We broke the rules - finally a business without the hassles!

Weekends are always great aren't they!! You work hard all week long promoting your business, then come Saturday night, you have that good excuse to switch off and go have a meal with friends - a nice reward for all your hard earned efforts!

Sundays ..... well if I'm not at the local pool or gym, I'll use it as an unofficial work day, a bit like today. It's really great as you get to have that quality time to yourself, the family has gone out, and you can relax and get a few things finished, with a nice glass of wine.

I guess the reason you stopped by my page today was to take more of a look at who I am and what I promote here on the net. My name is Mandy and I have been marketing my own internet business for just on 2 years now. I thoroughly enjoy it and get to combine both a working and social life. When the weather's good, I've even been known to take my laptop to the park across the road from my apartment, and work there for a few hours.

Prior to internet marketing, I worked at a large hospital in London. It was an excessively busy role within an extremely fast paced environment. My role was working for 3 general managers, line managing staff and generally looking after patient welfare. No two days were ever the same, and I would arrive at my office some mornings, not knowing what demands or competing priorities lay ahead. Often, working until late, especially if I had to attend an after hours meeting, I would not arrive home until gone 7 or 8pm.

Nowadays, I've gotten rid of the 2 hour daily commute, both into and back out of London, and let's face it, we've all been there and can totally do without that :) Working for myself means that I no longer have to put in exhaustive and long hours and try to climb the corporate ladder, just to earn myself a half decent monthly salary.

Working for yourself is really amazing, because everything you do is a result of your own efforts, you make every minute count, and it's a pleasure to do, especially when you know that you're not spending each and every day making someone else richer - while you remain financially 'static' - right? By this, I'm not saying that working for yourself is a drop in the ocean or a walk in the park, as you still need to work reasonably hard, be prepared to learn and be disciplined enough to put in a certain amount of hours per day. However, the financial rewards gained from this are far sweeter, and you get great job satisfaction.

I find that some days when I've worked really hard and completed a good morning's work, I'll take myself off for a swim at the local pool, to relax and unwind, without needing to compete against rush hour traffic. It's all about setting your own goals, priorities and deadlines at a pace that suits you, which you cannot do in a corporate environment, where there is always some impatient Director breathing down your neck, when you have about 101 other things to do.

What's stopping you from achieving your goals, working for a top internet company to explode an immediate residual income, that you couldn't stop .... even if you wanted to.

Warmly, Mandy
