Are you like me? Have you walked into countless job interviews confident and hopeful again and again? Does your resume have one major flaw like mine, which is that you have not maintained the same position for more than one to three years? By our fifth move I knew it was a lost cause. Looking for a job was like a full time job in and of itself.
It can hurt deep in a way for you to know you are more than qualified. You have the drive, the work ethic and the experience. You know you will give 110% and you know that you would be a great asset to whoever had the willingness to hire you. It is a waiting game. Surely soon enough you will find something. Though, if you don’t want to wait and if you have the courage to put yourself out there, there is another option.
YOU CAN WORK FROM HOME!
I have had great success with my online running coaching business
Though I don’t believe I would have ever had the courage to start it, let alone come up with the idea if it weren’t for our military life. The key is to find the courage to discover your best work-from-home scenario. Here are the 10 questions I asked myself before I found success with my work from home business:
- How badly do I want to make this work?
- Am I willing to do what it takes?
- What am I passionate about?
- What skills do I have that can be used to help others?
- Who would my business best serve?
- Am I going to give up when things don’t go perfectly at first?
- Am I willing to put myself out there and talk about my business?
- Does my business have a purpose that is positive and helpful?
- What is my mission statement and how will I maintain it?
- Would I want to utilize what my business offers?
These are just some simple questions to get you started. The key is to find the courage within yourself to find something that you love, that brings you joy, and that you could share with others. Your work-from-home business idea just could become a reality. Have the courage to discover what it may be. Don’t give up if the first handfuls of ideas don’t go smoothly or if there are a few hiccups or kinks to workout. Keep pursuing and reminding yourself why it is you want your work-from-home dream to become a reality!
