There are more and more people searching everyday for the avenue that is right for them. Many of these people will start a computer home based business. A big misconception that most people have is that once they find the way that they will take, the hard part is over. In all actuality, this is when the work begins. This is when you find out if you have what it takes to be a true entrepreneur.

In today’s world, there are many different avenues that lead to financial success. There are more and more people searching everyday for the avenue that is right for them. Many of these people will start a computer home based business. A big misconception that most people have is that once they find the way that they will take, the hard part is over. In all actuality, this is when the work begins. This is when you find out if you have what it takes to be a true entrepreneur.

A lot of people don’t realize the work that it takes to become successful when starting a computer home based business. Many of them think that because they were educated enough to discover this new “path” to riches that they are educated enough to continue successfully down that path.

This could not be farther from the truth. If you do not have a strong financial education then you will not have a strong financial future. Now when I say education, people sometimes ask me, “What exactly is financial education?”

Wikipedia defines education as the process or art of imparting knowledge, skill, and judgment; Facts, skills or ideas, that have been learnt either formally or informally. I define education as the knowledge of putting ones potentials to maximum use.

Just because people understand the need for “education”, many of them don’t realize that there is more than one type of education. They are all important, and they all have their place in life. There are actually three types of education that exist in the world today, and they are academic, professional, and financial.

The first type of education is academic. Academic education is the education that you get in elementary school. This is the education that lays the foundation for your life. This type of education includes your reading, writing, math, and science. The homework that you had in grade school was essential to expanding your academic education.

The second type of education is professional. Professional education is the education that you need if you want to become a doctor, lawyer or even a licensed mechanic for that matter. These careers require an education that is not taught in grade school. They focus specifically on the profession that you are pursuing. Although this type of education is important, it is not the most important when it comes to being successful.

The final type of education is financial education. For you to be wildly successful in life, you must develop a strong financial education. Every successful person that you hear about understands this concept, and they never stop learning. This type of education is crucial if you want to become rich and successful. Just ask Steve Jobs (Apple), Bill Gates (Microsoft), and Henry Ford (Ford Motor Company). None of these people graduated college, yet went on to become some of the most successful people in the world.

So just because you have the education that leads you to your path to financial success, doesn’t mean that you can stop learning. If you are starting a computer home based business, you will need to develop a strong financial education, and make a commitment to never stop learning, because that is where the fortunes are made.

The 6 Stages of Modern Career Development
By Michelle L. Casto, M.Ed.
Whole Life Coach, Speaker, and Author

Career experts say that people will change careers (not jobs) 5-7 times in a lifetime. This being true, career management is an important life skill to develop and cultivate. There are six stages of modern career development: Assessment, Investigation, Preparation, Commitment, Retention, and Transition. Learning the characteristics of each stage will empower you to navigate through each stage easily and with more confidence.

In the Assessment Stage, you are getting ready for your life’s work. This stage is characterized by unawareness, in that you are not sure what your values, strengths, and weaknesses are. You start to feel like you want to know more about yourself and make a conscious effort to get in touch with who you really are.
Key characteristics:
§Taking assessment instruments
§Working with a career counselor or career coach

In the Investigation Stage, you are researching what work exists in the world. This stage is characterized by feelings of confusion, in that you are not sure what career options exist for you. You may feel overwhelmed with all of the different jobs and opportunities that exist as you begin the process of researching the modern world of work. But if you approach this stage with a positive frame of mind, you will find that you will learn about many possibilities you may have never considered.
Key characteristics:
§Researching the world of work
§Conducting informational interviews with people in your chosen field

In the Preparation Stage, you are still getting ready to do your life’s work. This stage is characterized by feelings of excitement, as you think of how wonderful it will be to perform meaningful work. However, there is still much work to be done, and in order to be successful, you have to be prepared.
Key characteristics:
§Gaining knowledge and experience
§Setting goals and adopting a success-oriented mind-set

In the Commitment Stage, you will feel confident, in that you have figured out what you are meant to do. Sometimes people have known all along what they were meant to do, but were not able to commit to the process of making it happen, for whatever reason. At this stage, more than ever, you must focus your energy and keep your eye on the target.
Key characteristics:
§Conducting a job search
§Negotiating and accepting a job offer

In the Retention Stage, you will feel comfortable in your career field, as you will now have figured out how things work in your industry. You will want to remain committed to your career by continually updating your skill set and staying current with industry standards.
Key characteristics:
§Providing first-class customer service skills
§Building a professional network

The Transition Stage is characterized by feelings of discomfort, in that you are unsure of what you will be doing next (and/or if you will be happy). In this stage, you will learn to make conscious changes in your career direction.
Key characteristics:
§Making career changes
§Developing resiliency

No matter what career stage you find yourself in now, you can be sure that you will enter and re-enter through these six stages many times though out your lifetime.
