So you hate your job and want a career change. Which career is right for you? This question is sometimes difficult to answer. We usually know what aren’t right for us but we don’t know which one is the right one.

Let’s simplify the issue. What values do you consider important in your life?

If spending more time with your family is your ultimate value then work from home will clearly become an interesting alternative. However, if you’re forced by external conditions such as staying at home for health reasons or having to take care of a disabled family member, then work and earn from home is the best alternative.

Here is another question: is it really possible? Will the income be sufficient to support yours and your family needs?

Well, the last question is the question people often ask. Fortunately, there are online case studies telling us that not only do they survive but they are also becoming more prosperous.

Just click the above link in and read the stories to get some inspiration. You’ll find lessons about the approach, attitude, persistence, passion, choice of theme and monetization models of featured home-workers.

Now…

How about you? Do you possess a “DNA of success” such as presented by people in the case studies?

At some points in your life, there are times when you aren’t satisfied with your income achievement but you procrastinate to solve the issue. That was my situation…

I’m good at planning everything from career development to financial independence. But, as you may guess, it was only good and well-written on paper. It didn’t grant significant money for me.

Motivational gurus, from where I learned goal setting, mostly suggested that I had to write my goals and objectives on paper. I’d followed all of their guidance but nothing happened. Yes, I mastered the goal setting knowledge but my income objective was far from my reach.

About one and half year ago I found these simple formulas:

• Start with small steps

• Persevere until you get what you want

They are SO obvious and simple but I didn’t realize how powerful they were until they really changed my life.

When I began to accept the fact that I used to be a procrastinator on difficult and unpleasant tasks I saw things differently. As a result, my earnings increased by one and half just by applying the first formula. After that, I believed that further achievement was right before my very eyes.

Why are the formulas so powerful that they changed my life?

By starting with small steps I didn’t need to alter much of my daily routines. It’s a human nature that we love a status quo and resist change in our daily routines. But I could adjust easily with a minimal activities switch. I didn’t feel too much pain when I did one new daily task.

In short, I moved forward slowly but almost painlessly.

The second formula is essential to keep me moving forward. When I faced many obstacles down the road I rewrote my reasons why I wanted this goal. Every reason, especially the ultimate reason, was my additional fuel in case my energy level was low.

So…

If I can apply the above formula, you can too. Just apply the above formulas for whatever objectives you want to achieve. Of course, a goal for doubling your income is always interesting.;-)
