Hey everyone, hoping to get some quick ideas and feedback for a situation I’m in.
Short Story Version: I’m guiding my girlfriend towards the fast lane approach to life and need ideas for jobs she can do remotely. Her computer skills are currently somewhat limited so I’m thinking sales would be a good starting point.
Long Story Version: I’ve had my own business for nearly a decade now and can work from wherever I want doing PPC/SEO consulting. My girlfriend was in the extremely slow lane when I met her but, partially thanks to my lighting a fire under her a$$, is now back in school to complete her degree and deeply interested in getting out of the restaurant service industry. We had a conversation the other night about how badly she wants out of it, so I had her write down her “why” so she can always refer to it in order to get motivation.
I’d like for her to be able to work remotely like myself and have thought about teaching her what I do, but for the sake of general sanity in our relationship I think it may be better for her to learn a different skill set and find something else to do that doesn’t require her presence in an office. The only thing that really comes to mind is some sort of sales position. This could help her exercise that muscle and gain a lifelong skill since we’re all selling something, including ourselves, at one point or another.
Anyone have any ideas? I’ve convinced her to hold off on summer school in order to focus her energy towards a new way of making money that can get her out of the service industry and allow her more freedom of time.
