Countdown to 2015, Day 9: ARE YOU SERIOUS?
I am counting down the days until 2015 arrives with ideas, information, inspiration and resources to help you earn more in 2015.
Give Them A Clue. The important thing to remember is that most people have no clue as to how many ways there are to make-money from home and especially online. If they have never researched the subject, the only time they probably heard about someone working from home is from a report on TV about someone who, unfortunately, got scammed. However mean their words may sound, the person is probably just trying to protect you from getting hurt.
Have a Good Laugh. If the person asking you this question is someone that you do not see on a regular basis, you can just try to laugh off the question and change the subject. However, if the person is someone you are close to and have quite a bit of contact with, try to educate them about your business. Explain what it is that you do, how much you enjoy it, and why you chose to work-at-home versus working in a traditional job.
Inspire Jealousy. Once your critic understands that working at home is a real option - and that you are not involved in a scam, they will most likely be supportive of your decision. They may end up being a little jealous of you and wish they had the courage to leave their job and work from home, too!
It doesn't matter if you work on the highest level of the tallest building or if you work on your kitchen table, you are still working. You are contributing to your family's income and you are a wonderful role model to everyone around you - especially your children - who will get a upfront view of business even before they go out into the world.
By keeping your confidence high, you will be more successful in all aspects of your life in 2015.

Great advice - I know a whole group of people in my circle who think working at home must somehow be wrong. Thanks for the encouragement!
