Are you as tired of the hype and promises about how to make money from home as I am?

It seems like every other tweet is about how to make more money or gain thousands of new followers.

Has anyone ever called a the phone number that they saw on a sign that was taped to a traffic light pole about making executive money from home - I mean other than to listen to see what other people would fall for? Come on people.

Here is what I believe. People are typically good, genuine and want the best for their family and for the people that they know. People want to live a life balanced between meaningful work, loving friends and family and spending time doing things that they love during their leisure time. Is that too much to ask for? Why does earning a living take up so much effort and energy that we do not have anything left at the end of the day for the things that we are passionate about, like kids, pets, our spouse, dancing, painting, gardening or the thousands of other activities that we could do.

When did we give up dreaming about what we want to be when we grow up? I think that adults ask kids what they want to be when they grow up because the adults are looking for ideas. I spoke with a dear friend of mine earlier today and asked her what she wanted. She told me her answer, which I am going to keep private between us. Her answer is irrelevant, her feelings were critical. She was guarded, careful and did not communicate with the typical zest that I know that she is. Then I asked her if she was committed to the answer that she said. She started to cry. She said that whenever she stated what she wanted, people would judge her and make fun of her when she did not achieve it so she stopped saying what she is committed to and stopped being committed to her dream.

If I were to ask you, “What do you want?” without any direction or guidance or limitation, what would you say? Now, are your actions and activities in alignment with what you say that you want? For most of us, the answer, at least part of the time, is “no.”

TODAY, stop waiting on someone else to change you world. They are not going to. You will. You’re it, no one else. Neither your boss, spouse, kids, support person, partner, employees nor anyone else will be able to change your world like you can. You can make a MASSIVE difference TODAY. Do it. Be bold. Make the phone call you have been avoiding. Talk about the turd in the punch bowl. Come clean. Take overwhelming action TODAY! Don’t let anyone misunderstand your intentions.

Being an entrepreneur and working from home is the dream/fantasy for millions of people because people believe that it is the key for a balanced life. The key to a balanced life is choosing a balanced life. Working from home is a result, not a cause. Make a choice for what you want and commit to it and watch the world adjust.
