Hi, welcome back to Super Humans,
the place to be,
if you're looking to create a fabulous career,
and master your life.

And while you're there,

so YouTube lets you know every Sunday
when I post a new video.
Now in today's video,
we're going to break down my foolproof strategy,
on how to get a working from home job, step-by-step.
I've been working from home, as you probably know,
for the past six and a half close to seven years now.
And I've been coaching dozens of individuals,
on how to be working remotely, four years already.
So let's get straight into it.
Step number one, is understanding your why.
And I'm gonna start with this,
because this is so, so critical.
Unless you're very clear,
on why you want to have a remote working job,
then this is not going to be easy for you.
And I'm not saying that you should just ask yourself why,
and be pleased with the first answer
that comes to your mind.
Ideally, you want to keep poking for better
and deeper reasons.
There are some people who say
you need to do it five times,
others that say you need to do it seven times.
Really, it's up to you, as long as you are clear,
that that is the true reason
why you want to have a working from home job.
It's usually not because you want to earn more money,
or not because you hate commuting to work.
If, let's take for example,
commuting to work, you think is a time wasted.
Then ask yourself why you think that?
And once you have an answer, ask yourself again,
why do you think that?
After you do it five or six or seven times,
I promise you you'll come to an answer
that is deep enough for you to feel
that it's the right motivation
to look for a working from home job.
Unless you have that motivation coming from within,
it's not going to be easy when you face the challenges
of working from home.
And if you haven't watched my video,
where I talk about loneliness, while working from home,
which I'm gonna link somewhere up here,
then I encourage you once you're done with this video
to go and watch that one,
because you might understand,
what are some of the challenges of working from home.
So, just to wrap up on this one,
understanding your why is critical,
because it will help you uncover that inner motivation,
that will not allow you to slack or step back
whenever you face challenges.
Because working from home has challenges as well.
Step number two, know your outcome.
I promise I'm gonna get into the nitty gritty details
about finding the job itself.
But I promise you, this is so much more important
than getting to that.
Knowing your outcome is critical,
because you will know exactly what to look for,
once you figure out what is your desired outcome.
Why do you wanna work from home,
and what do you wanna get out of it?
How does an ideal day look like for you?
Where are you working from?
How long do you work?
Who do you interact with?
What do you do?
How do you feel at the end of the day?
Once you figure all of this out, I promise you,
finding the job itself is gonna be so, so much easier,
because you will know exactly what to look for.
Once you understand your why,
and you understand your outcome.
Step number three,
know what you want to do.
And, this is a combination of many things.
It's based on your skills.
It's based on what you love to do,
based on what you know very well to do,
what you're outstanding at.
There are so many frameworks that you could use
to figure out what is it that you should be doing?
If you'd like me to talk more
about how to find your ideal job,
then please let me know in the comments below,
like this video,
and I would be happy to create a video,
where I share with you the frameworks
that I use with the people I coach,
on how to find your ideal job.
Let me do it very quickly here for you as well.
There are things that you're very good at,
you need to figure what those things are,
and try and find a job that is catering to them.
There are things that you're very passionate about,
and that you would like to do the entire time of the day,
or for your entire life.
You might not be very good at them,
but you're very passionate about them.
Try and understand what they are,
and ideally where that overlaps with the things
that you're very good at.
Then that is the sweet spot, that you should be focusing on.
In my coaching business,
I have a number of frameworks as I said
that I use with the people I coach.
One of them is called tend to teach.
Another one is ikigai that if you haven't heard of,
I encourage you to go and research and many, many more.
Try and figure out what is it that you want to do,
and I promise you working from home
is going to be so, so enjoyable for you,
and finding that job is going to be piece of cake,
once you know exactly what you want to do,
and you have the right reasons to do that for.
All right, step number four,
where to look for a job.
So, now that you know your why and your outcome,
and you figure out what you want to be doing
as a remote work, or remote job,
then time has come to look for one.
And there are multiple platforms,
where you can be looking for an online job,
or working from home job.
Those are some of the platforms that I have been using,
with the people I've been hiring,
to help me and work with me in my business,
and I encourage you to use some of them as well.
I am not familiar with all platforms,
so I cannot talk about all of them,
which is why I'm only going to be talking
about some of the ones that I have been using myself.
First of them, Upwork.
It's probably the one that I have been using the most.
I have found most people I collaborate with through Upwork.
It's simple, it's easy, it's trustworthy.
You can see there the companies
that you are applying to work with,
or they can see more details about you,
about the projects that you've been working on,
about your work history on Upwork.
And it makes it so easy
to find the right collaboration partner,
the right fit that you need to be looking for,
when you are trying to find a working from home job.
Another option for you is Fiverr.
If you're particularly somebody
looking for a more creative job,
like graphic design, like web design,
or social media related work,
Fiverr could be another good platform for you to look into.
Of course, LinkedIn has plenty of job opportunities,
where you can work from home on.
Indeed, Monster, I'm gonna link here
and in the description box below a number of platforms
that I have been using.
Depending on what you have chosen at the previous step,
related to what you want to do,
there's probably some platforms
that are better for you than others.
And if you want to know which ones to look for,
depending on the kind of job that you wanna do,
then I've got you covered.
I will link down below a brochure that we've put together,
with the top 50 best-working from home jobs for 2020.
And in there, we break down for you everything.
We spill all the tea,
we talk about what kind of skills you need,
how much money you can make,
we talk about platforms where you can learn those skills,
but also which are the best platforms
to look for a job of that kind.
You're welcome, link is down below,
you can download it for free today.
Step number five, how.
It is so important to know
how to apply for a working from home job.
Not all the time you will get
to go through a similar interview process,
as you would for a face-to-face job in an office.
So you want to make sure,
that you appeal to your future customer very quickly,
which means that your application letter
needs to be really well-written.
Ideally, you want to create a video or an audio introduction
where you talk about yourself,
and why you are the right person that they could hire
for the particular job that you want to get.
You wanna make sure that your profile
speaks about your strengths,
and the experience that you have in that field.
And with that you will be providing
the right value proposition to your customer,
which is yourself, and your skills, and your experience.
So, if that is something
that you'd like me to talk more about,
I would love to do it.
Please let me know in the comments below,
and I'm happy to make a video where I talk all about,
how to build your value proposition,
when you work from home.
With that being said, now you know my foolproof strategy,
on how to find a working from home job.
I've walked you through my five steps,
that I think are so important for you to follow,
in order to find that perfect working from home job
