It聮s a difficult ride if you want to work from home and yet, the most important people in your life are against the work at home concept. It聮s a dream to you but it can be a nightmare for people who care for you. The whole idea of not having a stable income makes them worry about you, so, don聮t blame them. For all you know, you聮re terribly confident that your plan will work and you know you can commit to your new work at home business聟you know that but THEY don聮t.
The first step you will need to take to help your family members accept your work at home decision is to understand how they feel. I know, I know, this is a time when you want others to understand you and accept your decision. You聮re tired of working for someone else and want to have the freedom of spending time with your family and friends, instead of lounging around in the office day in and day out. And here I am, telling you that you should understand the very people who are opposing you?
This is not a secret but think of it like some kind of a psychological plan. ever heard of the term 聭reverse psychology聮? Ok, you聮re required to use this and let me tell you this聟it works like a charm! If you do this right, you will convince your family members that working at home is the best option for you.
Say things like, 聭I know you care for me, love me and want what is best for me聟.聮, 聭I understand what you聮re saying聟聮, or 聭You聮re absolutely right in saying that, I can聮t say you聮re wrong聮. When you聮re talking to them in a non-attack way, they will back down and bring down their fences. This is an amazing way to help your family members accept your work-at-home decision. It聮s true, my own family members were not to keen on me wasting my law degree to start a work at home business either 聳 to them, I am wasting my degree, wasting my talents and wasting my energy. And they don聮t want to see me suffer, be disappointed and face financial problems. Being parents, they want what is best for me and in their eyes, working at home is NOT the best moneymaking opportunity. Over the years, I have finally opened my parents聮 eyes to the working at home concept. They finally accepted it that I communicate with clients from all over the world and that I am being paid for the work that I do and that my income is comfortable.
As for the spouse, this is a little bit trickier. You see, in 2-income families, if one person wants to start working from home, the other spouse would have to be prepared to give up more of his or her income to cover for the stuff that is supposed to be covered by the now-working-at-home spouse. At least during the first few months of the business, that is. I mean, for 3 to 6 months after working from home, you聮ll have to expect to dig into your savings or the spouse would have to cover for expenses, so, naturally, he or she would be a little bit disgruntled with the fact. They聮re not being selfish 聳 they聮re trying to deal with you breaking out of the comfort zone. Everyone, including you, hates that. So, don聮t expect your spouse to welcome the idea of working from home with wide open arms. There聮s bound to be some skepticism.
And skepticism from your loved ones is good too because it will keep you on your toes and you聮re feet remains firmly planted on the ground. So, the best thing to do with your spouse is to discuss the idea with him or her, sit down and plan the finances. For example, dig into your savings to cover for contribution to expenses, working part-time, telecommuting, cut down on expenses, selling the extra car, remortgaging, etc. Find a way and a plan to ease the discomfort for your spouse. Make sure he or she has nothing to complain about your working at home decision. It聮s incredibly difficult to accept, trust me, if you聮re not the one who wants to work from home. If you聮re on the other side of the fence, everything looks so bleak and uncertain.
Break through their barrier not with force, but with gentle compromising and understanding. Then, you聮ll get their full support for your work at home business.
English is the most preferred language when it comes to the corporate world. No matter where you are working, which clients you are dealing with, the major way of communicating is through English. Whether it is a written document or a Skype call, the mode of language is English. And if you don鈥檛 know how to communicate well in English or your spoken skills are questionable, the chances of getting your desired job become weak. For all those who are already working, if they do not master their English spoken skills, their promotion gets delayed and they are made fun off at the place of work.
Do you have plans of going abroad to apply for a job? If yes, then you have to master this language. There is no alternative to it.
