There?s lots of good advice on here about working from home, has anyone bitten the bullet and left a well ish paid job and been able to replace their income? I?m in the situation I?m sure thousands of other women must be in. I don?t want to continue my paid work as an employee but have to continue in order to pay the bills.
Has anyone out there actually been able to replace their income by leaving their job and doing other things that they weren?t qualified for? E.g. instead of freelancing or setting up solo doing the job they?d been previously employed to do, has taking on a portfolio of lots of other little bits like usbourne, avon body shop, virgin etc etc actually worked out for anyone?
I work in a large office but on my own (other folk around but noone else doing what I do) that involves a 2.5 hr total daily commute including school and nursery drops and I know in my heart that where I can really make a difference to people is at home, not pushing bits of paper round a desk for my employer.
Experience of others who've done this successfully would be welcome!
