The sound of the radio show host voice routinely wakes me at 5:00 am each morning. I feel it's much better than the alternative. A piercing beeping sound that my clock manufacturer offers. I might lay there in bed, taking a moment to dream of a much better life. Oh how I would like to wake up, go jogging for 5 miles, come back home, take a hot shower, eat breakfast while reading the morning paper, and then turn on the television to watch the morning news. Afterwards, I would walk over to my desk, turn on my laptop computer and go to work. Yes, I would love to work from home. But soon, my morning announcer reminds me of the time. My dream fades away and I roll out of bed to start my ritual of getting ready for my hour commute to my J.O.B.

As I ride the bus downtown, I take a look outside the bus window (if I'm lucky to get a window seat) and watch the millions of Americans driving in traffic, rushing to get to their corporate cubical. I've watched this view so many times over the years that I feel like Bill Murray in the movie Groundhog Day. I just want this picture to stop.

Is there any escaping what seems like a prison sentence? I believe there is. And there hasn't been a better time in history for Americans to break free from the corporate shackles than now. With the growing number of people earning a living at home with an internet business, hopes really does seem alive. Unfortunately, there is only a three hour window of opportunity to make that happen.

After I come home from work, I have a choice to either continue my normal routine. Check my email, cook dinner, turn on the television, talk to a friend, spend a hour talking to my girlfriend, and before you know it, it's bedtime for Bonzo. And then, look forward to waking up again the next morning to hear my favorite announcer's voice.

This has been the routine for twenty years. I don't think I can stomach another twenty years of my employer giving me two days to enjoy life. So I'm digging my escape route out with the three hour window to create my home based business. Won't you join me?
