All it takes, literally, is a simple call to action. And for me this means making a simple change so that I am making my life easier. I am no longer a slave to the time, effort and money involved in creating a living. My life is now more simple, and I am beginning to create my own reality instead of following a formula.
I’m not sure if I’ve ever said that to a client before, but this is exactly what I’m talking about. Yes, I’ve known clients who have a business or personal life that are so busy that they don’t have time to spend with their families, or friends, etc. If this sounds like you, then I would recommend that you make a change in your lifestyle. It’s easy.
In my opinion, there is nothing simpler than making money. It’s always good to have a job, but there are times when you need to have a money-making venture of your own. This can be as simple as making a few thousand dollars a month by working a few hours a week. However, I would say that there are certain times when you need to create a living. It’s not perfect, but for a small business or personal life, time is money.
Most people like to work from home. That makes sense why. However, we need to understand that the reason why most people like to work from home is because their work is done. And while you may have an office space that you need to work from, you most likely don’t need to work from it. You can go to a coffee shop, order your coffee, and go about your day.
If you are like most people, you will probably hate that idea. But do you know what I mean? You probably spend more time at your desk than you do at home. You probably spend more time doing something that you hate than you do something that you love.
Yes, that is exactly what most people do. I am not suggesting that you should work from a computer or not work from your home. I am suggesting that you can be an “office worker” and still do everything you need to do from your home. You just need to get rid of the “office space” part.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been in a meeting and felt like I couldn’t leave the room because I wasn’t able to see the person I was trying to converse with. I feel like I’ve always been a good listener and I would argue that I am able to communicate and converse with people I enjoy talking to. That is why I hate this idea.
You might be thinking “well this is just my opinion.” But I have a few other, more solid reasons why you should not be an office worker. I’ll list a few here, but I would recommend you read more about them elsewhere.
The first reason is that you are probably a bit of a control freak. You have a lot of anxiety in your life and this is one of the ways you try to keep it in check. I myself suffer from extreme anxiety and often feel like I have to work really hard to calm down. I know this sounds like an excuse, but it’s a self-reinforcing loop where I have to work harder not to worry.
People who are anxious do not tend to work as hard as people who are not anxious. The reason is that they are not being driven by a need to get things done. They are not driven by a need to impress people or be popular. They are driven by a need to be their best. You are probably not a control freak, but for some people you are. Some people have this self-consciousness about being anxious that they cannot be themselves.
