Can You Really Work From Home

I get asked this a lot. Even after I have told someone that I have been working from home for over 8 years, they still manage to come out and ask me this question. For the first couple of times, it caught me off guard. Being that I just told them how long that I have been working from home, they still will ask that question. Sounds a little odd maybe, but after some time and some thought, I realized they are wanting reassurance. And, realistically people needing reassurance is understandable.

So many people would REALLY love to be able to stay at home and earn an income, but they don't really have the slightest idea of how to get started, where to get started and if it really is possible for them. Some people don't feel that it is real for them or it is something that 'they' could do.  People can even may be a little intimidated by it because they have never done it before. Many have fear. However, I think all these thoughts or feelings are quite normal. We all can often have fear of something that we know little about or have never done ourselves.    I was one of them!

I won't go in to all the things that you need to look for when looking for a home business, I already wrote an article about this topic.

Basically what I did want to share was that all these thoughts, feelings, or fears that you or someone may have is to be expected! It's only human to be cautious. It's only human to be fearful of the unknown. It is your minds defense mechanism kicking in to take care of you!

As I said, I too had these fears 8 years ago. I wondered, I thought about it, I was thinking can I? Should I? What if?

I would never consider myself as a brave person or as someone who just jumps into something head first. But, what I can tell you is that had I NOT tried, had I NOT took a little leap of faith and further explored if this was something that I could do, I would forever been wondering if it WAS something that I could of done.

Right now thinking back on the possibility of me not at least trying, I know now what a very very big mistake I would of made. Probably one of the worse mistakes that I would of made. This has been more rewarding for me then anything that I have ever done....and on so many levels!

You ARE always ONE choice away from changing your life....and believe me, as a once fearful, shy, apprehensive individual that I once was, if I can do it, you can too. You can not move forward standing still, and just taking one single step really can lead you to where you really want to be.
