I have wanted to work from home since being downsized the first time following “9/11”. I researched some work at home stuff online at the time yet the timing & such didn't seem right for me to start working virtually. I wondered from job-to-job after that always w/ the thought of working from home lingering in the back of my mind. I decided to give it another go after the most recent job loss in January 2011, however, and am thrilled that I did.
Friends, were and still are to a degree, skeptical about this whole work-from-home thing...out of concern for me & my son. Their two biggest concerns are whether or not I can make enough to support us and that I will become an old crazy hermit woman that never leaves the house. Their concerns for me are appreciated and quite valid in both regards. I have concerns of my own regarding income yet not so much w/ the whole hermit-woman thing. Quite frankly, I don't see what the problem is. LOL! Then again, I tend to be more introverted, like and need a lot of alone time and love being at home.
I'm going to make a point to take a brisk walk everyday after work for my own health and well being, as well as, to help ease their minds. Mornings would probably be better yet I know that I will not get up early enough to take this walk.
As far as income, it's not meeting my expenses at this point even though I'm working full-time. I'm learning and doing as much as I can to expand my skill sets and income streams so I have no doubt that this issue will be resolved in the near future. Learning to create blogs w/ good, useful & original content is one avenue I'm pursuing. I'm also learning how to tweet, twit, follow, be followed, post, like, etc...in order to leverage Social Marketing. It's quite an interesting world. Stay tuned, it's bound to get different!
