For many underprivileged children, nighttime often means a hard end to an equally hard day. Many go to bed wearing their street clothes…or wearing nothing at all. That’s where Genevieve Piturro and the Pajama Program steps in.

Genevieve founded the charity in 2001 to help create a warm and nurturing environment for youngsters living under difficult circumstances. The Pajama Program, a 501 (c) (3) not-for-profit organization, targets youngsters ranging in age from newborn to 17 who are without parents and/or permanent homes. It is through her dedication and commitment that thousands of pajamas and books have been distributed throughout the country to needy children.

Genevieve’s finely honed business sense has contributed to the Pajama Program’s success. Her entrepreneurial spirit was fueled by her extensive background in marketing, first in the television syndication arena for many years and then for an event planning company with offices in London and NYC. But it is her work on behalf of society’s most vulnerable citizens that provides her with the greatest personal satisfaction.

A Yonkers, New York native, Genevieve received a Batchelor’s of Art Degree from New York City’s Fordham University. She resides in Irvington, N.Y. with her husband, Demo DiMartile.

You’re constantly interrupted by your spouse, kids or friends who just want to ask you something quickly. (Really, it won’t take a minute!)

Your “office” also happens to be the living room, so you end up trying to focus while the television is going, and people are running all around the house.

You spend almost every waking hour either actively working on your websites or thinking about marketing strategies, product ideas and such when you should be spending quality time with your loved ones.

You waste hours each day surfing the net (and call it research), checking your stats or answering email.

The point is, we all develop these bad habits that don’t make us very productive. I bet that almost everything you’re doing in  your usual 10 hours plus workday right now, you could accomplish in under 3 hours provided you set yourself up to be really productive during that time.

And that’s exactly what you will learn in this new report called “Homepreneur Habits: How To Run A Successful Home Business”.

Find out how to set up your workspace, structure your day and most importantly, structure your business for maximum productivity and results. This report wasn’t created by just anyone, either. It was written by Jimmy D. Brown, one of the most successful Internet Marketers who fell into all the traps you’ve been falling into and then turned it around to a point where he is running and growing a huge home business spending just 3 hours a day working. 

To your success,
Careers From The Kitchen Table

P.S. This isn’t just some dry theoretical report. Jimmy shares exactly what he does and how he has is office set up (with plenty of pictures) so you have plenty of “real life” examples.
