11 Reasons Why Working From Home Rocks Your World

What I find strange is how you HAVEN'T provided a link to YOUR website anywhere in your posts or signature, even after nearly 200 posts. Makes one wonder why, since you presume to be some sort of expert in telling others how they are wrong.

Instead, you prefer to hide in the shadows and attack others for showing themselves and their ideas. Doesn't seem too brave, my friend. In fact, I'd call it cowardice.

I'm not here to make an enemy of you bro, but seriously, get that stick out of your butt. OK?

This is a marketing forum. I'm sure you've heard of it - "marketing". If you think my posts are spam, you must hate marketing, marketing forums, and the internet in general.

Including a link in my signature to my website isn't a unique event in the universe or a cardinal sin after providing actual content rather than "join my opp!!!" in every single post. I MIGHT agree with the notions that my posts were spam if they were numerous and blatant advertisements for X*nax, pron, or other naughties.

But they're not, regardless of the fact you think my posts are full of BS. I haven't spammed in any way.

Lastly, you were "pitched on Carbon Copy Pro" because you took the time to fill out the submission fields and press "submit". Nowhere on my public page does it even mention CCP. It took action on your part to find that out, friend. You weren't spammed.

If you want to be removed from the subsequent automated email course that arrives, PM me and I'll take you off.

Anyway, this thread has swerved WAAAAY off-topic. Getting back on track.

 

I have to say in a much less direct way than the other guy, that I don't think your positivity is worth as much as you claim. Being happy about your stead in life is great, but it fills the new folk with dreams of sugar plums, when it's really all about burning the coal for the first few years.

Enjoy your success and speak highly of it - teach others to do as you have. I see that you're successful and I'm sure that you'll bring others to that level because of your attitude.

I just cannot say that I share your views on working from home. Generally when I've been working at home for myself, I have yielded roughly 2.83 cents total over the months to years that I've been unemployed either by my choice or otherwise and that isn't for lack of work ethic or commitment.

A realistic approach isn't far off from what you've said in your 11 reasons why working at home for yourself rocks - it's just those 10 years behind you that you didn't mention off the bat.

End results rule. Hard work is necessary to get there.



Keep up the good work.

Absolutely Spot on!! And these are the reasons why i quit my job as well.
Working at home, and just loving it.

 

I did burn the coal the first few years, as you have said. And it has turned into a Sugar Plum Fairy Tale for me.

I believe there is a period of adjustment, massive learning. Once you have learned to a certain point, the opportunity to work from home makes itself available to you because you've become a person who can handle it.

Yes, hard work, but working smart and working on yourself is more important than working on your business.

 

That sounds like a dream thing. I wont say its that easy as said.

Its hard to concentrate at home. Whereas there is no boss at home. I guess everything has its good and bad.

 

Ya not as easy but once you get rolling. The perks are awesome!

 

Allright, look...

Let me be abundantly clear to everyone who feels like chiming in with "yeah but it's not easy/it's a long journey/it's hard/it's a challenge/you left out the 10 years it takes to succeed/etc etc etc etc..."

I NEVER SAID IT WAS EASY. I NEVER SAID IT WAS BIRTHDAY CAKE. IT TAKES HARD WORK TO SUCCEED FROM HOME.

I am not saying it will all just fall in your lap. It doesn't. I was focusing on the END RESULT of all that hard work. Put your focus there and it can become easier.

Hopefully it is abundantly clear now and people can let it go.

 

Never been said better. Notice I have bolded points here. This is exactly what I'm talking about. There's barely anyone out there who can cope with handling their own business.

wolfbenedict, I'm just testing your response to a different view. Its obvious that its better, but I have a network of like 16 sites and I make a decent living online to pay for car loans and crotchrockets and what not, but I bet if I gave the sites to one out of 99% of webmasters the site would torch in a year(and they are downright easy to run too).

Of course it is. 99% of the people in the world not only can't be there own boss, but they always have a HOOK with anything they offer, even for free.

 

I used to be the 99% of those people who lacked that business sense. It took 10 years for me to wake up. My hopes with the article were to inspire people. Perhaps I'll write a followup that gets people in a realistic frame of mind to achieve the ends to which that article aims.

Is this "hook" you mention a bad thing in your opinion?

From what I can tell, you just described the recipe master marketers use to create their fortunes. They create value, then supply a link to their website for more information - the "hook". That's where the fortune lies - in the hook. This isn't so strange. I'm not sure if this is what you were saying.

Furthermore, if they gave EVERYTHING they taught away for free, it would be worthless. Imagine the kind of freeloading fanfare that would result if everyone on the planet had the entitlement mentality that they should receive everything for free (many do). I'm not interested in entitlement "give it all to me for free" mentalities. I'll give stuff away, but not ALL of it.

The 1%-3% successful marketing crowd realize and understand that marketing and good information comes with a price. All the rest of the people who complain about it don't understand marketing, or aren't willing to expand their money ideas. Too bad for them.

Yes, I offer content, value, and I expect to get paid for it. No big secret there.

You are obviously disciplined, skilled and knowledgeable enough to maintain 16 different sites and pay your way through life. That's an awesome feat. I agree that in different hands, it could all fall apart in a year.

Sounds like me 5-10 years ago.
