Working for yourself from home

Hi there,

Imagine this: working for yourself from home -
A day when you decide what time to get up
A day when you can choose whether to linger over your morning coffee for as long as you like
A day that is planned to suit you, no more rush hour commutes to a job you hate ..

All this is possible!There are many companies online offering opportunities that will enable you to become your own boss, and say goodbye to the stress of working for somebody else  If you're prepared to put some time in after work in the evenings, or at the weekends, it is possible to build a very nice second income stream, eventually allowing you to become secure enough to say goodbye to that job forever!
But how to know which one to invest in?


If you've become unemployed recently, made redundant, or been forced to take early retirement, there are still options open to you. All you need is an internet connection, a pc or laptop, and a good grasp of basic English grammar.
It was a dream of mine for at least ten years to become my own boss and ideally work from home, cutting out expensive overheads and that stress in the mornings of what to wear, putting on make up, doing my hair, grabbing my hand bag , and that last minute desperate search for the car keys.
 After investing money in products which promised the earth but were practically fruitless in terms of income, I found one which actually delivered. Working for myself from home has become a reality and has enabled me to walk from a job that was killing me slowly every day , a dead-end position in a company that was beginning to flounder, a common scene for many in our current economic climate.

Contrary to what some online gurus will tell you, there is no magic wand, you need to be prepared to put in the time and effort required in the beginning. I have been working writing as a freelance from home now for over four years, and in the beginning it was quite scary as I had very little experience with working online.
I didn't want to leave a paying job (are you crazy??!!) and so decided to devote an hour or two each evening to build up another income for myself. I did this as a freelance writer. Writing blog posts, articles, copywriting, and lots more smaller stuff that really didn't require huge talent in the area of writing.
I spent weekends polishing my skills, taking online courses in grammar, just to expand my knowledgebase.

Three weeks ago, I am delighted to say, I handed in my resignation!
In my next post I'm gonna describe my average day, the day I dreamed about for many years, the day where I'm my own boss :-)

So here's to making your dream a reality,
