Get Educated Before You Work at Home

Is it just me or are there a lot of people walking around in a "Constant State Of Confusion?" It seems that they (you) spend their (our) entire lives just reacting to everything around them. Do you know what I'm talking about? It's the people (maybe even you) that never seem to move in a forward direction in their lives. Even when they (you) seem to take a step forward, they end up taking 2 steps backwards. This is especially true when it comes to people who would like to have a work at home business. And, with some people, this becomes so obvious, it even becomes predictable.

So, why are so many people in this constant state of confusion and non-forward movement when it comes to a work at home business? I believe it has a two-fold answer. First, people have been told that they can make lots of money from home just by working an hour or two a day. Although that may be true in some very rare cases, it's not the norm. Secondly, people have not been "educated" properly on what it actually takes to build a successful home based business. This, by far, is the main reason people wind up in a state of confusion, and walking away from their dream of owning a home business.

As I was writing this article, I received an email with the subject, "Legitimate Work at Home Job." Yes, believe it or not, there are a lot of legitimate jobs that you can work from home. Aside from that, what makes this email so confusing is the subtitle, "I want a job where I don't have to work a ton of hours to make a ton of cash," don't we all? I believe a statement like that is enough to cause someone to get all excited that they fill out the form and then join that opportunity.

After all, aren't most of us wired that way? Typically, we all want self-gratification and want to get paid what we feel we are worth.

However, after spending hours upon hours learning a new system (with our new business opportunity), we become confused and stop moving forward. We give up! We weren't looking to work more hours then our current job, but rather, work less and get paid more. It's easy to see why it can become confusing, and why someone would give up and stop moving forward?

This is the problem with many of the work from home business opportunities that you find online. They promise you lots of money with little or no work, but in all actuality, you wind up working more hours and getting paid less per hour than your current job. But, that's NOT what they promised, right? Exactly! That's were the confusion comes in, and why people get frustrated and that's were being properly educated, on what it takes to work at home, comes into play.

Education has been programmed into our heads ever since our first day of school. Our parents told us to pay attention in school, and to get good grades. As we got older we were told to get a great education so we could get a great job, but as we got older and got out of school, a lot of us wound up working in a field that we dislike. So we start looking elsewhere for that self-gratification that is supposed to come from our work.

With that said, if you're looking to work from home, it's important to get educated, to learn the ropes from someone that has been there, or is currently in that situation. Learn what it takes to become successful. Learn from someone that speaks the truth, not someone that will tell you what you want to hear. If someone claims to be an expert, ask them for their credentials, or do a search on Google, Yahoo! or Bing. If you can't find any information about them, they are probably NOT who they say they are. In that case, you should move on!

A work at home business is no different than a real job. You need to be educated. You need to know what the position requires. You need to get into classes or training, or read books or search the Internet. Learn what it takes to work at home before quitting your job. If you expect to get paid what your worth, get educated. Don't let days, months, years, and even decades go by with a lot more of the same "wandering generality" mentality. If you're in a state of confusion, about what it takes to work at home, learn so you can make an educated decision.
