I just got home from dropping my son off at his mothers. We had a great day today; I love it when my son get’s to come to church with me. I did get some bad news today while I was at church. A very good friend of mine, Rick, pulled me aside and told me that two weeks ago he was fired from his job. My heart just sank.
Rick is one of those guys that gets along with everyone. He is the good friend and the go to guy for many people here in Gainesville Georgia. He grew up here and has lived here all of his life. A little over two years ago, he moved to Alabama for a management position with his company. After a little over a year, he was able to transfer back to this area for a management position locally.
I know Rick, and that year was probably one of the hardest year of his life. The sacrifice that he made personally was great. Not only did he move away from everything he knew, all his family, and his friends, he really disliked the job that he had to do in Alabama. Even being back here, the job was not the best, but it paid well by his standards, he was back here in Georgia, and the biggest benefit for him was that he was finally able to afford to have his wife stay home from having to work outside the home. This has been a dream of his for a long time.
Now in just less than a year after coming back, he was fired on a technicality (he turned in an accident report a day late). He said that he had already found another job making deliveries for a uniform supply company. Now his is only making a little over $9.00 per hour. No shock here, his wife has had to go back to work too. He is taking all of this in stride, he say’s this will help him get by for now, until he can find something better.
Why do I tell you about this? The reason is because of situations like this one, I have been trying to develop a business plan that I could step by step walk anyone through and teach them how to work from home and make a full time living.
The reason I have started to include my computer back ground, is because I have learned from talking with many of you that sometimes, it is simply the technology that gets in the way of you being able to even start to build a business online from home. I am going to make my next five or so ezines dedicated to what I would have my good friend Rick do it he came to me and said, “Ok, Dan, I am ready to give it a try, how do I start to make money from home with my computer?”
Here we go!!! Let me start by saying that in my opinion, having a list is the single most important place to start. As you build a list of people who are willing to hear from you and maybe even do business with you: you have a foundation in which to build, measure progress, and make improvements from. I will explain this further over the next couple of days. This foundation will help most of you understand better why I started this ezine with the “400 day pre-written autoresponder” made available for free from Stone Evans. I want to make it as easy as possible for you to start your home based business, but start it right.
