The loss of my dear wife Rosa to cancer several months ago ushered me back into bachelorhood for the first time in 33 years. I can attest to the fact that becoming a bachelor is far more stressful and difficult than getting married. One is joyous, the other heart whenching.
After a brief hiatus to grieve and refocus I returned to work and my internet marketing business. It did not take long before I realized that despite the financial rewards and obvious benefits of working from home I no longer had the desire or motivation to do all that needed to be done in order to remain productive.
So, I retired. Sort of. I still operate a series of websites and generate a modest income, but I only invest a couple of hours a week into my business. Currently I have simply been offering free advice to individuals thinking of working online.
My desire these days is to concentrate on what is really important in life - my family, my faith and some long overdue recreation and travel. I know I need to generate some money online to pay for all those extras, but it is not difficult when the pressure is no longer present.
I encourage everyone to assess their priorities. Many years ago I developed for a financial services firm a catch phrase (The 5F System) for life's priorities:
FAITH, FITNESS, FAMILY, FINANCES, FUN.
If you follow this 5F System, in the order I created it, it will assist you greatly in getting the most out of your life.
God Bless All and the best of success.
