Work Life Balance – EarthyRealist.com

Last year I wrote an article on my blog on why some peoples businesses weren’t successful. I thought it was too direct but to my surprise it end up getting a decent amount of views.

As I’ve mentioned before, social media makes starting a business look easy. And I’ve seen people who believed the hype then became frustrated when things didn’t work out.

Two things I’ll share with you:

Just because you sell a product, launch a website, that doesn’t mean people are going to automatically buy from you.
Trendy articles about specific demographics having success should not be your sole motivation for starting a business.

I pride myself in being a realist. It’s helped me in many areas of life and business. My goal is to help others win before they fail.

Sincerely,

Aura Bea Carter

Glassdoor released its top job for 2022 based on earning potential, overall job satisfaction rating and number of job openings

A six-figure salary and the option to work from home? It sounds too good to be true.

Job openings are rising, while workers continue to quit. The number of vacant jobs hit 10.9 million in December, up from 10.6 million the previous month, the Labor Department said this week. The job openings rate was steady at 6.8%.

The COVID-19 pandemic has made people reassess the role of work in their lives. Workers are burned out and looking for better benefits, shorter commutes, higher salaries and — critically — a more accommodating work-life balance.

If they spend eight hours a day at work, they don’t want to be unhappy and stressed out. Some workers, some polls suggest, are even fed up with how their employer treated them during the pandemic, and told their boss they had enough.

“Wages aren’t keeping up with inflation, so the only way for most employees to either get a step up in salaries is either to find a new firm or have one foot out the door,” Scott Brown, chief economist at Raymond James, told Barron’s.

On Wednesday, the careers website Glassdoor released its annual 50 Best Jobs in America for 2022. With so many workers on the move as we enter Year 3 of the pandemic, it makes particularly timely reading.

Once again, tech workers came out on top. Enterprise architects were No. 1 on Glassdoor’s list. They have a median base salary of $144,997 a year, 14,021 job openings and a satisfaction rating of 4.1 out of 5.0, according to the report.
