Many people view working from home as a laid back way to work, being able to meet up with friends for lunch at any time, sitting by the pool with your glass of wine and maybe your phone will ring or you will get an assignment to do something the week and money will just be falling into your bank account.
While that sounds all glitzy and glamorous, the reality is that it takes hard work, several hours a week, patience and a lot of elbow grease to start making significant money in your work from home career. It is not as easy or simple as it may seem, but it definitely can be truly rewarding, fulfilling and challenging. I happen to enjoy a good challenge so I get great personal and professional satisfaction from the work I do.
There are some highly necessary characteristics of successful at home workers. These are necessary because the work does not just come to you, you have to go online and find it. Responding to proposal after proposal takes time and there will be a lot of times you will not get picked. Remember, when you are working from home, you are not just going up against 50 other people, you are going up against hundreds of thousands of other people from all over the world.
Learning to write a killer proposal that will get you noticed almost every time takes practice. I can tell you that I have learned the secret to writing stand out proposals and because of that, I am able to work full time from home with the clients that I want to work for.
The characteristics you will need are:
Determination
Motivation
Multi-tasking
Highly Detail Oriented
Persistent
Organized
These are must haves in order to make the cut. If this sounds like you, then you might want to start looking at your work from home options. While there are many scams out there, I have found some of the true blue best websites to get started with your home-based career.
My newest class titled “From In Office To Home Office In 1 Year” is a 4 week Virtual Workshop that will give you step by step information on areas like creating a stand out profile, writing a winning proposal, responding to RFP’s, where to look for consistent projects and even more.
This one of a kind class will get you pointed in the right direction and if you are anything like me, you will be working full-time from home in no time. Join me for life changing workshop where you will finally be able to take control of your life and your destiny.
