Tips, Tidbits and Inspiration

Note from Leslie: I chose this article because I do believe that having an "expectation" of success is key to any endeavor including working at home. I talk to many people who want to work at home, wish they could work at home, but don't really expect that they will be able to and so they don't. Henry Ford once said, "If you think you can do a thing or think you can't do a thing, you're right." There is something about expecting to have a certain outcome that effects behavior and makes the mind open and aware of opportunity (or in the case of negative expectation the mind is closed and misses opportunities). Here's an article on the importance of expectation.

Expect With Confidence

By Kurt Mortensen

Often our expectations are based on the assumptions we have about people or groups of people. The same is true of us. Have you ever noticed how your expectations become reality in your personal life? Expectation is literally a self-fulfilling prophecy. We do this consciously and subconsciously. Remember the kid in grade school who was always really rowdy and disruptive? Sometimes if people already assume they are perceived a certain way, then that is indeed exactly how they will act, even if they don't mean to. The rowdy kid in grade school knew everyone perceived him as disruptive, and so he was. The teacher expected bad behavior, and the expectations were fulfilled.






Consider the profound impact this can have in your own life. Are the assumptions and expectations you have about yourself liberating or victimizing? There are countless examples of "self-fulfilling prophecies," or the Law of Expectations at work in everyday life. Ever notice how people who think they're going to be fired suddenly experience a drop in the quality and enthusiasm for their work? Then what happens? They get fired! Their belief causes them to act a certain way, and those expectations then work to bring about the very thing that at first was only a figment of their imagination.

In another study, second graders listened to statements from their teachers before taking a math test. There were three types of statements: expectation, persuasion, or reinforcement. The expectation statements went something like, "You know your math really well!" or "You work really hard at your math." Persuasion statements involved sentences like, "You should be good at math." or "You should be getting better math grades." Finally, for the reinforcement statements, teachers said things like, "I'm really happy about your progress" or "This is excellent work!" Now, what do you think the results were? The scores were the highest in the "expectation" category! Why were the expectation statements the most effective? They created personal assumptions within each student. Those assumptions conditioned the actual external results.

Home Job Stop

I get emails everyday asking about "The List" of companies with work-at-home jobs. And everyday I reply that there really is no such list, at least not in the way the person wants. There is no list of companies that will allow you to simply sign up and work at home. There are lists of companies with telecommuting programs. WAHS has such a list. However, this list is really worthless because these companies may or may not be hiring. Its like using your Yellow Pages to find a job; sure the companies listed their have employees, but that doesn't mean they're hiring.

When searching for a job, the best place to look are on sites that list job offers. In the work-at-home world, this gets kind of tricky because so many scams promote themselves as jobs. Therefore, for the serious work-at-home job hunter, I recommend using a telecommuting job database.

Whenever I recommend this, I always get an email saying, "But you aren't supposed to pay for a job." Its true. You should never pay to get HIRED, but that doesn't mean you can't pay for a service that can help you find legtimiate work or get hired. In the real world, you don't balk at buying a newspaper to get the want-ads or paying a professional resume writer to write a winning resume. In the telecommuting job world, it is acceptable to invest in services IF they are legitimate services.

One of my favorite work-at-home job databases is Home Job Stop. Its not the most extensive or sophistocated site, but for the price and value, its an excellent starter database. It lists hundreds of jobs in several categories including clerical, medical transcription, financial, customer service and more. Occasionally you'll find survey, mystery shopping, and opinions for pay posts, which I don't think make enough money to pay the rent, but they are legitimiate programs. For $25 you can get full UNLIMITED LIFETIME access plus the newsletter. Or just access the database for $18 ... again that's unlimited, forever! Compared to the other databases, this is a real bargain!

Again, I only recommend using job databases to people who are really serious about finding a job and are not still hoping for a "sign-up to type" deal that is always a scam. The jobs at HomeJobStop are legitimate job that do require some level of experience or skills.
