The Value In Being Your Own Boss

Welcome to my blog and I hope you enjoy it!!

This is my first real blog and while my mother will tell you I have a lot to say I would also like to make sure that I can share information that will be helpful to others. If there is a topic you would like me to write about let me know and I will see what I can do.

I currently live in Las Vegas, NV. I have a beautiful home here on the golf course and about 45 minutes from Lake Mead which is perfect for me because I spend most of the summer on my boat. One of the benefits to me in working for myself is that with my cell phone and laptop, my boat is my summer office. 
the value in being your own bossImagine taking a run around the lake on the air chair, then spending 20 minutes or so returning calls, and then back on the air chair for another run. What is amazing is the more fun I am having, the more money I make. Why? Because when you are happy you put out that energy and it is infectious.

 My business allows me a lot of time freedom. I work 15-20 hours a week. The rest of that time is spent with friends and family, golfing, or house hunting which is what I did last week. 

If you are not living the life you deserve, then when is now a good time to start? There are so many businesses out there ready for you. Just find the one that fits your values and go for it. The home business industry is growing astronomically and while so many of my friends are worried about paying the bills, I am out living life. You can too.

Sit and think about what your perfect business would be and then find it. I have been lucky enough to find mine twice, once in 1999 and again 3 years ago, and both times, I made every excuse in the book NOT to start.

It's too good to be true.
It's too much money to start.
It costs money.
I don't have time.
It is saturated.
People will laugh at me.
And the list goes on.

Thank goodness I got out of my own way because everything has changed. My way of thinking, my quality of life, and most of all my opinion of myself. I have value and purpose again. I try not to be too hard on myself for waiting to get started. Instead, I look at it as being able to be an example. People can read my story and maybe it will help them take action now. Remember action equals results.

So decide what you are looking for. Write it down. Then find it, it's out there!
