Sandi Krakowski and Working at Home

If you are one who thought your dreams were just something that came into reality when you closed your eyes at night, and you have a strong desire to educate yourself on how to go 'up' rather than just a desire to get 'out' of where you are at, we'd love to hear from you.

GM Not so Reliable, Sure is Good to Have Me Working at Home!

My husband has worked faithfully for GM for over 18 years.... with recent talks of health benefits being taken away, the fact that he has not had a raise in over 2 years, they put him thru school for 3 years only to say that his 'position' might not be needed and more of the 'you are replaceable' mindset that is taking place there we sure are thankful that I made TWICE what my husband did in less than 90 days working at home.

Some might ask, "Sure, how is that possible? He has a degree, a position and a solid company!" Oh really? The only thing solid about his degree is that it is on paper and the only thing he has is exactly what I have: SKILL. Your skill is your value in the marketplace, don't let Corporate America deceive you into thinking your degree gets you places. If your SKILL and your PERSONAL skills do not match that degree, you are going no where fast.

When I want to make more money, I just work more. Right now I work 20-25 hours per week and I brought home, direct deposit to my checking in May 2005 $ 8000! He had a limit set on his income and more work than he could handle, with rude annoucements like , "1 in 5 layoffs this year at GM" plaguing his mind thruout May.

What is YOUR "Plan B" and do you have it set in motion yet or are you just thinking about re-evaluating and contemplating to reconsiderate that maybe you might need another income stream in the next 60-120 days?

Working at home puts you in control. That's why I selectively choose who I will work with; I take my time interviewing those who will join my organization and I am very careful to not run an adult daycare center filled with whining, complaining adults who just want someone to tell them what to do for 40 hours.

WAKE UP and take control of your life. Rather than working to live, why don't you start LIVING and enjoying your work before it's too late.

Side note: Denver Colorado looks real good about now and considering I am plug and play, one wonders how long it will take before my husband takes that leap of faith and gives GM the pink slip they deserve!
