"What do you do?" "Does your husband have a job?" "Are you retired?" Questions on a topic run in spurts. Most recently, it's people asking us what we do for a living. Specifically, website visitors and RVers are asking if we have jobs or if we work.
It's funny in a way, because the people who ask are often our customers. One of the people who asked me this was standing in our store buying Watkins products from me at the time. Another who asked had been reading our Workers On Wheels website and was inquiring about the buffalo jerky he saw advertised there. Another was waiting for Bob to fix
his camper door lock. Folks, these are the things we do for a living!
I have an online website business that includes this newsletter and others. I also write – and sell – magazine articles. Bob does all sorts of mechanical and handyman things. Together, we buy and sell used merchandise (and sort, clean, fix, price,
and market it). We also sell Watkins products and Jerky Direct meat snacks, and coach our teams distributor teams. And, although we seldom mention it, we sell our own artistic creations, too.
You just have to love a lifestyle that gives you work you enjoy doing. It's great to have jobs that are so natural that people
don't even realize you are doing them, even when they are standing right in the middle of them.
I sincerely hope that you find work that is a natural match for you.
Wherever you are in your work and travels, we wish you joy and

When you see the people who are working the check-in desk, cleaning the shower house, mowing the lawn, leading the craft classes, or otherwise doing things around the park, just ask them if they also are staying in the campground. If they are, you'll know you've found a park that offers jobs to RVers. When you are visiting with them, you can also
ask them where they came from, what park they worked at last, and where they plan to go when they finish this job.

Working RVer Tip - Begin Before You Become an Expert
You can start before you are an expert. Perfectionism can paralyze you. If there's a career or job that you want to do, go for it. You can entertain
at RV parks without having a song hit number one on the charts. You can teach a writing class before your novel makes the best seller's list. You can act in historical reenactments even if you've never won an Oscar. And, you can make money doing it. You don't need to be an expert -- you only need to be reasonably good.

A job
description may read, "Ideal candidate will…." And that is exactly what it means: the "ideal." That doesn't say that the person they hire will meet those qualifications or possess those exact characteristics. If you can do the job, and want the job, apply for it. You may find that your qualifications are acceptable, even if they aren't precisely the "ideal" ones listed. "Ideal" means there is some room for negotiation.

The Jerky Business that Lets You Be Location Independent
Campground jobs are convenient, if you want to stay in one place for a month or longer. But, if your desire is to be truly nomadic and to move frequently, you need something else. One location independent way to earn a living is to join me in Jerky Direct. Our training is specific, practical, and RVer tested. No sign-up fee. The only thing you pay
for is the jerky you purchase. More into here.

Positive RVing Attitudes
Sometimes you have to forget what's gone, appreciate what still remains, and look forward to what's coming. ~ Will Smith
You are going to let the fear of poverty govern your life
and your reward will be that you will eat, but you will not live. ~ George Bernard Shaw
