The Real meaning of Virtual Success

These days, we are all over-tasked with our dual Real Life and Virtual Work Life.

Do you ever feel both of them compete with each others?  The more you want to spend time with family and friends in your real face to face life, the less you have time for success in the virtual world, where your presence requires work to actually be visible, have a positive effect on the world, and to ultimately get work, produce something useful and get paid.

And when you get paid money from the Virtual World, you can have a better life on the Real World.

What is Success to you?

We each have different needs, and what I read everyday from people all over the world, is that we all want to make progress towards our own goals.  When I read about people who make lots of money online but who have to lie and manipulate people, that doesn't motivate me to work online...  It turns me down, and that's when I go and spend more time with my kids.

Provide Value

Eventually, I realize that there are many many ways to earn money online doing good work, providing good advice and finding gems of information for people to be more successful. For example, searching the web for legitimate money making opportunities is time well spent, which I know can really help people feed their families in these difficult times where so many people are without work, or have work that don't use their full potential.  One such place where people can find a real job online, and where they are protected as workers is Elance.  If you don't have an account there, get started today and look for your work.

Finding your passion and Drive

Whenever I find I am getting down, or discouraged from lack of progress, I go back and review what I truly want most, what my passions are.  For me, it's all about Life Balance and Freedom.  This is why I am investing time, money and effort into my business, operating in my local area and the virtual World.  So when I keep that focus, I work better and get more results.

But to really get moving and feel I can lift mountains, helping as many people as possible while earning a great living, I need to focus on what positive emotions get me the drive to work the hardest and most efficiently.

If the work was always easy, it wouldn't be work and wouldn't pay anything!  The internet and world of Virtual Work certainly offer big possibilities, and you should look into this Virtual Work opportunity, as it will allow you to make money from your own unique passion.  This is why you need to embark on your passion with a good recipe for success, good coaches and good partners.

My Challenge

Life is sometimes tough so you need to be really consistent.  I know I should be developing my web services on Vwork more, but the truth is I have other activities taking my time and energies away.  To get progress, I have to remind myself that this work is important.  I am frequently reminded of that when I get personal emails from Vwork members asking me for more advice on how to find work.  But to get moving, I have to feel their desire for help and feel my desire for helping people, for progress, satisfaction and income.

I need to keep my Goals in mind, but goals without passion and drive and just dreams.  To make goals happen I have found I need determination and emotional drive.

I get the drive with good thoughts, positive images and emotional guidance from my personal journal and success board.

Your Challenge

To get to the next level of Success in the Virtual World, you need to be convinced that you can follow my simple advice here. It has worked with me, and it can work with you.

  1. Find what your top goals are. Focus on improving just one or two at a time
  2. Find what Emotions drive you towards that goal.  Positive Emotions are good, get pictures and print them, draw them and visualize them in your mind. Make occasional use of negative emotions, think of them when you are hesitating taking the right decisive action.
  3. Take positive and decisive actions to work, provide value and take the attitude that doing anything  dealing with your goals or projects has learning value and will make you better able to do more progress faster.
  4. Review your Goals and Emotional drivers daily to get motivated.
  5. Keep track of your progress towards your goals and adjust your plan when necessary.

This will drive you towards success for any Goals or Project!  Enjoy your Progress, you deserve it!

Why work from Home?

Did you know that the number one reason for people to want to work home is to avoid the daily commute?  I can certainly relate to that!  In Canada's winter, driving on snowy roads can take twice as much time as the summer drive!  That alone was a big factor for me to work from home!

To find work online, it is important to do a good inventory of your skills and have a look at the opportunities for using what you do best.  I give a lot more information about that in my free newsletter.   You'll receive regular tips and info to help you find the best work online for you!

Other reasons to be interested to work from home online might be to earn extra money or expand your skills and open-up new career possibilities.  Those are also excellent reasons, and I can relate to both, but especially the learning aspects of discovering new possibilities.  For example, my work usually deals with project management in a very structured way that does not allow me the leeway to try new things (you wouldn't want aircraft to start falling-off the sky!).  But working online has allowed me to learn new skills

  • I learned how the internet businesses function to reach their goals
  • I learned about global international marketing, in that people from different countries are looking for different things
  • I learned about motivation, because it's not always easy to keep going in a new directions when results aren't visible day to day
  • I learned about writing, because that's the main manner we communicate with customers online
  • I learned about sales and personal relations as providing the right product or services to people requires building relations to learn what people need and to explain what I can provide.

All in all, working online for me has been a great experience and has allowed me to reach new goals, develop new skills, and earn moneys in more ways I thought possible.

Getting more job with more reviews and experience PDF Print E-mail

As we all know, experience is key to work online, but positive reviews are key to build-up a good reputation.  Online, people have to build-up trust and demonstrate their skills in clear and applied ways so that potential employers can get to know you when they are choosing their programmer.  An employer that trusts you will be willing to pay more for the same work, since he will feel more in confidence, and will therefore have less risk of his project not being delivered on time or not meeting its requirements.

As a freelancer, how do you build that reputation so you can start to get selected for jobs?  You should really consider working for open-source software projects, where you can contribute your special skills and then ask for a review to be posted on your online work site.  For example, Firefox and Open Office are two open source projects that require volunteers to contribute. They need programmers, testers, writers and others as well.  Check their site for what volunteers they need.  You can then mention the fact that you work there to gain experience and good reviews.  Post that in your profile, or post comments on your wall after you complete a small project there.

Vwork.com allows already allows you to post external profile username to your profile, but are you using that feature already?

You are never alone when working online but how do you build good qualiy relationships that are productive and on whi you can count?  This is a big issue for all of us who exchane goods and services online.  What happens if you dont get paid after workibg for a week or a month?  What if your remote partner doesn't do his assigned tasks on time... You have to do the extra work or risk your hard earned online reputation.

So why not make sure at the start that you know who you are dealing wih.  Hey, most of these I do before I start working with local partners, so its even more important to do that due diligence when working witih people you have never met and that live in a different country and operate in another culture.

These are meant as good starting points based on my international business experience and business education.

  • Start doing some quick research to learn about their local culture and environment.
  • When discussing with the person, express interest in their background, interests and priorities.
  • Ask for references of past recent work in your area of interest, and for some education provider if possible.  Ask for name, position, project or area worked on, phone number or email.
  • Ask about existing profile they may have in as many work sites as possible such as Elance , oDesk or GoFreelance, which may have reviews from past customers.
  • Similarly, you should go and update your profile with similar information so that others can feel more comfortable with you.
  • Share similar information about you so they understand better what you are about and what you are interested in achieving.

These questions form the basis of a good appreciation for the potential relationship your may be  entering into.  Time invested at this time is well spent and the links you make with partners, customers or friends will last a lot longer and be more productive.

Now, go and build global relationships!
