I receive a lot of questions about the approach I take or system I use for stay at home employment. Even there are many methods I use, they all have to come from inside myself. The principles of honesty, willingness, courage, and self discipline are what I use as my guide.

Honesty - Honesty plays a big part. Can you honestly do this? This is not really a simple yes or no answer. This is a decision where you can't afford to be rash; working at home is a big step. "Look at the big picture" using different angles and scenarios. You will know deep down that you have came up with an honest answer if you do these things.

Willingness - Willingness is the next thing needed after you make an honest decision about stay at home employment. Willingness is fundamental for anything you do. Getting out of the bed requires you to be willing. Willingness leads to action. Laziness can be a road block to action. When I become willing and start to take action, the action takes care of my laziness. If you don't become willing and take action, then stay at home employment will not work for you.

Courage - Human beings are creatures of habit. What is the first thing you do when you get out of bed? There is a big chance it's the same thing. Stepping away from the crowd requires courage. We have spent most of our professional lives working for someone else. You can be who you want to be with stay at home employment. If you look at any person that has ever made history, courage has played a big part.

Self-Discipline - Self-discipline is probably the most important principle for stay at home employment. Remember, you aren't working for someone else anymore. Set your tasks and goals and meet them. Self-discipline comes over time, it doesn't just happen. People who participate in marathons train several weeks before running 26 miles. Through self-discipline they reach their goals. You have to work to reach your goals if you are going to be successful with stay at home employment.

These principles can stand alone, but they work better used together. Do you see to be honest, I have to be willing? That self-discipline begins with courage? I have an experiment for you: Get a sheet of paper, list the principles and what they mean to you. Notice I said write. Having something on paper will enable you to see what the basics of stay at home employment really mean to you.
