How many of you people are bored of your current career? Is the grind of working nine to five with the same people day in day out getting you down? Have you had enough of that long commute to the office and all of those traffic jams? If you have answered yes to any of these three questions it may well be the time to think of an alternative career. This is what I and many other people have done, I have managed to turn one of my hobbies into a career. In this article I will of course explain more.
A couple of years ago I was on the way to work when for no apparant reason I became stuck in what I call non moving traffic. I phoned the office where I worked to let them know that I was likely to arrive slightly late. Do not worry commented my boss, you can make up the hours before you leave. This angered me some what, it was not my fault that I was in all of this traffic, it was just a one off. The boss was also aware that I held training for an under eights football team on this particluar night and that it was not really possible for me to work later, unless of course I was to organise somebody else to run the training session.
I sat there thinking there must be more to life than this. We are a long time dead, therefore while we are on this planet surely we should be having fun. In the boredom of this traffic queue my mind started to wonder. What career could I have which possibly would make me happy? As a hobby I love to promote the website that I have. I enjoy finding out about the latest web marketing and web promotion ideas by reading the seo forums.
My mind was set I am going to offer my services in the UK as a website promotion expert! Two weeks later I made a huge leap, I resigned from my position in the office and went self-employed. I have never looked back since and even though it is hard work, it sure beats being stuck in traffic and working for an unfair boss.
