Why working from home is great!

Here I am sitting in my air conditioned office. It's 36 degrees celcius outside and my kids are on school holidays.

I started my working day at 10.00am this morning and I am in shorts and a t-shirt!  Sound good? I think so.  In my opinion, thats one of the best benefits from working from home.  My children are off playing in the family room with their big screen TV. I am here to make them lunch, and later on we are off to a friends house for a swim.  My day is completely flexible and I can schedule my work around my family.  Even when my husband, children and I head off for a month long holiday in a few weeks, I will pack up my laptop and run my business from the beach house that we are renting for the summer.

My life wasn't always this fabulous and in fact it was quite the contrary. I have worked in a number of jobs where I would often work twelve hour shifts and spent most of my time making my boss rich.  Although I usually loved my job and the people I worked with, I soon learned that I was never going to advance beyond where I was and my income was limited to the hours I spent at work.

As with any entrepreneur, I felt I deserved a lot better, which is how I ended up where I am today. I now network with like minded individuals committed to creating lifetime wealth.  The freedom that I have is amazing. I can work at my own pace, when it suits me, and I have the time to spend with friends and family. Knowing that I can have it all - a successful business and most importantly a successful family is my motivation to continue what I am doing systematically every day.

Probably the best part about what I do is helping others acheive the lifestyle that they have always wanted.  One of my girlfriends came to me the other day with the news that she & her husband are expecting their third child.  Instead of being excited, she was really worried about how another child would affect their income knowing that putting three children into childcare was not financially viable on her part time salary.  Luckily for her, she knew a phone call to me would help her figure out how she can create income from home whilst caring for her young family.  After a long conversation and some preliminary planning, she has gone away safe and secure in the knowledge that she has the support of myself and others in our network to help her succeed.

By paying it forward and giving the opportunities I have been presented with to others gives me a great feeling of acheivement.  I have always been a team player, and get great satisfaction from helping others to get the most out of their lives too!
