Hi Chris and Susan here...
It's Wednesday already and half the working week almost gone...
Some celebrations today to acknowledge...
And we played it in the office this morning before we started work
Not just because it's his 61st birthday but because the song is so special right now all around the world as we cope with the long term effects of the Coronavirus and how it is affecting every single one of us
We need some joy in our lives don't you think?
But let's go back now to the question we asked at the beginning of this email
"What INSPIRED You To Start Your Own Online Business...Or To Start Generating An Online Income?"
We're writing a book on entrepreneurship and we wanted to add a chapter with the stories of our friends and know what was the "straw that broke the donkey's back"...
The trigger point as we often call it that was painful enough to cause them to make the change
We'll just grab a couple to give you some ideas
See if any of them match yours
Michael Mason said "My story goes back to when my daughter was born and I chose to work from home so I could care for her, right in the middle of a big website project. Have had hard times but never regretted my decision"
Jamie Navarre said "Wanting to be able to buy my own house and pay off my student loan"
DrLisa Thompson said "To pay off my medical bills"
Bonnie Watson said "I jumped online to create freedom for my husband to ditch his JOB...it is a total sweat shop... conditions I would not ask anyone to endure. He is in a hot factory setting, managing 5 hot torches, wearing layers of leather for protection"
Debbie Hinnant said "My mum was terminally ill and I retired sooner than planned to relocate and be with her. The reality of how little my pension afforded me in terms of lifestyle prompted me to start looking at online businesses to earn extra income. No regrets! "
Mike Gostola said "Spending more time with my family and not being tied to a location anymore"
And the answers still keep coming in...
As you know, we were not exactly “inspired” to start our own online business it was born out of necessity when we reached a “straw that broke the donkey’s back” moment...
But absolutely the best thing ever and the story is ours and ours alone that we hope inspires others
BUT we would love to know from you...
What INSPIRED You or REQUIRED You to start?
Just email us back and share your story
We appreciate you :-)
Meanwhile...
Stay home ~ stay safe ~ do something worthwhile with your time
