Spending So Many Hours Working, Having A Role You Like Is A Real Bonus
Thursday, March 4th, 2010 | Jobs and Careers
There are 168 hours in a week. If we spend the anticipated 8 hours per night fast asleep, that is fifty six hours we lose, leaving 112 hours awake. For everybody who has a full time career, about half of this time will be consumed every week getting ready to go to work, commuting to work or essentially being at work. It is straightforward to appreciate, therefore, how having a career you love will enhance your life.
I am privileged to have a career I love, with the added advantange that I Work From Home, so do not suffer the daily journey to work. I work in the Internet Business, doing Online Jobs which involve working in an environment I love but keeping up with technology. This is important in order to undertake my work effectively. If I did not keep up with up to date technology I would not be able to give my customers the best possible instructions on how to improve their internet sites in order to get higher search engine placement, thus assisting them to get more business.
Although I Work From Home, I do need to do investigations for my business, so am still chatting with other folk as I need to gain a fully rounded sense of the businesses my possible customers are involved in. The Internet Business I am involved in gives me the added benefit of chatting with folk who work in many different industries, so every day is different and I get insight into many roles which in the normal working way I would not be concerned with.
One day I could be discussing Online Jobs with a new Internet Business and then the following day discussing with somebody who knows nothing about the internet or online marketing, but understands the need to have a internet site in place to market their company.
Being enthusiastic about my work comes over in my discussions with clients and potential clients and they acquire confidence that I will do a good job for them because I like my work. If I did not have this enthusiasm for my work, then I would not be as successful, as folk can soon pick up on the fact that you do not really believe in your job if this is the case.
Because I love my career so much, I often find that I work much more than the usual 40 hours which full time work reflects. I am often found on my laptop, looking at new ideas, looking for new ways of helping to increase my business, writing articles and reports in relation to my business. When I am out and about, I will also be looking for subjects which could help me to improve my business or give me insight into an area on a subject where I was a little light in experience.
If I did not have such enthusiasm for my business, I would not be spending so many hours improving my Internet Business, I would more than likely do the minimum expected to get the necessary results, but would not be giving my clients the value add which having confidence in my work and my ability give me.
