Do you want an opportunity to work from home? Or is it freedom itself that you are truly after? The answer for me is easy. I want the freedom. I have been chained to my brick and mortar businesses long enough. Stealing a three day weekend here and there isn’t the kind of annual vacation plans I have for my three children and certainly isn’t the freedom I expect from being an entrepreneur. I realize great effort is involved in building a business. I renewing a focus on putting in a concerted effort in building it up front and then letting it run and maintain profitability for the long term. This requires a system, which is the cornerstone of this internet marketing plan.
I do like the fact that I have not had a boss in almost ten years. I have enjoyed success in my mortgage business. The problem is that I was never really leveraged. The automation was never in place. Given the current changes in the mortgage business I don’t know if I can ever be leveraged and gain the freedom I wanted from being my own boss. So started what I call — “The Search”. This search lasted almost a full year andWork from anywhere was necessary for me to gain experience and first hand knowledge of all the junk that is put out there.
When I started searching for a work from home “exit strategy”, I had a few qualifying factors in mind. One was that the company had to be legitimate, honest and reputable. If I was going to put my reputation and name on something then it needed to be completely legitimate. The second factor was that it needed to be profitable. Thirdly, I wanted to be able to work from my laptop – from anywhere. Work from home sounds good, but “working from anywhere” sounds better. There were many other factors I was looking for in a work from home business opportunity but I will keep it to three here.
I am enjoying the work in this business model. The work is not hard, although it’s easy to become overwhelmed with information at times. That said, there’s definitely a learning curve as I have not done much in the way of internet marketing in my other businesses. I am already receiving the rewards in five short weeks and that is very motivating and re-enforces my commitment. I have run a franchise before where it took three years to reach a break even point and that wasn’t even factoring in my start up costs.
