Picture this, a man sitting at his desk pounding away at his computer. Often there are blank stares into the screen while sipping on his coffee. The work keeps on piling and he slowly gets behind. It’s now Friday night and he has to work late because he didn’t the work done earlier in the week. There’s no time for wife or kids. Sound familiar? No, it’s not the guy in the cubicle at the office. It’s the man with the home based business.
Everyday thousands of people slave away hidden behind their computer hoping and dreaming they can make a ton of money inside the home based business arena. Truth be told, this man along with many of the others will not. But why you ask? He’s a dedicated worker – whatever it takes he gets his tasks accomplished. This man should surely succeed if he sticks to it. Granted he might be able to make a living doing this work, is that true success?
True success in the home based business arena does not only mean one is able to make a comfortable living off of what they do, but also that they enjoy their life and the work they do. If the man in this example truly enjoyed his work, he would have no issue completing his work during the week so that he would not have to miss time with his family on Friday night.
To have fun with your home based business is all about your passion. If you can be passionate about what you are doing, there lies the beginning of having with your business. The old saying goes “time flies when you’re having fun.” So if you’re having fun in your business you will constantly be working without distractions and the time will fly by. If you end up working late any night of the week, it’s because you enjoy what you are doing not because you see it as a chore.
Having fun in life and business is important not only for the financial gain, but also the social benefits. It’s not wise to sit behind your computer all day. It’s great to get out and network and connect with other people.
One neat thing with the company I partner with is that they hold quarterly contests for vacations. The most recent contest allows the winners and their spouse to go on a 7 night Caribbean cruise, all expenses paid plus $1,000 cash. Now how’s that for fun? Not only are you going on a free cruise, but you’re also going with people you are doing business with and connect and forging more relationships and possibly lifetime friendships. All the while you’re getting paid from the work being you do in your home based business.
