Why is there currently such a desired exodus from the work-place?
Work life balance is high on the agenda for most home workers, job satisfaction is another highly targeted area.
So why did I choose to work from home?
Many years ago when my 3 children were school age and I had just completed my teacher's training, the only teaching jobs I could find were in inner city schools. This wasn't I wanted for myself or the children, so I started to look for other work as a stop-gap.
I was offered a sales position as a self-employed agent by a well-known national window company. I loved my freedom, the excitement of sales and the opportunity to work in my own way. No pushy into the night presentations, that wasn't my style. I care about people and treating them how I would like to be treated, besides I had a family to look after. My calls were short and to the point, I did a good job, gave customers what they wanted and made a great living for 15 years.
I later had other sales position which I loved but being self-employed for this length of time and the autonomy it gave me, had whetted my appetite for freedom. So I vowed at the earliest opportunity I would again work at home.
I learnt some computer skills whist I was in employment, studied various online businesses and the rest is history.
So if you have a hankering for freedom and autonomy, start your own part-time online business. It is fun, exciting, rewarding and in time as profitable as the time effort and commitment you put in. It doesn't happen over-night so keep your current job for now and learn the new skills required to be successful; in the knowledge a day will come when you can say goodbye to your boss when you are ready. You will be in charge of your life!
