Don’t Be Affraid Of Mistakes

Wednesday, February 28th, 2007

We all make mistakes. Some are bigger, some are smaller. Some have a huge effect on our lives (business or personal) some only slightly touch us and we’ll forget about them by tomorrow.
Any way you look at it, mistakes are unavoidable in the real world. The only way you can protect yourself against them [...]

The Key-Word in “Work At Home”: WORK

Tuesday, February 20th, 2007

For the past about three and a half years I have been involved with a few work at home opportunities. None of them worked out for me. I was so mad at wasting my time (and in some instances my money) that, soon after each one “failed” I was calling them scams. I am not [...]

Are You Work At Home Material?

Wednesday, February 14th, 2007

A few days back I came across a couple of articles belonging to two different work at home dads: Why I hate working from home and Why One Partner Needs to Go Out and Work. They both talk about obstacles that come into the life of a work at home entrepreneur.
I somehow have the feeling [...]

Original Ideas Get The Best Results

Friday, February 9th, 2007

Important: Apparently I was wrong in using Mack as my starting point for this post - please read his comment. However, I still stand by my point that originality in your business endeavours is the one that can bring you the best results.
Yesterday I decided to join The Z-List. As Maki and Becky pointed out [...]

There’s 3 main ideas that come out of the discussion (a very short one as a matter of fact):

What If Everyone Starts Working From Home?

Monday, January 22nd, 2007

Have you ever asked yourself this question?
It crossed my mind a couple of times.
I found a first version when I was browsing a forum dedicated to a certain HYIP (I’ll talk about HYIPs some other time). At that time almost everyone was very happy with its performance. Of course it all came to an end [...]

Disadvantages of Working at Home - part 4

Monday, January 1st, 2007

As I’ve said in this post a topic such as advantages and disadvantages of anything is a very subjective one. What might be an advantage for me, might be a disadvatages for you and the other way around. And while there are certain advantages and disadvantages I have in mind, there might be others [...]

Disadvantages of Working at Home - part 3

Friday, December 29th, 2006

One of the disadvantages we’ve talked about so far is that working from home can involve quite a lot of loneliness. This is usually for folks who don’t have yet a family or those who isolate themselves to get the job done.
What about those who have just recently started a family and have a few [...]

Thursday, December 28th, 2006

We’ve seen so far that one of the things home business entrepreneurs need to watch out for is self discipline (actually the lack of it).
It’s time now to talk about other disadvantages of working from home.
The next thing that comes to mind is loneliness. A home based business brings a lot of it. You end [...]
