Starting is the most difficult part of working from home.  Most people get in their own way and never jump in and start. It is easy to convince yourself that it won’t work.  Just getting in there and writing is a big part of the hurdle. The results may build slowly, but you will be closer to your goal just by beginning. Breaking up the ideas into little doable parts is the biggest tip I can give you for starting.
The second part is that the process is confusing. 

There are so many things to learn that it can get overwhelming. I have been blogging for quite a while and tried a variety of things to make money.  Every time I try something new, I learn something about the process.  I have tried writing articles, transcribing, SEO.  I have embraced learning about the technology and keeping current.  I try things with a good attitude that even if it doesn’t work out, I have learned what not to do. This is vital to keep up with the process.


Save your work as you go. I cannot emphasize this enough. Not all the interfaces for working from home are great. It is heart breaking to lose hours of work, because you forgot to save. I have done this, and it is not fun.



Keep organized in the process. Write or keep track of websites and password carefully, because it takes time to recover passwords and it is frustrating. Beware of scams and fake sites because they are out there.  Look at reviews on work for hire sites and if something seems off, don’t do it.  Protecting yourself and trust your judgement.  There are many legitimate sites that do not require money to start.  Writing blog articles, transcribing, survey sites are examples of work that don’t require any money to complete.

How do you make the shift to living your dream?   Scaling your lifestyle seems impossible? How do you match realistic lifestyles needs with your budget?   I created this blog for people wanting to make the shift to a simpler lifestyle. Going from a hectic lifestyle to one of calm abundance can be done. Each post features a key concept that can help you achieve peace after burnout.   My realization came after my body gave up after steady weeks of 12 hour days at work. Sleeping became impossible. I would lie down and stare at the wall. If I managed to sleep at all, it would be four hours. Then my eyes would pop open and I was lying wide awake. I realized there was no way I could keep this up. It shifted my thinking to simplicity in everything that I do. I started the journey to wellness and thriving and realized I can help others gain this also. It's work to restructure your life, but it is worth it. You and only you can decide if this is important to you...

Fake Reviews-Buyers Beware

If you think that reviews are honest for websites check again.  This is what one person wanted to have for their website.... This wasn't published but is an example of what was hired to be written for their company. This was a so buyer beware, just because there are reviews doesn't mean that they are legitimate. They may easily have been bought on the many writing for hire sites. This particular buyer was looking for yard services, but the bought review can be for all varieties of products and services. The reviews that we all rely on might not be that accurate. It might be written by somebody who has never done that service.

I'm a new teacher at VIP KIDS.  YAY! This is an online tutoring system that teaches English to Chinese students.  I am excited to hopefully get some lessons taught.  The hardest part is now getting people to sign up for me. I have  ideas  if I can get students. I'm having fun visiting the thrift store looking for props to stock up on. I am reviewing the lessons and figuring out my reward system. I just need students to teach! I have one student booked for tomorrow night and I'm ready to go. I'm excited to get on board this train and teach. This could be a great side hustle for me if it works out.  It took a lot of research to get hired. I had to get past the idea of it possibly being a scam. It's not, I talked to a lot of people and did my homework. This involves teaching and organizing and using a lot of TPR. This is learning with body actions to help the students understand the words and meanings. I think it fits in well with the ...
