Do you work from home?

Daddislilgrrl · 06-02-2012, 03:34 AM

I work from home as of this year for a great company. As of Sunday, I'm getting benefits (Yipee!) and I'm enjoying my job immensely! It's insane during the holidays, and it's kind of slow during the summertime, so my honey and I are having a staycation right now! First time in years that we are having time to ourselves. For me the paycheck is so worth the job. I am on the telephone with folks all day, so I'm never really alone, and I've virtually stopped eating during the day when I'm not supposed to be eating. This is the first job I've had in over 10 years, and I'm totally loving it. The lack of commute, the ability to go to work in my jammies if I so desire, well those are perks for sure. I guess if there were downsides, I just can't find any yet. I'll keep y'all posted though.

Love to all us workers at home!

I am not self employed but I am an outside sales rep for a HVAC company and I have a van that is set up as a mobile office. I have a desk, file cabinets, printer and computer. I love it. I can stop anywhere and work on my bids,email my office and take care of any business I need to. Having a company vehicle is awesome, no gas to pay for, no upkeep and my car "Dixie" has very little miles on her and I am loving that.

I've just started an online course for business women. It's only been three days (kicked off 6/1) and it is AMAZING.

It was cheap as far as these type of courses go and the benefits/bonuses have been off the hook. Seriously.

I recommend this if you want to find others who will support you in growing a business in a whole manner--not just about bottom line but about soul-growth.

My Kasey works from home after commuting for many hours per day for many years.

Upside:

No commute
home when finished working
can work on side business easier
can work in jammies

downside:

No or little socializing with peers and co-workers who are friends
Always in the house seeing the same ol' same ol'

oh! this is one of my most favorite courses

all of leonie's offerings are amazing!

also the right brain business plan is another great resource... http://www.rightbrainbusinessplan.com/

Yes, sometimes! I am a sign language interpreter and many health care agencies, universities and businesses now hire us remotely, so I work from a laptop with headphones. It is not the most ideal situation (sometimes Internet connections are slow and it's hard to read the signs) but it's nice to work with pajama bottoms on, lol.

I also own my own company where I market this technology to schools who have deaf children in remote areas with out access to qualified interpreting services. My buinsss partner and I are going to start heavily marketing our business in the summer and hopefully get a some contracts next school year. We shall see!

Just heard this is going up to $199 7/3 so if you are interested, now's the time to do it. You can also check out some goodies free from Leonie here.

I can't say enough about how much I've already gotten from this. I'm learning how to create passive streams of income as well as networking with other women who are dedicated to living amazing lives.

The initial $99 gets you a year's membership which means you can dive into any of the threads and mine them for great information. It's for all business owners who are serious about taking their business to the next level.

It's coaching. It's metaphysical. It's practical. It works. It's amazing.

There are financial advisors, B&B owners, Reiki healers, knitters and more here.

I'll stop now. I know I'm being an evangelist, but it's that damned good, y'all.

I can't say enough about FHTM. I just attended the convention in Vancouver, and am so happy to have found a company with this much integrity and honesty.

Energy has been de-regulated in 7 states so far. By gathering customers to switch to our energy company, you will have residual income for life.

I truly believe that everyone should have a home based business. Why give your hard earned money to the IRS?

Contact me for more information. We have a special program called TAXBOT that all home based business people should use. It is amazing!!!

UPDATE: I just signed up for my 401K yesterday and I believe that is the beginning of my life as a real worker at home! I was also asked by my boss to work a special project in the next 3 weeks, and I agreed, with her knowing that I'm taking a weeks vacation from Aug. 5-9. Our best friend here in town will stay at the house with the animals, and we are off to San Antonio! YIPEE! That's another perk about working at home, you get to take time off in the summer at my job when you want to...

Then the following week is my birthday! YAHOO! I'm going to be 49 this year and am thoroughly enjoying it! Now I do not have to work, but I'm getting appointments for my bday, so it's going to be a busy day. Hoping my honey has something planned.

Love to all!
