Two hours there, two hours back. What a way to waste of life! And what does your partner think about that? Maybe you have children, what then? |
Hmmm, that's the time to worry - sleepless nights, early mornings and late evenings carrying a crying baby around or looking after the children. Then get in the car and drive for two hours? Then do a days work? And then drive home for two hours? Oh man, you had to be joking! That spells danger not just for you but everyone else who uses the same motorway! What if the company you work for got sold and who knows whats going to happen to your job let alone career. It times like this that you might take the plunge and decided to build a home business. Imagine your life: You are sitting in the garden enjoying the warm summer weather, eating the croissants you've just popped out to buy, sipping hot coffee. You're relaxed, its warm, your partner is with you, life feels wonderful and harmonious. Two doors slam in the house next to you. The front door first, then the car door. Then you hear the splutter of a tired car starting up. Suddenly it all stops. The car door opens again, you hear the sound of muted cursing and the rush of footsteps. The front door opens, a few moments later it slams shut. The car door slams shut. The car hurtles and screeches out of its parking space. The traffic hoots. You look at you watch, it's 9am, your neighbour is late for work! Later you go into work - when the morning rush has slowed down. You walk all the way to work. It takes you about 1 minute. (You work from home). You sit down at your desk and you start work. You do what you want to do and you do what makes you the money to give you the lifestyle you love. At lunchtime you stop working. You walk home (another 1 minute). You eat lunch with your partner or friends and family and then you go out in the afternoon. Perhaps you'll go shopping when the shelves are full and the checkouts are empty. You can park right by the front of the store because everyone else is at work. In the afternoon, you go for a swim, 30 minutes at the gym or hit some golf balls. Finishes just in time to pick up the kids from school and bring them home. A few hours rolling around on the floor with your children before you read them a good night story and put them to bed. You get to be a part of their lives - not just a visitor. Now for another couple hours of work. Finish at 9.30pm and take the rest of the evening off. Have you ever read a job description like this? No, well of course not. No job exists like this. This is the life of a successful home worker. Someone who works for him or her self. Do you know the saying - if you carry on doing what you've been doing, you'll carry on getting what you've been getting? Well, if you carry on applying for different jobs, you'll carry on getting the same problems and frustrations? Is that what you want? Or is there a better way? Yes, there definitely is. But only if you are willing to go for it.
