Meet a very busy and happy mom of four! Anne Ramstetter Wenzel, mom and step-mom to a total of four children, as well as a wife and entrepreneur, wouldn't have it any other way.

Econosystems in a Nutshell
Econosystems offers clients market research, information brokerage, and report writing services. The main client focus is small businesses and independent consultants. Over time, Econosystems has grown to offer additional services, such as business plan tutoring and consultation.
Anne brings a wealth of experience to her business and her clients. She is an economist and established business writer with more than fifteen years of experience inher field. Anne has also worked hard to obtain her B.A. in Economics, and willobtain her Master of Arts in Economics during May of this year.
Here's what Anne has to say about pursuing your dreams:
"There is never a wrong time to go out and set new goals for yourself, and you can never be too late in doingsomething that truly makes you happy - go after your dreams and make each of them come true! I am so glad that I decided to do just that. My life is more fulfillingnow than I ever thought it could be!"
The Love of Working From Home
Anne has no problem letting people know that she works from home. As a matter of fact, she wouldn't have it any other way:
"My official works hours are 9:30 to 3:30 Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, and 9:00 to 2:00 on Wednesdays, which is my 9 year old son's short day at school.
"I work from home, in a small office in the garage, but I wouldn't change a thing, except for perhaps having a larger office. I can arrange an effective schedule that will meet the needs of my clients and my family - both are extremely important priorities in my life.
"Working from home affords me the flexibility to meet my younger child's needs, as well as the creativity to call my own shots, and make new decisions based on my own judgment - I wouldn't have it any other way!"
Econosystems Has a Lot To Offer
A quick visit to the Econosystems website will immediately tell the visitor that this lady really does know what she is talking about! Econosystems.com provides clients easy access to details on all of the quality services Anne offers, including Economics and Market Research, Information Brokerage, and Training and Tutoring. The website is easy to navigate, as well as being totally professional and inspirational, and it offers visitors a direct look at some of Anne's work.
Anne is also working toward offering market research for local venture capitalists. Since market analysis for business planning is her specialty, targeting venture capitalists in order to help them identify good market opportunities would be an excellent fit.
During the summer, Anne will be developing market research reports that small business owners will be able to instantly purchase directly from Econosystems.com. By providing these products, Anne feels that small business owners that cannot afford to pay for customized research reports can take advantage of this more affordable alternative, and gain some good market insights for future expansion plans.
More distant plans include offering free online teleconference/workshops to help small business owners do their own market research.
Sticking To It When Times Are Tough
Anne admits that even though she would never change her home-based business for a traditional job, there are times when sales and revenues can be slow, and so one must be diligent in generating new leads.
Already Econosystems has an annual revenue base upwards of $25,000.00 USD, and Anne plans to triple this amount in the near future, by effectively managing her business, implementing new procedures and information systems, and utilizing more outside research and administrative assistance.
If anyone can do it, Anne is confident that she can! Econosystems is already a resounding success, with more great things to come!
From One Woman In Business To Another...Words Of Advice
Anne has a thing or two to contribute to those that are considering starting their own business venture:
- "Balance your advertising efforts between being patient about getting results (people need to see your business name at least 7 times before they'll do business with you) and getting a return on your investment dollar. It's hard to know the demographics of the web site or e-zine, and it could be that your advertising dollars are just going down the drain. If the e-zine owner doesn't know the demographics of its readers, don't advertise there: you need to match your target market with the people who will be viewing the ad for the best results for your money.
- "If you are working at home with a family, create a schedule and stick to it as much as possible. Flexibility is great, but it's so easy to let chores, errands and family appointments eat into your work day. Since I work while my son is at school, I had to stop making any appointments during the school day, other than networking for business. Otherwise, my huge chunk of quality work time (I do a lot of research and writing, so I need that uninterrupted time to be successful) gets whittled away to nothing."
