Why Being Honest About A Working From Home Can Cost You More Than Your Business!!

My situation is that I was out of work back in May of this year. I was working for a recruitment company at the time and no I’m not going to claim that I was hugely successful from it so therefore stepping into this work at home business was a piece of cake. In fact, I was barely making ends meat, but had always wanted to try it as I had friends in it and I had seen how successful you can be from it.

So after I was given the boot I started to look for what I knew I was best at, which was more an events/operational role where I wasn’t being forced to make at least 80 calls a day or other over the top targets. I had been in such a position before hand and knew it was more suited to my character. The problem started happening when, as it has for so many other people, there was a distinct lack of jobs, well certainly jobs that would take me on.

What I was tending to find was the type of roles that I was looking for were looking for someone with more experience and some even said that as I had been out of this sector for about a year then my experience wasn’t up to date. Well I wasn’t going to go back to cold calling again and was hitting a brick wall with my latest quests so I decided to turn my attention elsewhere.

I had earlier on in the year tried some money making schemes, one of them being the roulette one where you have a sequence to follow and only put down $1 a time to then make yourself hundreds by the end of the day. Not a sausage from that, zilch . This time I looked into more working at home rather than quick rich schemes. Oh my god, I could not believe how many there were out there, how many re-hash the same stuff and are blatantly rubbish .

The company I went for is one that was started out in America last year but has grown significantly over in the UK, and this had a large part to do with my decision in the end. I wanted to be part of a company that I could go see someone instead of trying over the phone or by email and someone who has the same sense of humour as myself.
So after about 6 weeks of calling and emailing what was to turn out to be my mentor I decided to take the plunge. The problem that I then had was I needed to somehow tell my girlfriend who I’d been with for just over two years.

I took the easy way out and instead had ideas of glory where she would be praising me or at least be happy with me that I had started such a business and made it such a success. I had great visions of a couple of months along she could leave her job and go off and finish a course she wanted to do or just take time out and visit her family and friends.

What did happen was what they call ‘justice’. I have had very little traffic to my website and deals have been slow and since I told her about this little venture on the side she has (quite rightly so) called an end to our relationship. It is true that I was looking at other work throughout the day but I was also attending my website, and this web of lies (although not malicious) was what the final straw was.

I do not write this article to gain more traffic or hits but to warn others that if you are to enter into a work from home business then do so with the utmost honesty as it will bite you harshly if you don’t.

The irony in this situation is that if I had asked her, yes she would have disapproved but she also wouldn’t have tried to stop me and once I had begun she would have been more than willing to help, despite thinking it was a massive waste of time.

Get realistic ideas in the sphere of free traffic – this is your individual knowledge base.
