Your Home Business Career
Naturally, any home business career includes work. There is more to work, though, than just what you do. So, I started a Home Business Career blog to share my ideas on this subject.
Obviously, the first place to start is to figure out exactly what "work" is. Checking the dictionary I discovered the following synonyms:
* chore
* daily grind
* donkeywork
* drudge
* drudgery
* elbow grease
* grind
* grindstone
* moil
* muscle
* obligation
* pains
* rat race
* salt mines
* scutwork
* servitude
* slavery
* slogging
* stress
* striving
* struggle
* sweat
* toil
* travail
* trial
* trouble
"Holy Hannah, Batman!" That's a pretty negative set of words. No wonder 'work' has such a bad rep. I would like to propose an alternate definition from my mentor Tim Gallwey, author of the Inner Game Of Work. Tim suggests that work has three components:
1. Achievement
2. Learning
3. Fun
In our society, we're focused almost exclusively on #1, getting things done. Learning comes in a grudging second, only because it's necessary to achieve #1. And as for fun ...
Yet, for some of us, enjoying what we do has a high priority. In fact, that was the entire motivation behind my personal decision to become an entrepreneur. That is, what I was doing didn't resonate with me anymore.
I have lots more ideas on this subject, so if you'd like to comment, feel free.
