Almost two years ago I started looking for work at home. Throughout the last two years I’ve taken a few classes and learned a lot, and the last almost full year has been spent actually blogging and getting this little blog out there. All the while a primary goal has been to work at home. Last weekend I built two websites. One that I can see taking off, once plans start being implemented, as it’s a very marketable plan, and the other for a friend, to further her success as a real estate agent in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.

This has caused two things within me. Pride at how far I’ve come and for accomplishing a small goal on the way to a bigger one. Having built those two over the weekend and two previous to it for my employer, I think I have a pretty good grasp of it now, and can do it now to generate a little side income. So while I’ve not made that leap from working outside the home to working at home, I am gaining priceless experience in the legal field, I already type well over 65 words per minute as a transcriptionist. Combining legal experience with speed like I possess could serve to help me to accomplish my goal sooner than later. The money I would save!!!

I dare not think about it longer than a few minutes. Today I was blamed for something I didn’t do, which is always something that can happen at work. But, I didn’t argue, I simply pointed out that I didn’t do that part of the work around the office and left it at that, and even though that person persisted, at the end of the day I go home and none of that matters to me anymore. That might be my primary source of income, but I’m not helpless to it, I have been quietly working in the background and on the weekends to take the middle man out of my income equation.

Make no mistake, I’m a great employee, I do my part, more than my part on a regular basis. The people I work for know I’m a go to girl. They know that when they give me something, they can trust me with it - that’s a priceless ability. Knowing that I am valuable and work hard and can do such a great job for them, spurs me even more to bring my goal to the finish line. I’m disciplined, focused and able - I just don’t have the time to devote my full attention on finding a work at home job. When I make that leap - I don’t want to leap from depending on a job I drive to, to depending on a job I log onto.

Basically, I want to create my own paycheck. So for the past several days, I’ve been trying to decide whether I needed to file a company with the state in which I live. Fortunately I work for an attorney so I sought legal advice on that question. Trying to pick out a company name for several companies I plan to start in the near future. It’s been a whirlwind week. I’ve been very very busy and to top it off, today I hear that my Mavericks are talking about trading one of my favorite players, for a guy who used to play for us.

Jason Kidd is a potential Maverick. This is a big deal for basketball fans, not only in Dallas, but also in New Jersey, where Kidd is coming from - their team is being pieced out! However I definitely think that if this trade stops the Mavericks habit of dancing around the championship and losing it ultimately, that the trade is worth it. I sure am gonna miss “The Blur”.
