Working from home is not stress-free. There are still challenges. But deciding to do it was the best career change I've made in my life. Because the advantages of working from home are more significant than the downside. Here are 7 pros of working from home that I've discovered. 7 Pros of Working from Home with Tips 1. No dress code You still need to look decent when you have a video call. You can dress up if you want to, but that's the advantage of working from home. No one will judge you even when you're in your sweats or pajamas all day.Let's face it, not having to wear a bra also feels more freeing. 👀 As long as you deliver your work, your clients won't ask whether you've showered or not. (Though I do shower to wake myself up. Just thought I'd let you know before you presume I work like this 👇) Gfycat When working from home, you can wear anything comfortable without worrying about breaking any rules. Because you make the rules. 💡 WORKING FROM HOME TIP: Invest in a good blazer or a presentable top/shirt that you can wear during an interview or conference call. Giphy 2. Commute or drive to work no more The distance between your workplace and your bed is just a few steps away. Some even have their bed and their home office in the same room. No more hassle of waiting for the bus or cab. No more long lines and fighting your way in the crowd so you won't miss the train. No more danger of getting robbed on your way to and from work.You don't have to worry about arriving or coming home late because you're stuck in traffic. Most importantly, no need to brave the weather just to get to work for fear of being reprimanded by your waterproof boss. Call Center Life 💡 WORKING FROM HOME TIPS: Don't work as much as possible in your bedroom, especially on your bed. This will help you stay productive and avoid the temptation of taking a nap during your working hours. It also conditions your mind that your bedroom is for relaxing and sleeping. So when you step inside the bedroom, your mind knows it is time to take a snooze.Keep your home secured at all times. It may be safer to work from home, but it doesn't mean you have to be lenient regarding security.Don't forget to invest in security, such as antivirus software to protect your computer work from hackers and a sound home security uk alarm system to protect you from thieves. This will give you peace of mind whether you're working at home or taking a break.It's hard to focus on both if your home safety is in question, right?How is your daily commute to work? Share your craziest story in the comments.Disclaimer: I wrote this post pre-p a n d e m i c 2018 and edited 2019. Please don't get offended by this gif. Giphy 3. No office politics or challenging people to deal with Don't we all have that annoying person at work we dread seeing? Have you not put on your headphones and blasted music in your ears to block the noise of nonsense gossip around you? And does it not irritate you when someone who works less gets recognized more just because they're drinking buddies with the boss? Is your boss a toddler trapped in an adult's body, throwing tantrums when things don't go his way? How many times have you faked a smile or tried to look calm even when you feel like throwing a fit yourself? Sarcasmlol When you work from home, you eliminate this kind of toxicity in your life. Giphy ⭐ LIFE TIP: If it costs you your peace, it's too expensive.Unsubscribe from other people's drama. Some people are not worth your time and emotion. 4. Choose your view Whether you want to work in front of your window, in the kitchen, or anywhere in your house, you can. Bring your work outside or in the coffee shop for a change (that aroma of freshly baked bread and coffee is a good stimulus). Giphy Or better yet... 5. Travel with your work You can bring your work wherever you go as long as it's convenient and you know you can still be productive. If there's a good internet connection and electricity, you're good to go. New place, fresh ideas. 💡 WORKING FROM HOME TIP: If you need to bring your work on your trip, set aside a day and time for work. You don't want to ruin a beautiful holiday. I don't advise bringing your work when you travel for leisure. Not only will it add to your luggage, but it also beats the purpose of vacation. Pinterest 6. More time for yourself You can finish your work either at the time agreed with your client or whenever you want, depending on your arrangement. Since you don't have to take the time to commute from home to the office and vice versa, and no colleague is inviting you to unwind after a stressful day at work, you have a lot of extra time in your hands. If you want to keep your day productive after working, you can run errands, clean your working area, organize your files, update your blog if you have one, watch a tutorial or inspiring speech or learn from other people in the same field. Or relax. Sleep. You need it. Catch up on your reading. Take a walk. Meditate. Work out. Serve the community. Get a massage. Find a new hobby.If you like to earn more, you can use your extra time to look for another client or work on some extra gig. You are the king/queen of your time. You do you. Giphy 7. More time with what matters most When you're staying home, you get to see the people or the reasons why you're working. You have the luxury of spending quality time with your loved ones. Go on a date with your partner. Meet a friend. Spend more time with your pets. One of our dogs sleeping ON my foot while I'm working. Had to capture that precious moment in-between editing. Clingy dog #1 Clingy dog #2 UPDATE: Now that I'm married, I spend more time with my husband. He accompanies me when I need to work outside due to inevitable instances like a power outage. That's an unplanned and productive date right there. You can't have it all. Like everything else in life, nothing is perfect. There are still challenges with working from home. 💡 WORKING FROM HOME TIP: Google and YouTube tutorials are your friends. When I first started, no one in my circle doing freelancing. But because I was determined to make the shift, I researched it. I attended seminars. As they say, if you want something wrong enough, you find a way, not an excuse. Join a fantastic group of freelancers. Here's one I highly recommend 👉 The Freelance Movement Workshop. This is where I learned freelancing hacks. I wish I knew when I was starting. Once you've found your rhythm, you keep learning and improving your skills, and you don't forget your BIG WHY. You will find that the pros of this work far outweigh the cons. Question for you: If you're already working online, what are your struggles? What do you think are the pros of working from home? If you're not yet making this incredible career, would you like to know how?This post contains affiliate links, so I'd get a commission if you purchase through my links at no additional cost to you.

Lux Thinking Aloud How To Be Truly Rich And Why You Should Be 9:13 PM We lived comfortably. My father was a good provider, but I've never heard my parents talk about money. So, it never occurred to me that I could, and it's okay to want to be truly rich. How to be truly rich, and why should you be? I have always been content with how my life is going. My basic needs are met. I've traveled to beautiful places. I can afford to watch a movie. I'm not deprived of good food and gadgets. What more can I ask for? Why would I aspire to be more prosperous when I have what I need and even have extra to enjoy a little luxury here and there? "I." How small were my dreams, and how selfish was I? All I thought about was myself. The older I got, the stronger my compassion for others grew.The more I see how the world really is, the more I want to help change it. When I started listening to Bro Bo Sanchez's preaching years ago, I realized that being rich is not evil, selfish, or greedy IF your ultimate goal is to help others. I want to save as many stray animals as possible and give them a better life. Gifer I want to help build communities that provide a livelihood for the poorest of the poor. I want not only to continue helping charities but to increase the assistance I provide. I want organizations to continue their marvelous works of saving the planet by sponsoring them. Yes, it starts with "I," but now it's about others. How can I do all these things if I only have "just enough" for myself? The change I wish to see in the world will not come to pass unless I change myself, step out of my comfort zone and do something about it. Instead of turning a blind eye to the problems I see that bother me (like animal cruelty and extreme poverty), I decided to find a way to help. And here's a way I've found: growing and changing not only to be rich but be truly rich.Be wise enough to choose the best-performing stocks and shares. Because just because you're investing your money doesn't give you the guarantee that it will grow. So be wise in picking the ones that will increase through time. What does it mean to be truly rich? It means I'm not only growing my money, but I'm also nourishing my soul and taking care of my health. To be truly rich is not just about superficial worldly success. It is becoming a whole person, enriching all areas of your life, not just your wallet. Money is not the root of all evil, but the love of money is. So it is essential to increase my finances and become a more godly person in the process. I wish I had started early. How I wish I knew better when I was younger. When I started working, my colleagues were excited to apply for a loan and convinced me that I should too. Because of the reports, someone else will if you don't use your money. A sad truth about our government. Little did I know that I would be paying for the consequences of that "small" loan big time in the future. I wish schools taught us about handling finances wisely as early as they taught us how to count. But they don't. Maybe it's a conspiracy theory among the richest of the rich. We'll never know. 🤷 But here's what I know: It's never too late to start investing. I started in my late 20's. But, of course, some people began way later. If you ask me when to start, I'll say today is the best day to begin investing. I have a love and hate relationship with Math. Okay, maybe more hate. But I know numbers will always be a part of life wherever I go. Since numbers bore me and analyzing the stock market will surely give me headaches, I turn to people who know me better for help. So I signed up for the Truly Rich Club. I never regretted it. 13 Amazing Benefits of the Truly Rich Club 1. Soul Food You'll receive a monthly Power Talk in mp3 form.

And Why You Should Too is Bro Bo's book about how he taught his house helps and drivers to invest in the stock market. The eBook version is one of the freebies you will receive when you sign up. 11. Monthly stock update As I've said, I don't like numbers. So I know I'll lose more than gain if I handle my stocks myself. That's why it helps a LOT to receive monthly stock updates from the experts in TRC. And it's absolutely FREE. 12. Php 100,000 Life Insurance Nothing is sure in this world. Accidents could happen.

"Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world." Those are words from the genius Albert Einstein. He said, "He who understands it earns it; he who doesn't pay it." Entrepreneur Jim Rohn said, "You must get good at one of two things. Planting in the spring or begging in the fall." One of my fears is that I would end up begging in the fall simply because I didn't try harder. In the Internet era, we have no excuse not to learn or not to try. Everything we need to know is on the internet. Gurus and mentors have videos and blogs with powerful content for us to gobble. I got sick of giving myself excuses: I have no time. I don't know how to do it. It's not for me. I don't have enough to start. To be truly rich is for all of us. We can learn and have the time if only we say yes to this opportunity. I am not a millionaire yet, but that is the goal. And I'm not ashamed to declare that because my goal is not to buy the most expensive car or live in a mansion (although if that's your dream, go for it). My goal is to enjoy this life by doing what I love, which is traveling, and most importantly, to help make this world better. Tenor I wish to leave this world better than I found it. I hope to give to those who are in need. But I can't give what I don't have. That's why I aspire to be truly rich. How about you? What is your biggest dream, and how do you work on it?

How-To How To Start A Lifestyle Blog: 7 Simple Steps To Follow 10:49 PM Online influencers and bloggers don't only have the trendiest and coolest job today. They also are financially and emotionally rewarded. How many lifestyle bloggers do you know are living your dream life? They travel, experience, and do what they love. How to start a lifestyle blog? That is the million-dollar question. Where do you begin? As a lifestyle blogger, I've gathered some simple and practical tips for building your own little kingdom on the internet. But first...What is a lifestyle blog? A lifestyle blog is where you, the Blogger, share your life with your readers, interests, activities, and thoughts. It's that simple. How to Start a Lifestyle Blog: 7 Simple Steps to Follow 1. Find Your Niche Before you even create an account, think about what your niche will be. Your niche is that one topic your blog will be centered on. Most people have numerous interests, so their blog niche is wide and varied. This is okay as long as you know how to categorize and can talk about each regularly. For beginners, the advice would be to stick to a specific topic first. To find your niche, ask yourself these questions: What is your primary interest? What do you love to do? What are you most knowledgeable about? Knowing and having your own niche is essential in blogging because: Your place will attract your target audience. You will be considered an expert on this topic. If you haven't established a following yet, stick to one topic to avoid confusing your readers. A confused reader will unlikely return. 2. Choose a platform The experts would advise choosing WordPress to make your blog look more professional. I have started with Blogger (while it was still Blogspot), and so far, no regrets. For me, it is easier to navigate. Numerous layouts now are either free or paid for that suit your taste and style. I've seen a lot of successful lifestyle bloggers that use Blogger and WordPress. Do your research and find out which one works for you. 3. Get a domain name In deciding what to name your blog, remember to... Choose a catchy name, so it's easy to remember. Keep it simple. Make your domain name reflect your blog's niche so people would know what to expect. This also helps in keyword searching. For example, people who want to read about traveling to Southeast Asia will unlikely use the keyword "constellation" in the search bar.You can buy a domain name to make your blog look more legit and professional. It is a small but essential investment.It is tempting to use your name as a domain name, but experts suggest against it. Especially if you're not a celebrity. Some use their names, and it works just fine. Just put in the work of increasing the traffic to your blog. 4. Get your own URL Nothing says professional, official, and authentic than having your own .com. There are many hosting services to choose from now. Do your own research (yes, research is a big part of blogging). Which one is best for you as most of these services offer promos and discounts. They can also offer other services like customized email addresses and plugins. 5. Design your page Your page is your online home or presence, so to speak. It is like welcoming visitors into your sanctuary and offering them what you know and have. Design your page to reflect your personality and niche. Then, make it show your signature. You'll be spending most of your time on your blog, so you might as well create one you'll always be happy to visit. Important:Make sure your website is not only pleasing to you but that it also appeals to readers. Some font colors are too painful and strenuous to the eyes. Some background music or designs are too distracting. Your reader's experience is essential. When they find it hard to focus on the content, they leave, and most of the time, they never return. 6. Research It's never-ending research. Be diligent in finding answers and tips online to help you with your content. Research also helps you find solutions when you encounter technical issues. The world is bursting with fake news nowadays. Do your own research before publishing something to double-check the authenticity or credibility of the topic.Be someone your readers can trust. 7. Write great content Content is still king.No matter how appealing your domain name is...Even if you have the most impressive web design...No one will want to follow your blog if you write like a robot. Write engaging, informative, inspiring, funny, or stirring content. Proofread. Double chekc speling. (See what I did there?)Give people a reason to hit that Share button, leave a comment and recommend your blog to their friends.Most importantly (and I strongly suggest), write honestly and from the heart.Write for people and not for SEO ranking.When you do what you love and love what you do, you hit the sweet spot between profit and passion. That is your purpose.Keep these tips in mind, and don't forget to always bring your patience, perseverance, and positive attitude. Because successful blogging is not just about posting a photo or a frivolous hobby. It involves a lot of hard work.If you believe blogging is your purpose, today's the best time to start a lifestyle blog.
