Working from home

Home workers’ primary place of work is usually at home as the name suggests, and is seen as a desirable option for most. Working from home is sometimes perceived to be unachievable, which is certainly not the case.

Working from home vs traditional job
Being employed is easy and straightforward in terms of tax, employment and legal worries, as these are handled by your employer on behalf of you. The fact that these worries are not your responsibility is a definite bonus. The downside to being employed is that most employers tend to cap your earnings potential with a yearly salary, so you get a fixed rate no matter how hard you work, which can be annoying and somewhat depressing.

Working from home on the other-hand takes the benefits of both employment and self-employment and adds a few extra benefits. You get the potential of earning as little or as much as you like, not having capped wages, means you can earn a salary allows you to live and work comfortably. If you choose the right money making opportunity your earning potential is unlimited

Flexible working hours gives you the flexibility to fetch children from schooling or be in for that important parcel delivery. Plus you will not have the expense of commuting to and from a place of work. Also working from home is less stressful, gives better well-being and self fulfilment

On the increase
Due to the economic downturn, home based opportunities are on the incline as a recent survey suggests. Companies are looking to save costs in any way they can. Employer’s building rental and other overheads are costly and can be saved by employing workers to do their work in the comfort of their own home.

Bill Cullen

I met Bill Cullen for the first time about 25 years ago (if I am not mistaken it was in Joxer Dalys in Dorset Street Dublin) when I was just starting out in my first business venture. At that time all I knew about Bill was that he was the  man who bought a major car dealership for 1p. His first advice to me was choose a good mentor and that your "Ma was a good place to start" as she is probably the only person in the world that will always put you welfare and success first. Good advice.

Goal Setting

What sets those people who achieve their goals apart from those who don’t? The clue is actually in the question – it’s having a goal.

“When people tell us that their business isn’t moving forward as fast as they would like it to or that they are frustrated with their progress, our question back is always ‘what are your goals for the next 12 months?’ We are astounded how often people reply that they do not have any goals, do not know how to set them or are afraid of failure.

Quite simply, successful goal setting is – in our opinion – the one thing that more than anything else turned our lives and our business around. It’s simply too important not to do it.

The best goal-setting exercise we have ever found is the one in Jim Rohn’s excellent book, 7 Strategies for Wealth and Happiness. We had never set proper goals, but this book taught us how. It shows that the key is to make a long list of everything you aspire to – at least 50 things to start with.

• What do I want to see?

• Where do I want to go?

• What would I like to share?

• What do I want to do?

• What do I want to be?

With these half-dozen queries in mind, answer the primary question: What do I want within the next one to ten years? Don’t try to be too detailed now, this will come later. If you want a grey Mercedes 380SL with blue interior, just write ‘380’ and move onto the next item.

After you have completed your list, write alongside each thing the number of years you want to achieve it in – one, three, five or ten. Then check your goals are in balance. Too many one year goals means that you are not thinking big enough, while too many ten year goals is probably a sign that you don’t want to get to work today!

The next step is to choose four goals from each timeframe and then write a detailed description of that goal, followed by a paragraph of what it will be like when you achieve it and why you want to. If you find you cannot do this for any particular goal, this indicates that it is not a true goal for you.
