Work At Home Jobs & No Regrets

“Whatever you do, or dream you can, begin it.
Boldness has genius and power and magic in it.”

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
1749-1832

Twenty years ago I had a very regular job. You know the kind. Get to work at 7:45, break at 10:15, 45 minutes for lunch at 12:00, another break at 2:15 and off at 4:30. I had all the “stuff” that comes with a regular job but I was missing that ‘satisfaction” part. I wanted to create my own life, make my own way, work when and how I wanted, and be my own boss.

So I left. Twenty years later I have no regrets. Sure, the self-employment thing hasn’t always been easy. There have been ups and there have been downs. I’ve lived through abundant times and I’ve lived through lean times.

But I still have no regrets.

Right before I left my “traditional job” I was talking to an older gentleman that worked with me. He was getting close to retirement age and he had worked there for I’m guessing 30 years or more. He told me that he envied me that I was leaving and going out on my own. He said that he wished he would have dared do that when he was younger. He said that he regretted never trying to do the things that he had thought of doing and now he felt like he was “too old”. His story touched me.

I knew that I would rather try and fail than never try at all.

If you try and fail you can always try again (and again and again if necessary) but if you never try at all you may look back with regrets and say …..

“I wish I would have….”
“I wish I could have…”

One thing I’ve learned in life is that it is never the things that you try to do that you regret, even if you fail but rather the things that you regret are the things you never try at all.

You have a perfect opportunity right now to make your own way (and a ton of money, too) on the Internet.

Do you dare try?
