Work At Home Business In Spain

I live with my wife, two dogs, 4 sheep and 32 chickens on a small farm in rural Spain after retiring from being business advisors in our home country. The idea of living in a rural community in a beautiful part of the world and working from home as always been one of our ambitions.

However we were not lucky to be born with a silver spoon in our mouth so for many years we followed the route of paid employment working for someone else. As an employee many of us are condemned to work doing things we do not like, sometimes with people we do not get on with and doing things we would not normally want to do. We were lucky that we eventually ended up running our own business as start up business advisors helping new and small businesses in their development. This gave us tremendous job satisfaction. However we were still part of the rat race commuting to our office and were working 60 to 70 hours a week. Deep down we wanted something different.

We had always wanted to be our own boss and work from home and had tried several different ways to achieve the ambition prior to running our office based business. When you donʼt have to work for someone else and can work from home you have more chance to move your life in the direction that you would like. This dose not means that life was always easy or things always went in the direction that we wanted.

Working from home running your own business can be rewarding but it also can be very hard work. Starting a home based business can be a daunting task for the best organised person. This week for example the laptop as been behaving badly and the printer refuses to work, the laptop as a virus despite up to date virus software. The only recourse was the old Dell in the cupboard which saved the day until it gave up a few hours later!

We had been in love with Spain for many years and took the decision to work towards moving there which we achieved two years ago. Many of our interests have come together in Spain, the love of a beautiful place in the country, growing our own food and keeping animals, attending auctions and having the time to get to grips with internet marketing. Although we still work hard we are healthier now than we have been for years

On our arrival in Spain we were faced with the ongoing need to make a living. We have developed multiple streams of income from small holding, buying at auctions, selling on EBay and at markets and income from affiliate marketing on the internet. which combined with our small pensions helps to make ends meet and keep the wolfs from the door.

The idea of multiple streams of income is not new, Robert Allen wrote about the opportunities that the internet would bring about in producing multiple income streams. We combined the internet, buying and selling and a rural smallholding to give us our multiple streams of income.

We have income from the farm, olives, almonds, fruit, chickens and eggs. A wide verity of produce from the vegetable plot. Wood from our tree for the wood burner (wood is carbon neutral) fencing and gates. We also harvest rain water and use solar and wind power. We also make money from the internet as affiliate marketers. We are members of a number of programmes that give us a number of different income streams.
