5 Reasons That I’m Going to Tell You About Why I Love to Work from Home
Back in 2010 I was got my life stuck because I must take care of my mom who get really bad situation for her diabetic disease while in the same time I must starting to earn money following my graduation. Leaving my mom for 9 to 5 working was not my choice because there will be a worse condition at anytime so what I did is looking for some other opinion to earn money by staying at home so for this 11 years I am get used to work from home and set everything done with my computer and internet access.
So these is 5 reasons that I could to you about why I love to work from home.
1 – Future Customers are Borderless
I work in wedding photography for primary but hosting a local wedding nearby my city was not my dream because I want more experiences and challenges so this dream bring me into one great niche called destination wedding photography that make me must serving overseas couple in some other destinations outside my city.
Nowadays I live in Yogyakarta but I get use to fly to Bali, Singapore, Jakarta, Hong Kong, Maldives and some other countries to shoot wedding, pre wedding, and portraiture.
Present market are everywhere so if you have a good product and services than you must sell it to many customer on every single countries in this globe. So no matter what you working now but as long as you got beautiful items than go sell it worldwide and open your stores in every countries will costs a lot of money so just stay at home and controlling everything from your home is one great choice.
2 – Enjoy for Owning a Blog and Sell Your Product/Services Worldwide
As a substitute that you don’t have any stores around the world but you must owning a blog and build your business online. You may have any kind of business but if you live now than you must have a blog to run your business. By owning a blog than all you need to promote your product and services is posting it all on your blog and creating good article than able to describe more and more about your product’s benefit and things that make it better than others.
If you never own a blog than you might consider about Bluehost, this is great platform that I use for my own blog, the blog that you visit now because you can get your own domain (name of you blog) and hosting (space of memory for your photos and articles) in the same company.
3 – Stay Close to Your Kids is Wonderful Moment
I grew up as a boy with a broken family situation and my mom must be a single fighter who work in a different city with me so generally I only meet my mom once a month because I stay with the grand mother.
It was so sad!
I know that every kids in this planet always want to stay close with their parents but not for me so since 30 years ago I always dreaming to have a family which I able to stay close with them for 24 hours. Here I could wake up in the morning and make a coffee with my wife than we together cook for our kid’s breakfast even we also take them to bathroom and comb their hair.
It was stressful at the beginning but this is what I looking for since 30 years ago and if you never do it to your family than I suggest you to try it for your own.
4 – Stay Close to My Wife for Whole Day is a Gift
I work together with Nina in photography business since we were a partner in 2008 and till now we’re getting married and have 4 kids we still work together. By the way if you are a person who put love and passion in the same place than working just like me is a privilege even I know for sure that not every person want to work with their wife/husband.
For me, having Nina in my side is giving 2 benefits and these are the facts,
First, when I stay close to her than I never feel photography is my job. For sure we capturing hundred of couple’s memories during wedding, engagement, and portrait but things that I love is we always enjoying our moment following the photo session. Here we can move to other hotels that seems to be cheaper but we can feel how to live like locals and we eat a lot of tasty street food no matter where we go.
Second, I’m only good at taking picture but Nina is someone who has an expertise on calculation and approaching client. We don’t know why but majority of my couple was happy to work with me after I put Nina as my personal assistant. But if I could say something due to this moment is, all my couple love to work with someone who feel like friends and this what we belong to.
What you see below is just our ordinary activity when we’re just stay home, even we’re not a hard coffee drinker but we love to make our own homemade cappuccino at home with using a classic mokapot to make an espresso, french press to shake the milk and creating foam, and using the milk jug to make our latte art, see how we made our cappuccino below,
5 – Able to Cook for My Kids Every Day is a Serious Gift
I provide food for my kids, I know that I’m not that good father I try to cook simple food for my kids before they going to school or even for me and Nina’s lunch. If you read my story on creating Airbnb business at home than you will know that I love cook for my guest too which is mean I personally love to go to kitchen, fire up my stove and put anything that I have in the fridge to make an easy and simple food for everyone.
Now see some of my simple dish that I made at home,
