I have been living in this neighborhood for five years and I’m just now meeting the neighbors. It is not that they are unfriendly or that I didn’t want to meet them, it’s just that I had a very demanding job. I worked a lot of extra hours, it was usually dark before I got home, and I went on frequent business trips. With the little free time I had, I just didn’t have the time or energy to walk around the neighborhood and make an effort to meet anyone.
Well, all that changed when I made the decision to quit my “job” and start my own business. Yesterday, I met two neighbors and today I met another one. That’s because I took the time to walk around the neighborhood and speak to people that I saw outside. It’s a lot different when you are working at home instead of getting home after 6:00 in the evening. When you’re working at home, you can take a break and take a short walk (or long one for that matter) while it’s still daylight.
I can’t make claims of luxurious homes, vacations, and yachts like some people, but I can tell you with my own business I work my own hours, I am my own boss, I enjoy working from home, and I make money doing it. It is a lot easier than having an hour’s commute each morning and evening five days a week. It also brings peace of mind – the stress is gone, no reports or projects due in the morning, no boss to answer to, no conference calls and no meetings.
Also, I can’t claim to work only a few hours a week because in fact I work more hours than I did when I had a regular job. I don’t mind the extra work because I am building my own business and not someone else’s. I am making money for myself and not for the boss.
Have you met your neighbors?
