Monday Morning Blues?
It’s a cloudy Monday morning here in the UK, and I often remind myself on days like this that five years ago I was joining commuters on the 30 minute morning drive to work, trying to wake myself up to face the day ahead, while the weekend faded away into oblivion.
These days my commute is somewhat shorter: from my bedroom to the spare room where I have my office. I can gently ease myself into Monday morning, and while I don’t sit at my computer in my pyjamas, I certainly don’t have to wear a smart suit and have perfect hair!
I became self employed just over four years ago, and despite set backs, some financial, I have not regretted it for one second. In the last year I discovered affiliate marketing and am happily building my business and looking forward to financial freedom in the not too distant future.
Today I have the Olympics running on one half of my computer while I’m typing, and I have an old school friend coming round for lunch.
Don’t be fooled, though. Working for yourself at home is hard work and discipline is needed to keep up the momentum. But I can honestly say I find it easier to get out of bed these mornings than I did five years ago! And if I need to catch up I can work in the evening, or get up an extra half hour earlier if necessary.
Working at home gives you flexibility and freedom. In these days of recession and work insecurity, it is certainly worth looking at self employment as an option. There are many choices available for the home worker - and you don’t have to put up a lot of money either.
If you’re fed up with Monday morning, why not contemplate a home business? It’s definitely one way of improving your Monday!
