Top Ten Ways to Work From Home

Top Ten Ways to Work From Home

1. Do something you love to do
Do you love to teach?  Become a private tutor.
Do you love to write?  Then start a blog.  You can actually blog and get paid for it with Empower Network.

2. Do something that will help others
Start a service company that will be beneficial to others such as, shopping for others, planning events, house sitting while people are on vacation, caring for the elderly...

3. Turn your hobby into your job
You like to play golf? You like to fish? Become a golf pro/instructor or a fishing guide. Whatever your hobby is others will pay to learn how you do it, or buy your crafts and wares that you market.
I have a friend that is a gifted artist and musician. He and his wife design logos and make t-shirts in their art barn.  They make money in their own back yard!

4. "Hire" your family members
Don't make slaves of your family members, but if the children can box up your widgets for you go ahead and let them.  If your daughter can type up an invoice put her to work.  If your husband can take your parcels down to FedEx let him do it.

5.  Duplicate what you do
There was a great movie called Multiplicity (1996) - IMDb directed by Harold Ramis and starring Michael Keaton, Andie MacDowell. It's about a man who never has enough time for the things he wants to do but is offered the chance to have himself duplicated or cloned.

Henry Ford made automation a reality.  Because of his ingenuity we became an "auto -nation."  He learned to reproduce cars quickly and efficiently by using the assembly line. You can do the same thing.

Create systems that will save you time in the long run.  Video tape yourself giving a lecture.  Promote that as a Study Course and get paid for it.  That way you are reproducing yourself without killing yourself or your family.

6. Be consistent everyday
Follow a schedule. Even if you work in your pajamas and drink coffee you need to sit at the desk or laptop and get productive daily.

7. Show up for WORK
Everyone dreams of working from home on their own schedule and no "boss" looking over their shoulder.  You may want to wear shorts and a t-shirt or have time to sunbathe by the pool, or have an extended lunch break without getting penalized or yelled at.

When you choose to work from home just remember that it is Work.  A four letter word.  The old adage says

Plan your work and work your plan!

8. Learn to eat beans before you eat lobster!
When working from home you may have to start out with a macaroni & cheese mindset before you realize a "Lifestyle of the Rich and Famous."

I'm not saying you have to give up anything, but, when getting your business off the ground you may have to cut back on some things so that you can enjoy other things later.

Dave Ramsey says, “If you will live like no one else, later you can live like no one else.”

9. Take time for yourself
Yes, work is work.  There is no two ways around it.  But if you are working for yourself be sure to plan some down time.  Some "me" time.  Some get away time.

It's OK to have a day off.  It's alright to go on vacation.  Put these into your schedule.  Treat yourself even if it means just going to a park and reading a book.
