My friend wants to work from home.

With high-speed internet, Skype, and a global economy, the possibility is there. But, after nearly a few thousands dollars in tools, tapes, training, and a long list of fake jobs, she still works a 9 to 5.

Are there legitimate work-from-home jobs out there?

Actually, there are legitimate organizations that offer work-from-home opportunities. The trick is to screen the job announcements for real work-from-home jobs.

Here are a few ways you can tell if a work-from-home offer is legitimate:

Most employees are bound by a strict code. To keep employed, they’re expected to be loyal, dependable, perform tricks on demand, and subvert their own will to the will of the organization.

If this description sounds vaguely familiar, it should. This is basically the description of both a good employee–and a good dog.

In most workplaces, employees are cogs in the inevitable means-to-an-end. And that’s the way they’re treated.

The problem is that most people want to be good employees. It’s tied in with the work ethic that makes these workers feel like they are both a bad employee and a bad person if they don’t offer anything but their best work. On the other hand, they don’t want to be treated like a faithful hound, either.

There are ways, though, that you can be a bad employee, but remain a good person. It starts with the novel idea that no matter who signs your checks, you are always working for yourself.

Here are a couple tips:

Mondays stink.

Unless, of course, you develop residual streams of income. Then, Monday is just another day to earn money.

Residual income is derived from products and services that you work on once and they continue to generate income–perpetually. The internet has opened up more residual income streams than ever. Before, rent and royalties were about the only types of residual income stream available to the common person.

New residual income products and services include:

• eBooks
• Affiliate sales
• Blogs
• Web advertising
• Contextual ads
• Invention royalties
• Video and podcasting seminars

And there are a lot more. To learn more, you can check out the following sites, all of which specialize–in one form or another–in the creation of residual income.

When those pink slips are passed out and those cardboard boxes appear on desks, most workers have pity and remorse for their soon-to-be departed colleagues.

But, it may be the unemployed who should pity the workers who still have a job.

First, the work load will increase without their fellow helpers there to shoulder some of the burden.

Another reason is that while the laid-off worker has accepted his or her fate, the current employees are still left with the anxiety that their positions may be the next head on the chopping block.

And, according to a survey (found in the June 29the edition of the Investor’s Business Daily), workers who are laid-off actually getting their lives together!

In the first step of Being More While Doing Less, inspired by the Accomplishing More by Doing Less book by Marc Lesser, we discussed taking regular time off. This can re-charge your batteries and improve your productivity.

Another way to Be More While Doing Less is to leverage technology.

The internet and other new technologies has created new tools to master your time, the trouble is few people use them effectively and actually lose time by becoming immersed in the time-wasting elements of new tech.

Have you ever watched someone check their email continually? Or do you do that? Most of the times it’s just to read the latest spam message about the latest male performance-enhancing drug.

Other people use new technology to play games and waste time. There’s nothing inherently wrong with that if it’s used in the confines of a time budget; the problem is some folks don’t set a time limit for this type of activity and it consumes way too much of their day.

Instead of using technology to waste time, use it to make time.

The web can be used for research, communicating, and organizing. One great resource for this is Lifehacker.com, a site that helps you get things done. Whether you want tools to land a new job, or ways to tap Photoshop magic, Life Hacker can help.

Since we deal with financial matters at Online Investing AI, we recognize that making money, budgeting money and spending money can consume great big, heaping, steaming, bowls of time. In fact, we’re creating Automated Trading systems to make money for people, so they aren’t stuck at a computer all day watching the marketing and making trades. It’s a trading autopilot without the exorbitant fees of financial managers.

But there are other ways to leverage technology to help manage your money. We like Mint.com as one site that merges all of your financial accounts for better management (and to cut down on fumbling around looking for account statements). The internet is full of resources like Mint.com, as well.

To learn how relaxation can actually help you check out yesterday’s post to Be More By Doing Less.

Check out Step 3 to Be More By Doing Less, Master Your Time, which will appear tomorrow.

Obviously, we believe that autotrading, specifically an autotrading system that uses advance technology to select high-return, low-risk investments, should be a part of your wealth-gathering portfolio.

A good autotrading system can deliver returns to that mutual funds and other common investment vehicles simply can’t deliver. They’re too bureaucratic and clunky. They tend to treat individual investors as “also-rans” compared to their wealthy clients. And, they eat away at their own returns with non-performance based fees.

Online Investing AI systems, on the other hand, will be devoloped to be nimble and generate great returns. The goal is to place the power of investment tools, technology, and strategies once held by only wealth investors and hedge fund managers into the hands of individual investors and traders. Who do we consider individual investors and traders? Every single human being on the planet.

So, should you drop all your mutual funds, index funds, ETFs, IRAs, 401Ks, and savings accounts, and even smash up the piggy bank to invest in Online Investing AI? I don’t recommend that either. I suggest taking a balanced approach at investing with autotrading being an integral part of it. If the system returns exponential returns, it will automatically take up the center of your overall investment strategy. The other investments can still be utilized as long as it suits your comfort-level and risk-tolerance.

Wealth without freedom is not wealth at all. The first step of financial freedom is to develop an investment strategy that works for you… and works with you.
