…. MAKE IT on your own time


Making good money is what many Americans dream about.  It supplies us with the means to make our own hours, focus on certain areas and even take care of the children.  Making GREAT money from home and being able to afford the comforts of living is the American Dream.  Well, maybe not always working from home, but the idea that we can be OUR own boss from the comfort of our home is what everyone says, “Wow, wouldn’t that be nice?”  I say, “Wow, if it was only that easy!”

The problem here is that working from home can be tricky and the companies that are out there with working from home job placements can be down right sinister.  ”Stuffing envelopes anyone?”  It’s an evil on it’s own and while some people say that those companies are living the American dream by getting people to buy their schemes, I feel it’s aiding in the ignorance of Americans who are down on their luck and corroding the American dream with the idea of laziness and the idea of making it easy without the hard work that this country was built upon.  The idea of not having an education or training to do a job and make tons of money is yes, too good to be true.  It’s like watching people spend money on lottery tickets to make it big…humorous and sad.

Working from home is a great way to spend most of your day if you can.  What I like most about finding a career is if I can find a career that lets me work from home part time.  A great business survives on the social aspect and that means meeting people face to face and talking to them on the phone.  Stuffing envelopes gives you none of that and neither does selling SMC merchandise through eBay.  These days, if you didn’t go to law school or to be a doctor, to have good job security means you have to diversify and to diversify means that your home may become a base for your actions.  I’ve been laid off 6 times and boy does that suck, so while I may not be an expert on this subject and this blog is just an educated outlook on my life, diversification is what I have had to live on.  It’s more fun than you would think.  It can be tiring to multi-task your off ass for money, but the reward is nice and I get to see my woman more than most people get to.  I am really excited about the thought of being around for my children.  It was important for me when my dad was around and it should be just as important for them.

So is working from home for you?  Yes, it’s for everyone.  The niche here is..well yes…finding a niche.  What do you like to do?  What could you offer people and make a few dollars on?  My favorite revelation is if you like to do more than one thing, because things add up.  I live in Southern Florida and $700 a week helps me relax a bit, but it’s not because of one thing.  Remember the word DIVERSIFICATION, that you can’t do it on just one thing anymore.  I like eggs so let’s think of working on just one thing as eggs.  I will eat eggs up, and so will life.  Granted, you may have one career and like it.  Good luck with that.  I can guess there is something else you would like to carry out in your life.  So find it.  Find many things to do and like and then turn that into money.  Making money doesn’t make you happy …… that’s what the poor man said.  Honestly, it doesn’t make you the happiest man in the world and it does make you happy.  However, it does give a path to become the happiest and with that note, disagreements or not, I am retiring to my nest.
