Nobody enjoys hours spent in traffic jams, long delays, queues, and no spare seats. These were just some of the ‘top ten commuter hates’ revealed by British workers in a recent survey. It’s no secret that many of us dread the daily commute, but there are ways to solve this problem!
If you worked from home you could cut out the monotony of the daily commute, and save a heap of money at the same time. We have put together a calculator so you can work out how much you would save by working at home, follow the link to view www.cutthecommute.today.
Work is a huge part of all our lives, it determines not only our routine but our families too. Yes you could save loads of money by not having to fill up the car as often or avoiding the hefty train fare but it’s not just about the financial aspect. Working from home gives you the freedom, flexibility and time to make your job suit you.
It is estimated that we spend over a year of our lives getting to and from work- you can take that year back and spend it doing the things that matter. Here at Travel Counsellors we don’t want you to have to choose between your work and your family- working at home means there is no decision for you to make. Work your hours around taking your children to school or any other commitments you have. Being a Travel Counsellor puts you in control of every aspect of your life allowing you to balance your priorities and make the most of your time.
Without the stress of a commute and the financial benefit of working from home you will be a happier, more productive and energetic Travel Counsellor. At home, doing a job that you love without compromising on the people you love. Achieving a healthy work-life balance is crucial. You can’t put a price on the extra time you’ll have to spend with your family, or to pursue your passions by working from home.
Here are a few examples from our Travel Counsellors showing how cutting the commute can change your life!
Sally Landers- “I have been a Travel Counsellor now for 14 years and my grandson is 10, I love the fact that I can get him from school and he can sleep whenever he likes as I don’t have to stick to set hours. Had I still worked in the high street there would have been none of that and I would have missed out on so much of his life.”
Maxine Staniland “Having time in the morning to get my son off to school and be here when he gets home has been a dream. Helping with homework, attending school events etc is never a problem. I have a very busy business which would mean many hours away from my family if I didn’t work from home yet my son feels like he has a full time Mum – perfect!!!”
Sandra Robinson “You are in control of your hours and can fit your work around your personal commitments. So if you need to pop out for a haircut, or take the kids to the doctor, no-one is going make you feel guilty. Work in the evenings if it is better for you.”
Running your own travel business from home gives you the freedom you need to excel not only in your career but also being an active part of your family and social circles.
