Border Collie mix who we adopted after her mom showed up on our doorstep, in labor, in the snow, a couple of days before Christmas; a Lab/Border Collie mix who literally followed me home one day; and a cat we adopted from our local SPCA. I'm also wife to Steve, who I met a couple of lifetimes ago, before the animals, before the kids, when I thought I was going to help people and make the world a better place as a small-town reporter.
Wow. Just mentioning reporting brings back so many memories -- but looking at these adorable faces makes the changes in my life so worth it. Those two babies are the reason I'm sitting here right now, writing to you, telling you about my life. And I imagine, you probably have an adorable face or two, or more, who are the reason you're sitting at your computer, reading this page, and thinking about your internet business and how you're going to stay at home with those precious little ones.
I had never heard of Work At Home Moms, until a few months after I gave birth to my son. I would look into his face and I couldn't imagine leaving him every day for eight hours or more. I couldn't imagine letting someone else raising him. I'd spent my whole life working towards one goal -- and suddenly I didn't care anymore. All that mattered was this completely dependant bundle I held in my arms, nursed and cared for.
One day, late at night, after designing a graphic or two for an online community I had joined, I realized that maybe I could turn it into a business. My grandparents had run a mom and pop grocery store. I figured, if they could run a business, so could I! So, I started teaching myself HTML. I bought my first domain name in November 2001 and starting doing sites for my friends. During this time, I also toyed with the idea of selling templates, hosting sites and helping other people put their businesses online.
Forward to July 2004. I began working with the Shop Kit Plus. Finally, I had hit on an idea that would enable me to earn a living that allowed me to stay home with my children AND help other people! Since then, I have devoted my time to creating one of the best WAHM ecommerce solutions available. With 24/7 customer support and customizable software, my company provides a foundation on which other business owners can build their own dreams, just like I have done.
