Forget the J.O.B. - Work From Home!

Hello, Warriors: (Also posted at GT Bulmer Web Bizz Blog)

I was a J.O.B. slave for years until one day I woke up and said, “Why am I working for other people when I have so many of my own aspirations and unfulfilled dreams?” I broke free and now I work from home.

Everybody has a story and here is mine in a nutshell. I was inspired to post this in my web biz blog after writing something similar in the Real Work at Home Jobs Forum where I am an active member.

A few years ago I came to my senses, made some changes and managed to break free from the ridiculous J.O.B. cycle where all you are doing is helping someone else fulfil their dreams and prepare for their comfortable retirement. I have to wonder what job slaves think when they get to the end of their “useful” years and realize they’ve done little to pursue their own dreams?

I didn’t want to find myself in that second-guessing, self-doubting situation, so I chose to quit my J.O.B. and work from home, doing something I want to do and enjoy doing. I am now a home based freelance writer and aspiring Internet Marketer.

Don’t get me wrong. I don’t completely regret the years I spent working for other people. It was all great experience.

Some of my “day jobs” were like getting paid to go to school. You know, on-the-job training with pay. The skills and professional business and service attitudes I developed helped me become a better person; more confident, more knowledgeable, more aware of what I wanted from life on a personal basis.

However, I wanted more from life than just working for someone else. I want to someday look back with satisfaction at things I achieved for my own benefit.

Like writing and Internet Marketing. These were natural choices for me.

I’ve always had an interest in writing, but never really worked at developing the skill until I landed a newspaper job several years ago. The few years I worked there proved to be the best educational investment in my future that I ever made.

Likewise, I’ve always been interested in home based marketing, promotion and selling. Although I did dabble in home based business here and there over the years while working at day jobs, I never truly focused on developing the interest.

Until one day when something finally clicked and I quit the job I had at the time and decided to focus on freelance writing and Internet Marketing while working from home.

I have certain income goals that I have not yet reached, but they will come in time. Since I work from home, I can go at my own pace and truly, truly take time to enjoy the journey. That is one of the greatest benefits of working for yourself.

I am much happier now and SO much more relaxed. In fact, when I had a J.O.B., it was a chore dragging myself out of bed every morning. Now, I jump out of bed early every morning to work on writing and marketing, and after spending time each evening with my spouse, I will often stay up until midnight or 1 am continuing to work on my home biz. It’s great!

I know it’s not easy for everybody to up and quit their job and strike out on their own. Some may have to work at it step by step on a part time basis. Nothing wrong with that at all, as long as you remain focused and determined.

One of my favourite sayings is, “It takes courage to push yourself to places that you have never been before... to test your limits... to break through barriers.”

Do you have unfulfilled dreams and aspirations like I did? For those who have the ability and the courage to break through their barriers, I say, “Forget the J.O.B. - Work from home!
