Actually, I should have pointed out the obvious fact ... many people fail at this business (and in other businesses ... insurance sales is a great example) ... becuase they flat don't work. I don't mean to step on anyone's toes, but the number of folks who self-report blogging on company time, etc., makes this fact clear. I'm not trying to tell anyone what is right or wrong, that's completely up too them, but the bitter truth is, if you work for yourself you don't get paid unless you work ... and that's just something a few people appear not to have thought through. @ RW.

I’m not trying to tell anyone what is right or wrong, that’s completely up too them, but the bitter truth is, if you work for yourself you don’t get paid unless you work … and that’s just something a few people appear not to have thought through.

During that time, I saw several 100 people hired who didn't even make it one year. Most of my appointments were held in peoples homes. One day, the company decided they were going to charge us rent for our office space. I decided why pay rent, I'm never there. I let them know that I was going to work from home from that point forward. They told me that they hadn't seen anyone succeed once they left the office and worked independently. I told them that I hadn't seen anyone succeed who stayed either...lol. Thanks for your comments Dave, I really appreciate them. @Dave,

This year I actually worked from the Bahamas and Monaco and while floating on the Mediterranean. You can work from anywhere once you get it figured out, even on vacation! @lis

Well, it isn't, but if you really want to stay only on more conventional ground, think of this. Any job that is done today with a telephone, the mail, and/or a keyboard can probably be done from home. How many people report every work day to an office simply to sit at a keyboard and talk on a phone?
