Learn How To Make More Money In Less Time - Why Working 50+ Hours Per Week Is Destroying Your Family

If you love your family, you will read this article.

Do I doubt your love for your family?

Not for a moment.

I am sure you are a person that wants to be an influence in your families life, rather than the stranger that shows up from time to time.

The reason why I make the statement that working 50+ hours per week is destroying your family, simply comes from the fact that if you are not present in your families lives, you are not an influence.

Now, if you are thinking that the 50+ hours is what is required for you to "earn a living" then let's take a serious look at that.

Earning a living, or making enough money to sustain your families welfare is on the surface, an honourable pursuit. If you have to trade too much time for the money you require, then it is only because you are not getting paid enough to work less hours and to make the same money.

Here are some ways you can begin to make more money in less time:

Start your own business and work from home
People are doing this and making enough money to replace their income on a regular business
The tax write-off's are huge
The reduction in your overhead costs like clothing, travel time, vehicle expenses, insurance, food, etc. is huge.
Educate yourself in your field
Become of greater value to the company you work for, take some related courses, they will pay you more if you are worth more to them.
Learn about your competition, learn their strengths and weaknesses and develop a better strategy for your employer, this extra effort will move you up the ranks
Find out where your own company is weak, make yourself strong in that area and get yourself promoted.
Request that your employer allow you to work from home
For this to happen, you must have a job that is not location dependent. Jobs like this exist, do the recommendations in #2 and create this opportunity for yourself.
You will save your employer money
You will save yourself time in commuting
You will reduce your overhead costs
Learn how to be more efficient in your work - this will get you a raise and reduce the amount of time at work.
Plan your next work day before you leave today
Complete the six most important things first, then do the rest on the list.
Allow you to-do list to flow, keep adding to one list and remove the items from it as they are completes. This is the list you will determine the six most important things on.
Stay away from the company chatter; going around and talking with everyone is counter productive, this is robbing you and the company of time and makes you have to stay later to get done what you did not work on while you were chatting.
Take action on one of the four things above, if you do nothing, then nothing will change and likely you will end up working more hours. I rate this list in the order of importance for your consideration.

Figure out a way that you can get back home to be with your family and when you get there, do not just sit down in front of the TV. For you to be an influence, allow your kids to see that you love them, show an interest in what they do. Work with them on their homework, (a real trick to looking smart is have them teach you what they know) instil a good work ethic. Show them how to work smart, not hard.

If you are thinking that you require some special university degree to accomplish what you want to have in life, this is a "sales pitch" that you have decided to buy in to.

You are a person of skill and talent; it is up to you to believe in yourself to make that happen.

I hope this article has assisted you to learn how to make more money in less time and I hope you better understand why working 50+ hours per week is destroying your family.
