JenerationS thinks a lot about how to get out of her job and this office.

Untitled 2 weeks ago

I got laid off two months ago, and I’m starting to get into the habit of looking for freelance jobs on craigslist everyday, and making some sort of art everyday so I can put together a portfolio and make this working from home thing happen.



working from home 3 months ago

like anything else, it has it’s pros & cons.. overall, more pros. I can’t even imagine going back to being in an office for 8 hrs. everyday.

A long, long time ago 4 months ago

...I had American Pie stuck in my head for that…so you can now sit there and imagine Don Mclean singing about the day the music died :)

Anyway, point, a long, long time ago…oh, about 6 years ago I had this plan to move to a bigger city and take massage therapy lessons in order to jump into a personal career giving massages and incorporating an emotional/counseling flair to it. I never got the chance to do that. When I arrived in the bigger city, I had to find a job so I would have a place to live, and scheduling just never worked out. I’ve been meaning to go back to school, and all of the business stuff I can do through work just doesn’t seem right. I also want to be a life coach…maybe I need to contact my current student loan providers and see what, if anything, can be worked out so I can get my masters in counseling, which would include my life coach certificate, as well as a massage therapy license…which in turn would help me lose weight with all of the exercise it would take to stay in proper form for it.

I think that might be a good route to go, however, getting out of debit would be little more difficult if I did all that :)

Work from home? 4 months ago

What I love about an Internet based business, is I can work on it whereever I am (that has computer access). I don’t have a laptop…yet, but when I do, watch out. I’ll have plenty to do off-line with it because I don’t trust a lot of the ID theft and hacking that goes on with Wi-Fi, but still, to sit around Starbucks and get work done sounds pretty good too me.

Today, I was doing work from work, lol. I took part of my lunch break to get some emails sent out and organized. What fun :)

Placed our first order!! 4 months ago

The first order is placed. Now I just have to wait for it to arrive and post it on the net for the world to buy. Okay, I know it won’t be that easy, but I’m hoping someone buys our stuff :)

If I have time this week I’ll start creating some good product descriptions, then it won’t take me quite so long to get them up and running when they do arrive.

Bank stuff....check 4 months ago

Okay, we have gotten all of our bank documents, now we just need to place our first wholesale order (which will be really small) and off we go :)

Another route 4 months ago

While we’re working on our reseller business, I still have another route to take for working from home.

I need to contact Bellevue University, but they thought they could finagle a Masters degree to include the 3 classes I would need to become certified as a life coach, and still have my job pay for it. If I could do that, then I could become a life coach and work from home, or at least get some consulting experience and become a consultant…which would be more enjoyable than what I’m currently doing…on a production floor…blah.

Anyone have any suggestions on how much I could charge for being a life coach? Just trying to dream about it realistically here :)

Auction sites 4 months ago

So far I have 5 sites listed that we can list our product on. We now have to weigh the importance of fees against exposure to find out what will be our best route.

Guess we have just a little time to figure that out while we wait for the bank stuff (jeopardy theme inserted here)

Boredom 4 months ago

Out of boredom I set up my iGoogle home page for the business. While I thought the to do list I set up was great, the aquarium for the “office” rocks!!! I only have a few piddly things to get done before we can place our order…in two or three weeks…blah, I hate waiting. Have to wait for the debit cards to come so we can give our wholesaler the financials as well as get PayPal set up completely.

Like I said, hurry up and wait. Maybe I can get some really good product information and reviews set up before then on products I know we’ll be selling.

Really I just wanted to post so everyone would know I have an aquarium for my home office…even if it is just a virtual one :)
