The Perfect Home Based Business

 

I’m the first to admit – I’ve been blessed.  Most people look at my life and would gladly trade.  Well, at least the career part. 

 

I have been fortunate enough to have worked for several different companies over a period of over 10 years where I have been able to work from home.  These have been great, independent sales oriented positions with huge income potential and all the flexibility you could imagine a corporate job could come with. 

 

I have to warn you though – working from home is not for everyone.  I had to learn to train my neighbors that just because I was at home – didn’t mean that I could baby sit their kids.  HELLO, it is still a job.  And the way I always saw it – was that I had to be extra diligent so as to give absolutely no reason for anyone to ever question what I did all day.

 

So, I rarely ever took lunches – throwing a Lean Pocket in the microwave doesn’t really count.  I rolled out of bed, hugged my puppies, grabbed some coffee and walked 10 feet to my office.  I was there by 6:00 AM most mornings.  I probably spend a good 90% of my evenings with my laptop attached to me working.  I’d get a shower late in the day or early evening when I realized I couldn’t move from sitting at my computer non stop for hours.

 

On the days I traveled I had my wireless modem and Palm so I was always connected.  Maybe most people wouldn’t be so obsessive but – that is how it was for me.  So, here I was with THE WORLDS BEST JOB, making 6 figures, loving hanging with my puppy girls and completely MISERABLE.

 

I wanted out so bad – I had fantasies of working for a fast food restaurant.  Maybe I was never really serious about that but I did think of “simplifying” my life.  Working less hours in a less stressful job.  Of course, I quickly come back to reality about the less money part – I like money.  I like to earn a lot of money.  I am really really good at spending money.

 

So, I started searching for something of my own.  A Home Based Business or a franchise.  Something I could at least say was mine after 80 hours a week.  I actually got really excited about a franchise – the growth was phenomenal, the company was ranked top of all new franchises.  Then I visualized my life if I ran this business.  I realized I would be selling this product one customer at a time – day in/day out just like I am now.  Only now I would be starting from the bottom.  Zero income – zero benefits.  Hmmm, maybe I would keep looking.

 

I knew that I wanted something more and you know when you are ready for the opportunity – it appears.  I found something that not only inspired me but something that made me rethink everything about my life.  I know that sounds crazy – I am as analytical as it gets.  I was majoring in Organic Chemistry in college. 

 

I began to see the opportunity and real potential within me that I never even dared to dream about before.  So, here I am.
