Your Fortune Formula

Looking out of the window early on Monday morning, I gave a thought for those of you travelling up and down the motorways, rushing to get to work. Part of my concern was rooted in the dangers I had experienced doing the same thing every morning for years on end. My thoughts were reminding me of the often futile efforts made to ensure I was not a minute later than expected by myself and, of course, my boss. Yet nobody could predict the behaviour of that toxic blend of damp or misty weather and those tired drivers when in charge of killer cars weighing close on half a ton and travelling between 50-80 mph.

The rat-race of getting to work was one thing, the mixed emotions of challenge and unfairness, friendships (some out of adversity) and a strained work-life unbalance was another. Together, the ingredients of the mix made for an unlikely happiness for any sustained period of time. Most people wanted to find an alternative to the routine that determined, in an uncompromising way, their state of health and wealth plus that of their families too.

Understanding and 'feeling' the past is vital for planning the future. The need for change hits everyone at some time in their life, so a reminder of the good times as well as the bad can help you drive a balance for work and family life, wealth and lifestyle, having fun and learning new things. Some of us need praise, some need challenge and others are motivated by money alone. Yet a healthy mix of all of these can be the preferred recipe for many more. They crave fulfilment in the form of Flexible Hours, a Regular High Income, Social Interactivity, Family Time plus Good Health & Personal Safety i.e. (Fulfilment = FH + RHI + SI + FT + GH&PS).
This formula evades most of us only because it is rarely offered and planned out, interpreted and expressed to match or cater for individual situations. A simple explanation is needed to let people know what options they have and how to go about selecting the optimum way forward.

Individuals can and should decide for themselves what is best for their future. The time has come for a major uprooting of employment and financial constraints on the family unit. The chance to break free from employment control and conventional formalities around working time restrictions has come. The Internet and its associated technology can now present us with opportunities for learning anything and everything to fashion our lives as we choose. It is now possible and fast becoming commonplace to find people giving up their early morning rush on the motorway for a much safer and enjoyable cup of coffee and a seat at their computer in the back bedroom of their home.

From my office window, slightly open to allow a comfortable level of fresh air to circulate, I listen to the deep and continuous roar of motorway traffic 2 miles across the open fields. I smile as I imagine many more drivers in the next five years pulling off the motorway at Corley Services to relieve their frustration with a determination to plan their exit from that mad rush to work. Instead, they will join the new rush hour, a much more comfortable one; they will work from home and probably get embroiled in a different type of rush. The race is on to secure lucrative Internet Business traffic.
