Why My Work At Home Life Is Beyond Successful
Work from home your way doing what you love. You be the boss and set yourself up for long lasting success.
For me, working from home has been one of the most amazing journeys I have ever taken. It has also been a joy filled experience that I would not change for all the money on the planet.
Working at home has given me great pleasures and wonderful benefits that accompanies this one-of-a-kind discovery. One of a kind because being a business owner allows me to do things my way. It gives me the opportunity to use my gifts, talents, skills and abilities to the fullest helping me to reach my greatest potential.
Starting my first home based business as a virtual assistant was good and I enjoyed typing and transcribing, but I knew there was something greater awaiting me. I discovered that something as I began creating coloring pages for children. I went from making coloring pages to coloring books and then to graphic design. Graphic design became my passion. All of this happened in October 2002 and I’ve been designing almost every day ever since.
My business growth has truly been a step-by-step process and I have taken it one day at a time.
At first, I started out creating and designing coloring pages for kids. I went to the next level in my business and I began making flyers from there I graduated to greeting cards for my husband and a dear friend of ours. I started designing business cards and personalized keepsakes for children and families.
My personalized keepsakes are one of the greatest components of my business. The personalized keepsakes were certificates that I turned into a short lived business only because I didn’t have the business knowledge that I have now.
And then Angel on my Shoulder was born and it took off. After AOMS, I started Cyndi’s Light Work Designs and this is the business I have come to love and enjoy to the fullest.
I have incorporated all of my ideas under the umbrella of CLWD and I enjoy running my business to the utmost. It gives me a sense a peace, joy and true happiness I’ve never experienced before. Working for myself, setting my own work schedule and being able to run my business my way is a wonderful feeling.
When I joined Facebook I decided to create a business page for Cyndi’s Light Work Designs. I began posting my designs right away and saw a growth in business doing what I never thought I would or could do and that was creating logos for various companies. This is something that I truly love doing because graphic design is now my passion.
This took my business to a whole level and yet I still wanted more and so I decided to take my design business to the next level which was to put them on tee-shirts, mugs, tote bags and other merchandise and sell them.
Why I Use CafePress and Zazzle To Make Money
The platforms that I decided to use were CafePress and Zazzle. There are fantastic platforms that you can monetize, but deep down in my heart I knew that I wanted
something even greater for my business. I wanted a full fledged design business. Although CafePress and Zazzle are a nice way to supplement income, I wanted my customers to order directly from me and I wanted to handle all of my orders.
My goal was to be able package all of my items elegantly, accompanied by a beautiful thank you card with a personal message from me. I envisioned all these things in my mind and I set out to accomplish all of my goals. This is what being a business owner and entrepreneur means; doing things your way which has the all of the components of growing a unique home based business.
Doing things your way, devising your business plan and then executing your plan for great business success is empowering and uplifting. For me, it has been the dream that I didn’t just have to dream, but the dream that I now live. I still use CafePress and Zazzle to this day because I just love it.
Tee-Shirt Business
Furthermore, I dreamed many dreams in terms of starting my own business.
One of my dreams included a t-shirt business.
I know people like wearing t-shirts and I wanted to start my own t-shirt business. I did some research on how to get started, but I was a little skeptical about buying a heat press machine only because I had no knowledge of how they worked. I did more research and found that heat press machines are expensive, but I could buy a used one for about $350.
I thought that this was a good price, but I was still a little nervous only because I didn’t have a marketing plan in place to sell the tees, so I decided to use Custom Ink for my t-shirt design business and they have been awesome. I haven’t sold many tees, but that’s only because I haven’t been marketing my business for success and that’s only because I can’t stop designing long enough to focus on my t-shirt business!
I hope to someday have a booming t-shirt business.
To this day, I am loving my entrepreneurial expedition. It is one of the great joys of my life and I am absolutely in love with all that I am embarking upon. I have been empowered and all of my sales across my platforms are continuing to increase daily.
My work from home life is truly incredible. I hope if you’re thinking about starting your own work from home journey and being boss over your life, go on and do it. You’ll be elated when you make your first sale.
Here’s to your work from home journey.
