A Work at Home Challenge - Do You Spend More Time Working, or Searching?
simplesahm | August 7, 2007 If you are currently looking for home-based work, or if you are looking for additional income sources, have you ever taken the time to consider the amount of time you spend searching? Are you searching now? Did you find my blog during your home-business hunt? If so, bookmark me... and keep reading. This is just the first post in a series of home-business challenges I have for you.
In a previous post (Find Your Passion or Fake it Until You Make It?) I talked about how it may not be a bad idea to settle for a "less-than-perfect" home business in order to gain experience.
There are hundreds of websites dedicated to helping moms and dads work from home. Every day, thousands of new opportunities are posted. You've probably already learned that if you search often enough, you can begin to weed through the "too good too be true" jobs and find a business that may be right for you.
Obviously, searching can take a tremendous amount of time. It involves hours of web-surfing, submitting resumes and filling out forms. You'll probably want to network with others to find out what the job is really like and if you are a candidate for a position, you may be required to interview for the position, take tests or send in additional writing samples.
I've been watching a thread on a message board recently regarding this topic. It was interesting to see how many people said that the searching can become addictive. Some even said that they spend time searching even though they already have a full-time job or work-at-home business.
