Have You Seen Cheap Tiny Houses?
Even while we are searching for, or if we are building our home based internet jobs we MUST make time for family. Tomorrow my daughter starts school. So today was officially the last day of summer for her. Yes! a art of me would much rather have been here in front of the computer growing my business. I feel like I wasted precious time being away from my website. But, my daughter has to come first. We went to see cheap tiny houses on display.
The Tiny House Craze
My daughter can sit in front of the HGTV channel all day long if we don't remind her of the other aspects of her life. So, I happened to be listening to a commercial about a Tiny House exhibit that was being held this weekend about 45 minutes from where we live. I didn't need to ask her if she wanted to go. I could not believe how many people were there. I was told that 1500 tickets were sold today and another 1500 were sold yesterday. There were 10 house on display. As I stood in the line waiting to see the first house the wheels started to spin in my head.
I Can Take Wealthy Affiliate Anywhere
The beautiful thing about this business is that we are not locked down to a static location. I can go anywhere and build content to my website as long as there is a connection to the internet. The wheels had me imaging being right back in my hometown, birthplace. That way I could be close to my elderly parents to ensure they have everything they need. I love my parents. It's because of them I am who I am today.
Lavish Vacations
The wheels also made me imagine being on an exotic island somewhere. I could take the family and we could plan an itinerary for each day and include a couple of hours to work on my business. It can be a win-win for everyone. I so look forward in the not too distant future to begin taking lavish vacations in exotic locales. Family will come first, and yet I can still make time for my business.
Family Time Is Essential
So today was a day dedicated to hanging out with my daughter. We saw the cheap tiny houses. We went to eat dinner afterwards. Then we went shopping for last minute items she will need for this first week of school and groceries for me to ensure that she has at least two hearty meals per day. This was her day. Tomorrow will be my day. Look out world! I will be Backontrack Monday morning!!!
Build your business, but make time for family!!!

Family is a first priority!!
Hey Greer,
Did you know that tiny houses are trending on the internet as well? There might be a niche in there for you or your daughter.
I actually did a keyword search when I was tying this blog. I'm using the ideas that I have learned from you seasoned guys in broadening my horizons.
Thanks for the idea!
Just had some wonderful family time and it's great. BTW I have seen some of these tiny houses and dismissed them as glorified storage sheds, but now I see they are so much more. Cn you tow them along and mimic a motor home?
Yes you can Mike. In fact, its my understanding that you have the option of keeping the axles ion so that you can hook them up and be on your merry way. On yesterday I saw both situations set up, wheels on and wheels off. Thanks for stopping by and reading.
So nice to hear you spent the day hanging out with your daughter. I also watch tiny houses on HGTV but have never been to an exhibit. Yes, it is very nice to work from home or to know you can work anywhere in the world if you want to.
I agree greer family time is important. Glad you had time for your daughter. What did you think of the tiny houses?
Hey Tim. I was pleasantly surprised at the structure of a couple of them. One in particular had a spiral staircase and at the top I was literally able to stand upright. I am 6'4.

You are spot on about family, Greer and those "Tiny Houses" are amazing. I have yet to see one on the road but I imagine they are more popular in the U.S. than here in Canada.
I have a 28' Travel trailer but the idea of owning a tiny house is very intriguing but it would probably mean that I would have to buy a bigger truck to haul it.
Hmmmmm...I think I have just thought of another goal/ dream.
The Tiny House craze is on the rise. I wouldn't be surprised to see it move north into Canada real soon.
