Do People Really Have Work At Home Careers?
I’m trying to recall exactly how skeptical I was regarding true work at home careers before meeting someone with the real deal. Even after walking away from that initial encounter, it couldn’t have been easy to accept that this was something normal, or possible for the masses.
Perhaps what happens whenever we discover something new and unusual is that we tune into possibilities, like finding a new radio or TV station. Prior to the encounter of someone with a work at home career we simply skip over that channel without realizing it even exists.
I have no difficulty whatsoever recalling the variety of programming the ‘Work At Home’ station broadcast to my mind after discovering the channel. Just about every field of business or occupation has found its way into this style of career. Real people continue to make the decision daily to move their business into the home. Some decide to leave the workforce to pursue a career from home.
While not all occupations or businesses can manage this, imaginative entrepreneurs keep dreaming up new ways of conducting business from home. The services industry alone has seen an explosion of educational products, courses and specialized tools, designed to equip professionals who want to close their offices and work from home.
Work at home careers enable higher education to reach part time students who can now take courses whenever they have spare time. Both teachers and students are free to move about the world while this process takes place. Whether a professor develops a course of study for college credit, or simply creates an educational product for sale online, the demand for these services keeps instructors, marketers, web developers and many other business owners busy. They can all work from an office, from home, the local coffee shop or the public library.
Novelists conducted their careers from home since before the invention of the typewriter.
The bigger question usually isn’t whether work at home careers are possible, as much as how does a particular person fit their specific professional and educational background into a work at home lifestyle. Many people who are either dissatisfied with their current situation, or see the value in the lifestyle of a home business owner, never get beyond the doubt in their ability to pull it off.
Fortunately there are many, work at home business owners, who help people with that dilemma on a daily basis. The network of home business entrepreneurs adds to their numbers daily because of this effort to help others realize the lifestyle they enjoy. Leaders are recognized and followed because of their eagerness to serve people from all walks of life, everywhere in the world.
Often the mistake people make is in thinking that success in a home business depends only upon their past education. The idea is probably born out of the realization that they can’t land a job from an employer without the specific knowledge necessary to do that job. This is translated into a lack of self confidence and stops the process cold.
In my professional experience, without constant study and learning, the changes around me would have easily rendered my past education useless in a matter of months. It is always necessary to continually accumulate knowledge to apply directly to one’s occupation.
Starting a work at home business may require a lot of information. Even if the information is comprehensive, sustaining the business demands that the knowledge base keep increasing. Think of it like starting at the bottom and the top at the same time. Because we must do the work, we are required to ingest the information, and organize it into a workable plan of action. Because we are also the owners, we require that any new information also be absorbed, organized and applied to the plan.
Entrepreneurs set goals in personal development which always includes increasing their specialized knowledge in their business. Their work at home careers have an ongoing educational element built into the framework. I do remember the name of the last man who said this to me, but I’m not sure where it originated; ‘No new knowledge equals no new money.’ Advancement in any career or business hinges upon an individual’s eagerness to continually acquire and apply new information, regardless of where they choose to work.
