Why more and more people are choosing to work from home

Sheridan Woodcroft
More and more people are making the decision to work from home. Computer technology and the world wide web has enabled people to change the way they work. It is much more time and cost effective to work from home, not to mention an improvement in lifestyle. Imagine, no commuting, working the hours that suit you and spending more quality time with your family.
In the current environment of no job security and massive retrenchments, the appeal of being your own boss and the ability to take control of your life and enjoy a family friendly lifestyle, not to mention the ability to work your own hours is a wonderful enticement to look for other opportunities outside the traditional 9 to 5 JOB (just over broke!). Anyone, from mothers, high flying executives, mechanics, secretaries etc – people from all walks of life are looking for a better way of life.
When looking to get into a new business opportunity you need to ask yourself – does it take full advantage of the fastest growth trends in business today? Are the products consumable i.e. are people going to be using them all the time? Who are the products aimed at i.e. who is your market? Will this market continue to grow? What training is provided and is there a comprehensive mentoring system available at all times? Can I start this business without risk of going bankrupt? Can I make money from day 1?
Narelle Eldridge used to work for Telstra. Today, she has her own e-commerce business and makes more money in 1 month than she used to make in 1 year.
Wanting to find a profitable business working from home so she could be around for her 2 teenage children, Narelle spent over $3000 researching her options. She knew she wanted to work her own hours from home doing something that gave her satisfaction as well as financial freedom.
After starting a business based on one of the options she researched, she realised quickly, it was never going to be something that she loved. So she was back to square one. Not one to give up easily, she then stumbled across an e-commerce business which she started part-time and now makes more money in 1 month than she used to earn in a whole year!
Narelle has a complete business ‘package’ that she teaches to others who also want to change their financial future and who are willing to work with her on developing their own successful home business. “The really great thing about my business now is not so much my own financial success and being able to live a dream life, it’s actually being able to help others to achieve their dreams. To work with people and see their lives changing for the better has to be the most amazing reward of all. I love what I do with a passion”. Narelle says.
