I couldn’t help but think of a story Danny sent us, about being financially successful but no happy in his job. He made the tough decision to leave and follow his dream and become a full-time musician.

There a bunch of stories like Danny’s on the site but for some reason his has always struck a chord w/ me (pun intented). Maybe it’s my own past as a struggling musician, not sure.

A link to his video is below. I hope you like it. And if you do, give him a vote — winning videos will be featured in a Mutual of Omaha tv ad!
Thanks and have a great day.

Thank you all for your comments!

Hilary, you’re so right! Abiodun and Amy, I am so happy that you gained new insight from this. Very very best of luck! I’m very grateful for your support and love. Amy, do tell us more about your big move! Maybe we can even profile you here!

Dianna, I’m sorry to hear that you’ve had so much trouble getting caught up in big online scams. I think the problem is that you’re focusing too much on finding organizations or companies or systems to make you money, rather than first considering what real skills, talents and experiences you have that you can leverage for other people/organizations that would be interested in compensating you for your contribution.

Many people work from home and are able to earn a great living doing so. Check out sites like Craig’s list (under “gigs”), Dice.com (if you have any great tech talent), guru.com, or any of a handful of other project, contract, independent consulting sites that let you “bid” on projects. That way, again, you can leverage what you’re good at into income, rather than hope to fit yourself into some random system that forgets about you in the process.
Focus on honing your skills too. That’s always critical. Make yourself more and more marketable and this will become less and less of a challenge over time.

Keep the comments coming!

I am wanting to work from home but am not finding any real work from home jobs that appear to be realistic. I have tried many survey sites to make money but never have made a dime. I don’t believe any of these make a 5,000 a month ads and have read that so many of them are scams that I have fearful of trying any. I have lost 15,000 already in trying to get started on-line and have had no luck. Do you have any suggestions for home careers other than selling, that are not scams and can make someone a good income?

Dianna
