I enjoyed this post; there was so much truth in it! As soon as something is regarded as a ‘hobby’, it immediately drops about three quarters down the careers/activities ladder; obviously, if you enjoy doing what you are doing, then it cannot be worth much! This is an attitude worth pondering; has the idea that work (i.e ‘real’ work) must have an element of ‘enslavement’ or ‘enforced negativity’ always been in vogue or is it something that has surfaced over the past few decades with the increase of leisure time (and hobby activities)? Is it possible that the attitude has its roots in our Puritanical past where, if anything was enjoyable, it was most probably sinful? Perhaps the only way around this problem is to discard the word ‘hobby’ and replace it with another word or, as in your case, a phrase, ‘working-from-home’, which, most probably because of the inclusion of the word ‘working’, gives the concept a completely new meaning.
Very interesting and very true. people tend to judge other by their work and social status and how much they earn. Not on how the way they treat others and and the true nature of an individual.
Thanks for sharing :0

Another great post. Strange how our social status is labeled because of our entrapment to a job (“real” job) with little pay for the work that is exerted in most cases. But when you mention that you are having fun and making money as a net”work” marketer you are all of a sudden a second class citizen. Perhaps this is because people have been duped and robbed of their hard earned money to join these so called network marketing, make money easy scams. Truth is not all network marketing companies are scams. You just need to learn the skills to know how to think and react to the opportunities that are out there. As Peter has mentioned, reading Success in 10 Steps is a good starting point. Gain the knowledge and skills that area a must if you ever want to succeed in Network Marketing. We read it and it turned our business around 360*. Now we are making money instead of handing it over to the scammers. Go ahead..read the ebook. It is like a training manual that should be provided by every network marketing company before you join.
Thanks for this post Peter.
