The Work at Home Lifestyle Written by Chas Brothers When we’re young, we have this perception that we’re totally invincible and for a while, we are. Slowly but surely however, age catches up with us and all liberties we took with our bodies begin to catch up with us. Today’s job market particularly in my part of country, is a young person’ game. I remember working in factory and you could look in eyes of people that had been there for a while and they were empty and lacking hope. Some had already lost jobs and benefits after 20 plus years of loyalty only to be on fringe of losing it all again after another 20 years in a different place. When you see this day in and day out it really makes you think – will this be me in 20 years? Will I physically be up to challenge that my job requires? I wanted more. More for myself, my family, and our future. Corporate America wasn’t way to go as it couldn’t give me all I was longing for. I yearned for independence that only working from home could provide. The possibilities were endless! We all see banners, people lounging around on beach, or sunning beside pool. Once you get your head out of clouds and realize that now, you’re actually a small business owner; it really brings you back down to earth quite quickly! To be a success in work from home industry you must realize that although different in many ways, this is still a job or chosen profession if you will. You are its President, CEO, Secretary, and on some days, Janitor. In this business you’ll find biggest stumbling block is YOU! Fear of unknown, fear of failure, pretty powerful in their own rite but let me impart this pearl of wisdom - success and failure are on exact same road, it’s just that success is further down road.
| | What is Experience Anyway?Written by Nan S. Russell
I learned in first grade that one plus one equals two. But, that's not right equation when counting work experience. We often think we're building experience to help us get ahead. In reality, we're passing time. Ten years working like a cloned Bill Murray in Groundhog Day is not ten years worth of experience. Doing same thing again and again yields an experience formula more like: ten times one equals one.I used to equate years of work with years of experience. No more. I learned by making plenty of hiring and promotion mistakes in twenty years of management two are not equal. Neither are years of work and performance. Doing something for five, ten or twenty years doesn't make you automatically five, ten or twenty years better than when you started. I've been cooking for thirty years but I remain a mediocre cook. Two or three years involved with a business start-up or a new project might provide more growth and knowledge than ten years in a stable venue. And it might not. Gaining experience is more about you and your approach than anything else. Recurring work events can be predictable, boring, and unchallenging ways of passing years at work if what you're doing is updating last year's memo, tweaking last year's budget, or fine-tuning last years goals without applying innovation, analysis or critical thinking. Retiring on job is as prolific as spam and will get you as blocked as those unwanted emails.
