The #Anxiety Monster Part 5 Beware of the #JobCoach

Guess I should have seen this one coming, but sometimes I can get in such a relaxed mood that I don't see the black dog (depression) sneaking upon me, and it only takes one well meaning muppet to tip the carefully ordered, logical process of events into chaos.

In my case it was a Jobs Coach, somebody determined that I should push myself, in front of a class of people, it didn't end well... (she is still living and breathing!) but I was left feeling disorganised, stressed, anxious and depressed, which is not, motivated, inspired, positive and eager is it ?!

I guess I shouldn't have put myself in a vulnerable situation like that, as Job Coaches are there to do the breaking down of the spirit and building it back up again in the mould of the person looking for A JOB - the traditional type of job where you grovel and lie your butt off to an employer in order to get them to EMPLOY YOU and pay you a wage.

I forgot I'm not looking for a traditional job, I'm looking for one to pay my rent and fund my investment in a business that will take me away from the claws of creatures such as job coaches!

Beware of them - they aren't trained to deal with stressed people that have had disturbed lives - there is no way I could introduce my business to people like that, as there is a gaping hole where emotion should be - dragons den and x factor type judgements are NOT my thing, the job coach had forgot I am a human being with FEELINGS, their loss not mine :/

Being your own boss does mean compromise and getting out of your comfort zone, but not having a person tear down your order and replace it with BULL - no thanks, that is not freedom, that's jail!

Jigsaw Piece Part 3 A route out of unemployment via home business

I've looked far and wide over the years, tried here and there, and come to the conclusion that for some people (like me) the only route out of getting off the dole and earning more than the minimum wage (for years until death!) is to FOCUS on a Product you like, from a company you trust and use their sales system, their tools, but put your own spin on it.

The route isn't easy, its like a ragged pathway, that seems full of pitfalls and adventures along the way, but most of the systems have a lot in common, they are network marketing programs of some sort and you need a team as committed as yourself, backed by the strength of the brand.

The home business I am interested in, has all those things, it is subtle, traditional but flexible.

Home business needs investment of your time and money, the hunger you have to find within your soul comes from a mixture of places, any investment means a RISK of some sort in involved.

Judging the RISK is the hardest part.

When does a person go from speculating on the possibility to business owner, when do you become self employed, when is tax due ?

While HMRC and the Job Centre have definite rules - the poor person juggling the RISK takes all the responsibility, the blame for errors, the rejection.

The strange thing about all this is the business plan is pretty straight forward: - you generate a PROFIT - you hit the target sales, you get a promotion, its simple.

SIMPLE THINGS ARE COMPLICATED AND FULL OF RISK - FACT!

Its left for you to decide, do I take the risk or don't I ?!

Most people would probably say NO, risk is dangerous, but if you are constantly playing it safe and staying in your comfort zone, you can stagnate.

A Business from Home has always seemed like a compromise to me, it offers 1 glimmer of hope for a break to freedom you can't find in many places, so that spark, for me will always be there, no matter what ANYONE says!
