So You Have Chosen to Escape the Rat Race and Work From Home - So Where Do You Start?

In a recent post I talked about the popular symptoms and the characteristic of that day to day existence that many call the Rat Race. So if life in the Rat Race is as unpleasant as we all say it is - Why do many of us hold on to it for the majority of our working lives just like a baby holds on to his/her security blanket?

A wise man once said to me that there three certainties in life TAX, DEATH and CHANGE. John F. Kennedy once said that "Change is the law of life, and those who only look to the past or present are certain to miss the future"
Considering a change that will at some point impact on your livelihood and the security of dependants of course is no easy decision. Often people starting out in a Home Based business will put one 'toe in the water first' and establish their alternative income part time from home, before surrendering their pay check for the final time and making a fast track exit from the Rat Race. Makes sense!

The first decision with any home based business opportunity is to separate the fictional operators from the legitimate and proven businesses. We don't have to surf too far at any time on the internet to discover some extraordinary claims, from a group of 'some ones' about the next big thing and instant wealth. Hey if only it was that easy the Rat Race would have been abandoned and forgotten by everyone some time ago!

I suggest that the first decision that any decided Home Base operator should seriously consider is finding a business match that fits with their skill set, operating culture, desired income and passion. YES PASSION - if you have navigated that one way crossing across the 'bridge of change' you would want to be very comfortable that your new enterprise is something that excites you not only during that initial honeymoon period but every month and year that follows.

Remember crossing the bridge of 'change' is typically a one-way journey!

Once you have identified a business opportunity that is a match for your skills, your budget, your interests and PASSION, a tick list like this would apply:

  • The opportunity is a part of a growth industry in multiple markets
  • The opportunity is proven to work and is supported by proven business systems - intellectual property
  • Incomes claims by 'Sponsors' and existing operators can be validated
  • The opportunity is managed by a credentialed leadership team that are accessible - and not simply by email or 'support tickets'
  • The business is a genuine business, the entity is a registered & bonafide
  • No mystery payments are requested by strangers
  • Discovery of operator attrition and success rates


Next comes a willingness to learn and an Entrepreneurs mind set. More on that in my next post.

The Rat Race Unplugged!

You are unhappy with your current life, stuck in the rut of living to work, endless commuting time, tolerating your work mates like a prisoner tolerates a cell mate, earning just enough to pay the bills each month. You have rare quality time to spend with your family. You like most, are entrenched in the Rat Race.

A Synopsis of Life in the Rat Race

You are a corporate professional or self employed in a conventional business. Time is a premium and it’s consumed mostly at the work place. Your career or business development tasks take priority and you sacrifice your present time for the distant hope of more time later – You too are entrenched in the Rat Race.

Let's be real - today's employment market often has us feeling trapped in an uninspired and boring flat- line of mere existence. We regularly feel there is no easy way to escape the Rat Race of the corporate world and other occupations. We choose to conform to the ‘pack’ to generate an income. Most of us work at least 30 years of our life trying to convince ourselves this Rat Race is worth the struggle and it will one day end in blissful retirement
The sad truth is that most people won't have enough savings to experience a happy retirement despite having wished it and worked towards it of all their life.


The common reality is that we have been educated and ‘conditioned’ throughout our life to seek security. What security? Only you and you alone can determine your destiny. You are limited only by what you choose to perceive and conceive.

Isn't it time you too Escaped The Rat Race.....For Life!

Luxury Learning In Stunning Acapulco - Mexico

Liberty League International - one of the world’s leading personal development companies hosted a stellar line up of talent at the renowned and exquisite Fairmont Princess Acapulco Resort in Acapulco, Mexico. The event featured extraordinary activities including key-note speakers Bob Davies and Richard Chang culminating in the traditional LLI style with the always amazing Farewell Gala!

This was another spectacular personal development event. I attended the Summit event in the Bahamas last October and this event in Acapulco was equally valuable. The social functions and the conference formalities were sensational, however the greatest value I gained once more, was the opportunity to master-mind with many members of this extraordinary community.

I am very grateful to everyone that assisted with the organisation of this event and I will be forever grateful for the leadership I continue to gain in this wonderful business. If anyone has a genuine desire to step out of the Rat Race and take control of their lives - Get on board with LLI and get to these conferences - This business has turbo charged my life!
