Whimsy 365: Day 38

Happy Monday!!! How do you feel about Monday? Do you fly out of bed with excitement to get to work and see what the amazing day holds? Do you get up, workout and get your day started early because you have many great things planned for your business? OR do you hit the snooze a few times, cover your head and wish more than anything you could do something else with your day rather than going into the office?

I can tell you I’ve lived both. I use to dread Mondays. Matter of fact, half way through Sunday, I’d start on the downward spiral because the weekend was almost over.

I decided I didn’t want to live my life that way so I did something about it! I started my own business selling my art and working from home! I am excited about Monday mornings. I look forward to working in my studio creating art, online tutorials, punchneedle and cross stitch patterns, etc. I am in control of my day, my future and my income. I love what I do and that’s all the inspiration I need.

Now…let me tell you a secret….you don’t have to be an artist to start your own business and work from home. Especially today, you can use the internet to create online courses, webinars, info products or just simply blogging. And for you creative types, you can make handmade items and sell online through Etsy, Amazon, Ebay and many more sites.

If you are unhappy in your job, make a change. Work a few extra hours a day creating your new business until you are ready to quit your day job and work your business full-time. Life is too short to spend the majority of your day in a job you don’t like. There is a ton of online sources to help you get started in your home-based online business.
