When Hard Events Happen
Holiday weeks bring to mind that owning your own business means you have choices. In traditional employment, holidays may offer you a day or, perhaps two in a particularly generous employer. Work hours are regimented, hours taken off counted against your alloted time. One of the benefits of owning your own business is the freedom to choose how and when you’ll work. Success requires each of us to engage and do the work, but there are many ways to succeed.
Where do you work? Do you leave the comfort of your home? Do you have to work within borders of an area or level of service? Are you limited by hours available or guilted if you decide to take off for a few days or to travel with your spouse? One of the reasons I enjoy owning my business is that I have freedom of choice. I can work near a beach, in my home, or where ever I choose to travel. I am able to engage individuals where ever I am with the knowledge that if I find someone I’d like to invite on my team, I am unlimited as to who I can engage.
Freedom.
It’s about so much more than a paycheck. It’s knowing you can “ramp up” your income when you desire to, and if you need to take a week off for family, you can make arrangements that meet your personal and professional needs without penalty from work. Last week we saw news of a French tragedy, we were aware that families had to adjust their plans and change their travel. Some were facing horrible news and others fighting for their lives. In such a time the last thing one desires to face is the loss of employment due to unforeseen time off. That alone is reason enough to appreciate the value of owning your own opportunities and knowing that through residual income and the work of your organization, you are never alone and facing forced unemployment.
Whether you’re seeking part time opportunities or full time transitions, I have found a resource that just keeps offering more and more opportunities. Ask me, let me explain to you what I’m doing. Today’s economy takes twists and turns, a diagnosis or tragedy may change how you need to work. I appreciate the freedom my work has given me. In these times having a choice is important. I’ll be happy to share my story.
