It would just be the same thing, in a different place! Another thing that bothered me was my job security.

I kept my full-time office job while I got my first few clients.

I set about learning everything I could about this business in my spare time.

I also didn't like having just 2 weeks holiday a year.

However, like most of us, I had a mortgage and bills to pay.

Today, I provide lots of different services from home as a Virtual Assistant and earn a full-time income working part-time hours.

I started out by offering transcription services (for those of you who are not familiar with transcription, it's simply typing words from an audio file into a document).

I was under no illusion that my job was safe.

I Read A Newspaper Article About Transcription Work From Home One day I happened to pick up a newspaper and spotted an article about people working from home providing secretarial services online.

To cut a long story short, after much trial and error I figured out how to set myself up to work at home.

I just wanted more freedom in my life, more control over when to take holidays, when to take days off, when to actually do my work.

It's no wonder that the word 'JOB' stands for 'Just Over Broke'.

There s absolutely no need to provide lots of different services in order to....

After a while I went part-time, working outside the home 3 days a week.

I could have been made redundant at any time with no other income to fall back on.

I immediately realised that this was the solution I had been hoping for.

I also knew that getting a new job wouldn't solve the problem.

My boss was nice enough but I didn't like being told what to do and when to do it.

When I had enough transcription work online, I was able to quit my office job and work from home full-time.

I couldn't just quit my job and opt out of the rat race.

It's not as if I didn't like work itself.
