Work At Home

Work at home is what many of us would opt for if we knew we could keep the same salary or perhaps make a bit more than the salary we now make and leave all the stress associated with working at work.  Imagine working at home and having the ability to change your scenery to suit each meal.  If, you're having seafood tonight, why not enjoy it parked beside the beach, looking at the ocean.  I know that may sound expensive, but imagine the possibilities.

No more time-consuming commutes or ridiculous fuel prices to contend with.  Just peace of mind and the comfort of knowing that we decide when we are going to go to eat and when to take our breaks.  The best part is perhaps not having to leave your home, unless you want to, because for some of us, leaving the house to go to work may be the highlight of our lives.  For me, being home is the best part of working at home.  You certainly won't get rich working at home, but there are benefits greater than making an obscene amount of money and that is the satisfaction of making a living from home and if you just happen to get rich, well, I guess that's a beneficial side affect, if what you're doing is really what the public or market wants.

The Plan should be to find a "work at home" opportunity that is credible, duplicateable and offers some reliable income that is predictably based on performance.  After all, a "work at home" opportunity has to provide a realistic and legitimate product or service that people want and this may mean, educating the public about your product or service.  Sometimes folks don't even know they want something, until you educate them about the benefits your product or service can offer them.  

Some products and services that are introduced to the market have built-in demand, that is, people are lusting over them, because they see or recognize the immediate benefit the product or service gives them.  One such  product is  a computer, and one such associated service is a wi-fi or Internet service.  There are probably more than a few people who would argue that they don't need a computer and that they don't need wi-fi or an Internet service provider and folks who think that way are like my mother, who still thinks that she can see the "white" of every person's eyes, that she communicates with.  In contrast, my mother is not in the minority, as I meet many of her friends in the course of my travels in my home. 

We should become aware that as the global economy slows for some countries and overheats for other countries, that more and more people will come to accept "working at home," as a fact of life.  There will be labor surpluses in the countries whose economies are stagnant and labor shortages in those countries where the economies are percolating and through it all, there will be immense opportunities for change and favorable conditions for "thinking outside the box."  The question is, "where will you be in the whole grand scheme of things?"
