Are you one of the many dissatisfied and disillusioned folks in society who are left feeling frustrated in life, stressed and burned out due to the commuting pressure and demands of your job? Passion for our work can reduce over time, in particular, when we overwork and fall out of balance with our lives or when we find ourselves having to compromise our values for a company culture obsessed with profit performance to the exclusion of everything else.
We can all fall victim at some point too to a relentless boss with no interest in family demands and pressures outside of work.
If any of this is apparent to you then it's a sure sign that your life has fallen out of balance somewhere and that you have fallen victim to the treadmill existence.
Have you ever stopped to consider the alternatives for just a moment? There really has been a better time in history to start an online business and work from home.
The Internet is now only in its second decade of growth and is seventeen years old.
The network marketing sector is flourishing when many traditional industries are in rapid decline.
Robert Kiyosaki of 'Rich Dad Poor Dad' fame has emphasized that one of the ways to financial freedom, independence and success is to position yourself at the forefront of a significant trend and then ride the wave.
The Internet is one of those trends offering everyone who is looking the real possibility to reach an unlimited audience for relatively low entry costs.
That means that every individual now has a real chance to thrive rather than merely survive as there are no real barriers to entry anymore.
All you need to have is good broadband access, a laptop or computer and a determination to learn new skills.
Increasing economic uncertainty and rising inflation means the prospect of a job will never guarantee the long term security it once did which is one of the many reasons why smart people are turning to home business options and the Internet.
The advantages of working from home online include; • Greater freedom and autonomy over your life.
• Greater flexibility to work where you want, when you want.
Many people are choosing to escape to the country or emigrate to sunnier climates in all corners of the world, as making a living online reduces the need to be location bound due to clients or because of an employee status.
• The option of fulfilling a dream and getting paid to do work you love to do.
There is nothing better than being able to realise a lifelong passion or combining that with a lifestyle goal of the world.
• The chance to connect with and engage with like minded people who share your interests.
• The prospect of continued growth and personal development as you master new skills and throw yourself into the task of learning again.
• Finally, there is no better prospect than financial freedom and independence as you develop and set up multiple sources of income online.
There is a process to making money online and setting up a business and personal brand.
Like any traditional business it is not a quick fix to riches.
Mastering new skills and ways of working takes time, patience, effort and persistence.
Many people give up due toinformation overload and a feeling of overwhelm so time spent researching and evaluating the right business for you is essential, along with identifying what support and training might be available.
Self employment and starting your own business online won't be for everyone but for the minority with an appetite for developing themselves and finding options to cultivate their passions whilst living a more meaningful and inspired life, it offers the perfect antidote to an employee existence.
