Launch Your Business While Working at Home
Do you want to launch your business but don’t know how to start? The dream of some employees is that, one day, they will quit their job and start a business. But to some, that day may never come until one day, they suddenly discover that they have spent all their productive life doing the job they don’t enjoy.
If you take a statistics of one hundred employees and ask them if they like their job, there is likelihood that greater percent will answer in negative. One may then begin to wonder why they are still holding on to the job. Well, this sounds like a million dollar question. If you are not in their shoes, you may not understand how it feels. Or you may hurriedly jump into conclusion that they should resign from the job if actually they don’t like the job. But the truth is that, it is easier said than done.
Doing the job you don’t like can be very frustrating. Many get entangled in such job because of the money that is involved. If you happen to find a job that pays fat salary, you may not think twice before you jump into it. In this case, money is the motivation. But unfortunately, no sooner than some employees started such jobs than they found out that the job is not the type they would have loved to do if given options. Well, you cannot eat your cake and have it, as they say. So, the pains continues days after days, weeks after weeks, and months after months until you get stuck. However, this situation is still better in the sense that, if you find yourself in such job, you can give yourself a target, save enough money, and then get out of the system.
But what of the people doing a job they don’t like and the pay is poor at the same time? This is “double wahala for dead body”. A lot of people are in this category. The high rate of unemployment to be blamed. At least, half bread is better than none! It can be argued that having a job that help you keep soul and body together is still better. But how long can one go with this type of job? But the problem is, if you should leave the job, there is no assurance that you will get another job within few months. So, the rat race continues!
However there is hope! If there is no job there, the truth is that, you can create a job for yourself. That is, you can launch your business no matter how small. I understand that with the COVID-19 effects, a lot of employees now work from home. Do you know that you can actually use this work from home period to your advantage? I am not saying you should cheat on your employer. You still need to do your job as long as you remain in the employment. But, have you thought about starting something small in your spare time? Even if you go to work from Monday to Friday, you still have weekend to yourself.
I know that an employee in a busy city spends an average of four to six hours commuting to and fro work every day. Now that you don’t need to hit the roads going to and coming back from work, what are you doing with the extra time? You shouldn’t allow the time to waste just like that. Do you know you can invest the extra time towards starting your own business? You can actually launch your business by utilizing your spare time, Imagine you investing six hours daily into the business? I say six hours because you have enough energy to work more by staying at home. Working at home does not only save you time; it saves you the stress of commuting on traffic jammed roads. I understand that not all businesses can fit into your extra time. The truth is that, there are many business ideas out there that you can try out. Some may not even require much capital. For instance, you can start content writing job. There are many bloggers looking for people to hire that can be writing for them. I believe you have a skill. To work as a content writer, you just need to develop your writing skill in the area of your chosen field. I know some people who earn much more money from writing than what their regular job pays them. If you can’t write, you can learn other things like website development, logo designs, affiliate marketing or multi level marketing etc. In case you don’t have any idea of what to do, you can go through our over 150 business ideas. I believe that before you finish the article, you will find an idea that will help you launch your business.
I want to say that, there are always business ideas everyday. While some may be becoming obsolete, new ones are also springing up. For instance, even though COVID-19 has negative impacts on many people, businesses and even the economy at large, it still comes with some hidden benefits. In the darkness, there is always light. Whether we like it or not, we may need to live with the impact of COVID-19 for some time. Personally, I have the impression that COVID-19 has given a definition to how businesses will be conducted henceforth. If we still do things the way we did before the outbreak of the pandemic, I will conclude that we have not learn enough. Instead of us bemoaning the impact of COVID-19, it is high time we began asking ourselves what can we make out of the situation? With this kind of mindset, beautiful things can be birthed.
