Hi Wendy,

Great article and a great motivator! I can answer yes to 7 out of the 10. I started on this a while ago and it’s definitely an obsession. I’ve given myself the target of being full time on the Internet by the end of 2008. Going for it!

Martin.

This is a great post Wendy.

So many important tips that should be written down on the mirrors, notebooks, foreheads of anyone entering this lifestyle.

I’m glad you reshared it for all of us and now has got me thinking I need to post it on my blog:

The great thing about working at home is the fact that, by doing something you love, you are able to tap your true potential.

Sadly, a lot of great minds are not being challenged as a result of the fact that they don’t know when to let go of a certain lifestyle which is not appropriate for them.

Great post Wendy. I had to start blogging because my wife is ill, I am an actor, and I needed a way to create an income that would allow me to have some flexibility with my schedule.

I’m hoping to be able to leave my day job by the end of the 2008. We’ll see what happens!

Hi Wendy,
Ive been working towards this goal for some time.

With the higher expectations of boss’s (including mine, the longer hours & travel people are having to committ to they are looking for happier alternatives and time to spend with their families.

Internet Marketing has opened up so many opportunities.

With the new year ahead it’s time for those New Year Resolutions and this was a great post to moving forward….

Wendy,
Your site provides great support and ideas for those wanting to pursue their dreams on their own terms. Great job.

I’ve been working from home for over 4 years and can’t imagine going back to a “real” job.

Best in 2008,
Coop

I can say yes to nine of them. Guess I’d better get myself over to the starting gate for ‘08!

Like the above commenter, I can’t exactly promise that I’ll make it for 6 months, but I am pretty sure that I need to stop waiting around for that day to come, too.

Yes to 2,3,4,5,7, and 9. I’ve quit my job before and gone out without a safety net and it’s really not that bad. In fact, I’m doing it again in 31 days.

Thanks for this motivational post, Wendy!

I was able to answer YES! to every single question, except for #6 (the one about having 2-6 months without any self-generated income). That’s actually the one thing holding me back from acting now.

I hope this time next year, I’ll be able to report back that I can then answer YES! to EVERY question on the list… and that I HAVE taken that leap!

Thanks for posting these – I might even print them out and post them on my board
