Online jobs versus online businesses
It’s your online business, not your online hobby
An online business versus an online job has a different mindset for the individual. A job is something you do for someone else. It is something that dominates your day and your time with a pre-established schedule.
Work is your master, not the other way around. You work for someone else. Even if this is online, the truth remains the same… you are still an employee. You have heard that you can earn money online by working online for a company or a third party (this is not as an affiliate or a seller). You do jobs for someone else and complete a W4.
This to me is literally the lifestyle I intended to avoid when I got into the online business. This model could not and would not.
I know you see the ads. “We’re looking for jobs for stay at home moms,” but some of these places may not only not offer you a good job, they’ll put horrible hours on you. Not all of them are like that, although some are.
Why I like the online business model
For me it’s about control. I like to control my day. If I want to work in the morning, I can do this. If I want to work until the wee hours of the morning… that’s my right. Why? Because I decide how successful (or unsuccessful) my business is and this is through my effort.
It can be the highest paid hard job I’ve ever done or the easiest and lowest paid job I’ve ever done. This falls squarely on my shoulders. You will see that the problem with many online companies that you can work for is stability.
Many of them catch people off guard by making grandiose claims that make things look easy. For example, it might read something like “Earn money online today, $55-$65 per hour, no experience required.”
What happens is that the unsuspecting people who trust these people invest time, money and effort in a business that might not last the rest of the year. I have seen this with my own eyes. I always advocate starting your own online business. Why do you ask? Who can you trust better than yourself? I’ll tell you, if I’m going to invest in anything, it’s going to be me, period.
you won’t be disappointed
When you are successful, those you love are successful. Those you care about are successful. It’s about grabbing your dream and never letting it go. To work for someone else is to help him further your dream through his efforts. Being self-employed helps you make your dreams come true.
I know where the difficulty comes from. It is at the starting point. How do you start? Where do you start? Can I start my online business quickly and with minimal investment?
