When you jump out of the sack and realize you're the boss, slow down, take your 30 second stroll down the hallway to your executive offices with extreme pleasure.
What a wonderful feeling to suddenly realize there's no more driving to the office or going round and round to find your car spot.
No elevators or steps in the lower rent district.
Rush hour is gone from your agenda.
You've left the former boss in charge, he can kiss your grit good by or whatever.
You ain't coming back any time soon.
With a little blind luck you're going to open a home based business.
What's it going to be is not yet decided but you're getting closer.
First step is done, quitting your day job.
Now, it's research time on the Internet to find your niche.
A little capital to invest with lots of energy will suffice.
Maybe you can become a Virtual Assistant, a technology specialist, and the list goes on.
Just begin and be surprised with the jobs and career choices that appear.
[sidebar: Only you know if a home business is a good idea.
Everybody is different.
Some folks enjoy working alone while others would go bonkers.
Some folks keep their day job for security reasons [income] until their home business is turning a profit [making money].
Your situation with family, finances, skills, etc.
must be evaluated, discussed and agreed to with loved ones.
Not a good idea unless everyone votes in favor of your plans to begin a home business].
Becoming a Virtual Assistant may prove an interesting career path.
You may have clients around the world if you choose to offer VA services.
Bi-lingual skills will increase your value and add new clients .
Most VA's never see their clients face to face which is very different from the norm.
Try putting a face to their voice and plan to be surprised.
[maybe they'll send you a picture!] Obviously, your response time and quality of work is key to your compensation.
Most of us usually want it yesterday or sooner.
Your ability to manage your personal work schedule as well as the work of future VA assistants will be your ace card in building an exceptional clientele.
It's very simple, right? Never accept jobs under excessive pressure from a client.
Only you know the commitments already scheduled and promised on your calendar.
Don't let the TAIL wag the DOG or your client drive your business.
Forget about the tales you've heard about working in your underwear.
Begin your day as a professional VA with shower, hair and makeup finished as if you were going downtown to meet a new client.
There's something special about looking successful, being well groomed, putting on nice clothes and beginning your day with a great attitude.
You have the master key for success in your own business.
