HUMP DAY???
Today is Wednesday, August 5, 2009, or "HUMP DAY" to many people who consider this the middle of their work week.However, for those of us who work from home in home based businesses, as housewives, or just have the ability to do your full time job from the comfort of your home, it is difficult to consider Wednesday as "HUMP DAY" because we often work 7 days a week and typically many more than the 8-9 hours most of our corporate friends do.
Every day seems the same quite often to me now. I've been out of the corporate world since I lost my job in October of 2007. I spent the next year hours upon hours online looking for new management jobs until I finally just gave in to the fact there were few and far between jobs out there and it was time for me to try to establish a business.THAT is when someone suggested to start selling on eBay and see if I could establish a business that way. The rest is history.What most of you don't know is just how extremely time consuming selling online is. There is little time that we are not "working" in some way. We are always looking for items to sell/resell, have to check out emails constantly throughout the day to answer questions about items, we are scheduling visits to stores, finding time to ship items, taking photographs, taking photographs, taking photographs, listing items, listing items, listing items...etc., :-)
It is HARD work, but it is something we choose to do for a variety of reasons. Some of those reasons could be the obvious lack of jobs out there, inability to work outside the home, physical problems/limitations, need extra money and the list goes on. But one thing stands out far and above all....We LOVE IT! This is OUR business! Our piece of the pie out there in the shopping world. We own it, we make it our own and we put blood, sweat and tears into it!
We truly like meeting all the new people we meet along the way who bid on our items, come into our stores and we befriend at times. I started my store (Exquisite Boutique) toward the end of the year last year (2008) and have since made many friends through that venue. So don't hesitate to put yourself out there a bit when shopping at online stores. Who knows, the next person you purchase something from could become your new best friend! HAPPY SHOPPING!!! :-)
Exquisitely yours,
Laurie Mae
