Is a home based business right for you?
Filed Under (general) by Laura on 01-11-2008
I am a bible reading, god fearing person, and, as the bible tells me, I should not envy. But I do, I really do! My friend has been running his own home based business for a few years now and it is really starting to pay off. He is enjoying shorter hours at work (work being situated in the spare bedroom at home, of course), a great income that goes directly to him, and a very, very short commute.
A few years ago my friend was in a fairly mundane job that didn’t pay so well and involved a long commute. He was a dreamer: cars, boats, nice house. He was convinced that some how, one day, he would make it big and hit the jackpot. He has done that now.
And in fact it was all down to hard work in the end. Good honest hard work is what is needed in a home based business just like in any other business.
As I said, I read the bible and I try not to be jealous, but my friend’s material possessions, his lifestyle and just his general happiness make me a little bit jealous. Jealous enough to feel that his path is one that I would like to take, too. Watch this space.
