 Re: How do you go back to work after being out for years? | |
Hi there - I am only new to the forum, but feel this is something I understand.
I have worked with people over my years in business & I have often found the mums coming back into the workforce have often struggled with the new set of demands.
An example is one lady I used to work with, Solo Mum, had 1 child and she came back to work once she was comfortable with her darling in day care. Then the challenges were finishing work on time to collect her darling, running late in the morning because her darling was "playing up" and then the days she couldnt come in at all because her darling was sick. Fortunately we worked in a "family friendly business" that understood the difficulties, but not all companies are like that.
If you want to work outside of the home, setup your support network, setup alternatives, contingency plans for when you are running late, stuck in traffic and day care is closing.
The point I am trying to make is - be realistic about what you want to achieve by going back to work - if it is just to make some money - think about the challenges you will have to face and look to alternatives.
There are hundreds of different options for making money - Ebay, Internet marketing, Develop your hobby, provide an online service, the list is huge...
Work is for those who don't live their passion - Live your passion and you will never work another day again...
In Love & Light
