These people are facing changes in their life. Read their situations below:
I don’t really feel comfortable with this new idea of telecommuting. I wish I
could come to the office every day I have done for the past 5 years.
My name is Amanda. I am a hairdresser. I work in a beauty shop in the north of
the city. I am a single mother and have two beautiful sons. Mike is nine and
Steve is two. While I work, my mother takes care of my sons. She has always
supported me. But now my mom is really sick. The doctor recommended her
moving to a quieter place. So, she is moving in with my brother who lives in a
small town. If my mother moves, I will probably have to quit my job as I don’t
have anybody to take care of my kids. I wouldn’t leave them with a stranger,
especially the little one.

Dear Amanda.
My name is Jesús. I am a member of the SENA community. I read your story and I want to
give you some advice about your situation.
In my personal opinion, you should change the way you think about things: take it as an
opportunity to learn something new. Explore the situation, adapt to different roles,
responsibilities and contexts. It is important to note that it is not easy to assume
unexpected responsibilities, his life took an unexpected turn, do not be afraid of change.
Invest your money in a hair salon. I think it was a good option. I suggest you visit several
beauty salons and get advice on the business; it is normal to feel very afraid when starting
a new economic activity, it is a challenge to overcome, the fear of failure will always exist, I
suggest you bet on success. In conclusion, I think you can plan other options to invest your
money, but I think your best option is the hairdresser, but if there were the possibility of
making an additional effort such as working from home, you would save a lot of money.
Sincerely
Jesús Suárez
