MY PERSONAL WORK AT HOME STORY.

How My Work from Home Journey Began.

I worked in corporate America for a long time.  27 years to be exact. I began working at a local hospital 10 minutes from my home back in 1990 and I held other positions before settling comfortable as program coordinator of the residency program in medicine.  At the time, I had three young, precious pearls, two that were in elementary school and one in daycare.  I never ever liked leaving my baby girl in daycare, but then my mother retired from Lord and Taylor and volunteered to keep my daughter while my husband and I worked.  I was relieved because I just didn't feel right about leaving my daughter in daycare 8 hours a day, five days a week.  

Each and every day when I picked her up from the daycare center, she would immediately run into my arms the second I walked through the door because she was overjoyed to see me so you can probably understand why I felt such a great joy, a true sense of relief and gratitude to my parents for keeping my little girl because knowing that she would be at home with my parents every day gave me great comfort.  

BACK TO MY STORY.

When I began my career working at the hospital, it was just that; work.  As program coordinator of the residency program, I was constantly faced with endless challenges; people.  It wasn't the work, but the people with whom I worked that gave me the stress.  I learned some of the greatest lessons any individual could ever learn working at the hospital.


One of the most valuable lessons I learned was mastering every aspect of the computer. I became so computer savvy and such an expert, that I was able to help my co-workers and even my supervisor how to do things using the computer that they had no idea about.  While working for all those long years, I also learned that I was being limited in terms of being able to use all of my amazing God-given talents.  Hidden skills, gifts and talents that I didn't even know I had began to surface when I was asked to create a flyer for a conference the residents were having.  Still not thinking about using these gifts to my advantage, I continued to work with diligence each and every day at the hospital, but in the back of my mind I always had dreams of working for myself.  I just didn't know how to go about starting and running a successful and highly profitable home based business, but I would soon learn all the components of building my own work at home business.

LAID-OFF

In January 2002, a new regime joined the department of medicine and things began to change in our department overnight and on June 18, 2002, I was laid off from my position as program coordinator.  It was right then and there that I decided that I was going to stay at home and just enjoy spending quality time with my children for the entire summer.  This would give me an opportunity to plan out, wisely, what I would do when school started in September.  


When September rolled around, I decided that I wanted to stay at home for my family and start my own typing business.  I began to do some serious research about how to start my own typing business.  I found some great information, but I was able to use everything that I learned in my previous position as program coordinator and I did just that. 


MAGIC FINGERS TYPING SERVICE

(Pictured below is the very first flier I designed myself for my secretarial business.  It was then that I also discovered the gift of design)


In October 2002, Magic Fingers Typing Service was birthed.  I designed Magic Fingers in the most amazing way ever.  I created my own flyer that proved to be highly effective in procuring typing and transcribing jobs within days of posting it at colleges and libraries.  My first typing job was to type a dissertation.  I made $650 and then I was asked to transcribe interviews for a professor who was working on his Ph.D.  I made close to $3000 for the transcribing job.  Even though I was making great money, I was fully satisfied.  I wanted more and not necessarily more money, but more in terms of helping others.  I was truly earning an awesome living, but for me, this just wasn't enough.  



BRIGHT SHINING LIGHT BULB IDEAS

Magic Fingers was doing great.  I was getting more jobs than I ever imagined and I was elated, but still, something was missing.  I had all kinds of ideas rolling around in my head and I wanted and needed to get these ideas and create businesses with each and every one.  I was all over the map.  Magic Fingers Typing Service became Magic Fingers Secretarial Services because I was implementing more services to my business.  I was designing flyers, business cards and resumes.  Not long after that, I found myself creating coloring pages for children and then Angel on my Shoulder was founded.  Now this business was geared towards helping and blessing kids with Christian-based coloring pages that quickly turned in coloring books which was an enormous hit with families.  I turned Angel on my Shoulder into a phenomenon giving aways AOMS gift boxes filled with special items and surprises for children whose parents couldn't afford to buy them Christmas gifts.  


One day, as I was surfing the internet, I found a beautiful website filled with all kinds of beautiful designs.  As I was browsing this website, I found a graphic design software listed on the site that had a thirty-day free trial offer that I decided to give a try.  I immediately fell in love with the program and I was designing all kinds of unique and original masterpieces of my own.  I have to say that at first my designs looked okay, but looking back on them now, they look really amateurish.  


MASTERING THE ART OF DESIGN



After working with and using this great software program for thirty days, I was in love.  Designing became my passion and I haven't looked back.  I've been designing since 2002 and now Cyndi's Light Work Designs lives and thrives. www.cyndisdesignz.com. 

I'm still working to get Cyndi's Light Work Designs where I know it has the potential to be and I'm loving every single aspect of promoting and managing it.  I put in long hours, but those hours are highly productive with a sense of enjoyment and peace that encompasses me whenever I create a new design for my tee shirts, mugs and other merchandise.
