Horror of horrors! My Internet connection died this morning and the weight of impending techno-isolation nearly overwhelmed me. Then it dawned on me just how much of a blessing an Internet home business truly is.Copyright © GT Bulmer
http://www.StarrBizz.comYou don't realize how dependent on technology you are until faced with a connectivity dilemma.
My wireless, widescreen notebook computer wouldn't connect to the Internet this morning. I didn't panic. I knew there had to be a reasonable reason.
All lights on the modem were green. Other computer applications seemed to be working fine. I wondered if, during the process of automatic overnight updates, some network setting got changed in my notebook computer.
So, I powered up a desktop computer and ... same problem! No Internet connection!
Work crews were doing some kind of maintenance or installation down the road, so I reasoned that maybe they had disconnected my Internet feed line for some reason. Maybe, if I was patient, the connection would soon come back online.
Well, having learned from past experience not to assume that a service company would automatically know about a disruption problem, I decided to phone my Internet provider to find out what they could tell me. Smart move!
The service tech on the other end of the phone line ran a diagnostic and quickly determined that the local work crew had nothing to do with my connection problem.
Over the next hour, the tech had me jumping back and forth between computers, checking settings, doing diagnostics, and making certain that the problem was not computer-related.
Eventually, we turned our focus back to the modem where the tech instructed me to press the nearly-hidden reset button on the device.
The desktop computer, connected to the modem via a network cable, connected to the Internet immediately!
But my wireless notebook would not. The tech then helped me program a new local network, and
voila - all of my precious technology was back online!
Whew. What an unsettling experience that was! It left me feeling blind, isolated, helpless.
My first reaction was to wonder what good an Internet home business is, if you can't connect to the Internet or have to worry about losing your connection (although I've never before had a problem with this modem).
But then a great revelation dawned on me: I might get temporarily disconnected, but my online business is on autopilot - it carries on merrily without me!
My ads were still running, visitors were viewing my very best tested and proven Internet home business ideas and opportunities, some were signing up for my newsletter and other freebies, even joining my recommended programs ... and all without me being online or having access to the Internet! How can you beat a business with benefits like that?
I realize that not everybody wants or needs these extra online income streams, but let's face it. An Internet home business provides a great alternative and comforting backup for when other unexpected challenges or "disconnections" occur in a person's life.
I used to fear the failure of my Internet connection. Now, I have complete faith that my online business is looking after my income interests even when local technology lets me down! For me, that's just one more convincing reason to work at home and market online.
Sincerely,
GT
