Top 10 Things I Hate About Job Hunting
1) Getting dressed up for an interview.
2) The pre-interview self Pep-talk.
3) The absurd computerized psychological testing some employers deem necessary.
4) Selling yourself to someone who probably has less experience than you do.
5) The expense of getting ready for the interview.
6) Trying to remember addresses and phone numbers you had 10 years ago.
7) Re-filling out paperwork that is already on file.
The disappointment in not getting a job that you are obviously over-qualified for, but, Hey! The rent is due!
9) Feeling the need to explain your life choices.
10) Pretending that your family is non-existent and that you’re a focused career person ready to sacrifice everything just to get an entry-level position.
If you can relate to the above, then you can probably understand why we chose to say Good-Bye to job-hunting and interviews forever, and why we chose to work our own businesses from home.

Deciding to take control over your life is a pretty liberating feeling.
You may have been on the last interview of your life!
Recently, I heard a lecture in which the speaker talked about how a sense of humor sets humans apart
from the animals. Now,of course, you’ve “cracked up” over the antics of your puppy or kitten, but think about it…
As the lecturer asked, “Have you ever heard a really good joke,and you just couldn’t wait to get home and tell it
to your cat?” 
The ability to laugh at ourselves,and at the ironies of our life,is indeed a precious gift that we should
not fail to utilize and appreciate!
To other women business owners like myself, this message is so important,because our lives are filled with
responsibilities and constant contact with people and personalities. Dealing with people can be difficult,or delightful,depending often upon our own view of the situation. While not treating others with disrespect, can we laugh at our situations, recognizing our own moments of fallibility, finding the irony, making it a point to find at least ONE humorous thing today? Collect those cartoons that really made you laugh. Put a smile in your voice when talking on the phone,even if you don’t feel particularly “smiley” that day…soon you will! Find the puns. Be corny. Experts agree that even your immune system benefits from laughter,and the endorphins produced from it can ease pain! Laughter is contagious…mirth has worth!
