31 Days to Work-At-Home Success - Day One: What do you want?
Getting
what you want in life starts with knowing what it is that you want. This seems
obvious, but many people have dreams and wishes that never come to fruition
because they aren’t clear on the specifics. Its like wanting to take a
vacation, but never deciding where to go. You can’t go on vacation without
choosing a destination. Wanting to work at home is no different. Its great to
want to do your job from home or start a home business, but if you aren’t clear
on what you hope to gain as well as the specifics of what you’ll do, working at
home remains a wish.
On
day one of 31 Days to Work-At-Home Success you need to decide what it is you
really want.
1)Why
do you want to work at home? Is it to stay home with children? To care for an
ailing relative? Leave an unfulfilling job? Have more time for family? Write
down what it is you want from working at home?
2)
Do you know what you want to do from home? If not, that’s okay as we’ll develop
ideas during this month. But if you already know what you want to do from home,
write that down too.
3)
What will your day and life be like when you reach your goal? Will you sleep
in? Will you take the kids to the park every day? Will you have time to pursue
personal interestes? Write down what you want not just in working at home, but
in your life as a whole that working at home will help you achieve.
