All Work At Home and No Play
Make Jack a Dull Boy
Copyright © 2003, Mal

We've all done it!
We sit
for hours in front of our PCs searching, submitting and scrutinizing, while the
very freedom we are building a home business to achieve, dwindles to stolen
moments in between search engine submissions.
I can be almost certain
that from the very moment you got your first check in the mail that you became
hooked on the idea of working entirely from home. So much so that everything
else in your life has had to take a back seat while you build your dream.
Having a dream and pursuing it is a very noble concept but when our
home and family life suffers because of it then it can become a big
problem.
It doesn't have to be this way.
Here are a number of
points that may help you in keeping a balance.
- Discipline yourself - When it comes to the
amount of time you spend building and running your online enterprise. Set a
time limit and don't stray over it.
- Don't drop or cut down on family activities
because of your business. For instance don't stop taking your kids swimming
because you want to learn how to build a website.
- Help in the house chores when they need to
be done. The last thing you want to do is alienate your husband/wife when they
are probably already very sceptical of your new found enthusiasm in all things
cyber.
- Get the family involved where possible.
Show them what exactly it is you are doing and explain to them that your
ultimate goal is to earn enough money working at home to be able to spend more
time with them.
- Don't forget to splash out on the family
when you eventually start to earn some cash from your online ventures. My wife
soon became a believer when she saw some extra money on the table. Well who
wouldn't:-)?
In closing I'm hopeful you have
gotten the gist of this article, get your priorities right and ensure that
everyone is as happy and enthusiastic in your striving for financial freedom as
you are.
I wish you every success in your business dealings.
