11 Reasons Why Working From Home Rocks Your World

So true lol, especially if you're addicted to forums like dp and spend hours a day reading threads and learning. Also I've tried this for so long and haven't made money at all just loss them; I guess its partly cause I can't commit to a single thing. alteast now I know blogging isn't my thing and also not to outsource work too freely it cost you too much and quality is at risk.

 

I work from home too ... have been for the past 6 years. I agree, to a large extent, with your sentiments. Which is quite unfortunate!

Working for someone else need not always be a bad thing. Because not everyone has the choice or disposition to go solo or start their own business. The world needs employees!

But it needs good employers too.

I just think more employers should make an effort to make working in their organizations feel less like imprisonment, as you so aptly have described.

I have a friend who runs a small IT company and he does a brilliant job. Many of the things you describe don't exist in his business. For instance ...

- they don't have a dress code
- they can set their own hours and take days off when they need to
- the culture doesn't allow them to be grumpy and difficult

So, it's possible to be employed and happy. It's just unfortunate that it's such a rare thing.

I guess my post is to encourage anyone who's an employer to make an effort to create a happier work environment for their people. It pays. Happier employees do better work and also make the world a better place to live in.

 

i have been working on my own business from sometime. i am not sure how much does it pays if you do not build your links properly.

 

I also work from home also and it sure does have a lot of benefits.

He's not saying you don't have to work at all, he said you get to choose when you do work -- there's a big difference.

Also, I don't know about you but I don't need 12 hours a day to develop resources and skills or to maintain projects... Maybe 9 in the beginning, but 12 is a lot. Even for newbs.

 

Well said.. however even with my son I do tend to get lonely.. most of my friends are still in school while I finished years ago.. Thanks for this post..

 

Very inspiring, Wolf! What you described is my longterm goal and it's encouraging to see so many people working from home. It's especially wonderful to see mostly positive feedback to your list. So many of the people I meet are under the mistaken belief that working from home is very grueling and that corporate jobs are luxurious comparably. I'm glad to see this corporately propagated myth slowly diminishing in power. Keep doing what you do!

 

The line -working for yourself online is harder than working a regular job- made me smile. I can agree on that one. Online, you can get yourself to work at mornings, afternoons, nights, at all times there is something more you can do. There's no 09.00-17.00, it's 00-24. It's not easy to have an online business with a steady profit in these early days of the Internet era.

 

Why I like working from home. Hmmm....

1. I can sleep in.
2. Freedom.
3. Good money.
4. Film my own custom porn to my liking.
5. Have others finance my hobbies and sexual interests.

Not a bad life.

 

it`snice to see that it works for you

 

Another great thread for me to read -- got too many this morning haha

Your points are whimsical, but absolutely valid. I have been working from home since I was a kid, and I won't trade it in for a million-dollar, golden laced office!!

 

Working from home has made me a lot lazier. I woke up at 2pm today ><

 

Something to look forward to!

 

Excellent stuff. I like how you throw the positives out in the open, but I'm curious to know what you will think of my opinion on the topics you mention because I'm more of a negative/realisic person then the positive/realistic person you are.

I agree that its more open when working for yourself. This is actually pretty important to me because I'm more of a nighthawk so I enjoy the get up at noon and stay up late. I own a pet store that I run and I set the hours to 11:00am until 8:00pm which the public loves so much.

This I don't agree with. Basically you are trying to cut yourself away from the world which is tough because when you try to go back in it, you won't fit in. Without certain guidelines such as waiting for the bus and traffic your life starts to flop because it keeps you balanced with responsibility over freedom. Too much freedom will make you a unmotivated punk. Its tough to work at home.

The thing is 99% of the public need to be supervised otherwise they will do nothing and go nowhere because the majority of people do not have the ability to be self motivating. They just fall and fall until they are done when doing stuff alone.

You mention only one type of job here. There's many high salary jobs which not require for you to act like some old grandpa all assertive n' stuff.

Nope. You can't. Just because you don't have a boss does not mean you don't have the responsibilities of work. This is where I tell you that if you think like this then you should get a boss because of what I said in No#3. Don't forget that if you don't make money no one is there is make it for you.

You got this right. A bunch of people together is never good. It doesn't matter how good of a worker you are, they will just expect more from you while all of the 22yr old blondes can just be retarded. And you can't choose them either so who knows what dink will be near you. However........you can't fire workers because you still may NEED them so its not that easy.

This one is complete BS. If you say your worth $30,000 on an annual salary does not mean you are getting $30,000. Come on, be realistic here.

Yep. In the middle of the week your not feeling too hyped and you know that if you do work you'll probably spend 5 hours on an hour project so why not just pick up the pace the next day. I agree. Work at the most efficient time. Take too many days off then you'll be eating dog food because you'll be broke(luckily my pet store carries Orijen NO#1 Food of the year so you'll stay healthy, at least)

Maybe I'm wrong on this one but doesn't the typical parent want to get them away from the parent for a break.....I don't know, I don't got kids, and I doubt I will reach my financal goal in order to have them before my deadline, so meh....

True. I remember working at this plant and looking around and just watching the millions get wasted away, and it doesn't matter what I tell those idiots. They will still just do the same stupid thing anyway because it only matters who says it, not what its about.



I don't know man. I think you are being a little unrealistic. There's only a small fraction of people that can actually handle making a living all by themselves without any supervision. Its just the way it is. There's tons of people in DP who I wish would just go and work at Mcdonalds' and quit wasting their time.

 

mm it is true working at home according to your own schedule is good however that statement of '$1,000,000,000' being paid to work at someone's schedule is far out of line people would cut their legs off for that amount of money.

 

It is threads like this (the original post anyway) that keeps them around. You'd have to be an idiot to buy into this stuff.

There are good reasons for working for yourself, but the only one that really matters is the ability to pursue opportunities and work your plan as you see fit. This however becomes a shattered dream for the 99% of the population that isn't creative enough, doesn't have a natural business sense or the technical know-how. If you are lacking even one of those three in this business, you are DOA.

 

Nice information but you does not tell us which online business we have to do if you told that everyone will be tank full to you and if does not know then why are you just commenting on others .....

 

Get me a spoon please....

 

Cutting out a commute doesn't make me anti-social or unmotivated. It gives me more time in the day to do what *I* want to do.

IF this statistic holds water, then... good for them, NOT for me. I wasn't talking to people seeking employment, just like I wasn't talking to non-diabetics about the benefits of an insulin pump.

Nearly all of your responses can be answered with "I wasn't speaking to that demographic."

Good for them. I'm speaking to the niche of people who want to be "former employees".

Should I mention ALL of the jobs in the world?

Look, if I had named every single exception to all 11 of the benefits I had named, we'd be here for three days reading a dissertation.

I was citing ONE example in ONE situation of what you don't have to put up with. Yes, I realize there are plenty of jobs out there that don't require suit and tie, obviously. I wasn't speaking to them.

Who makes the vacations and when are they made? That was my point.

For people who have made it, they CAN take vacations when they want to. Again, WHO I'm talking to here is key. I'm talking potentials. Nothing wrong with that.

Some people need to be supervised, as you have said. Most entrepreneurs, I'd think, don't want to be supervised, they'd rather supervise. There is much less attitude directed at the boss when you are the boss.

Um... I WAS being realistic. I never said you'd automatically get what you were worth. Never said that at all.

I wasn't saying it takes a magic wand and voila, you'll have the amount you want. You have to work for it... hopefully this is obvious.

I was saying you have an income ceiling working for someone else. If you work hard, are realistic and know what you are doing, you can earn MUCH more from home. Mike Dillard? Dan Kennedy? Yanik Silver? Countless other achievers? Try telling them what you just told me.

The folks here who disagree with what I've written have made the mistaken assumption I'm talking about magical thinking, new agey, hocus-pocus, work from home and you're scott-free stuff. No.

It takes work, I never said it didn't. MY point is the work can be on YOUR terms. That's a good feeling.

One of the benefits, but like all benefits, they can be abused, and, like you said, people will start eating dog food.

Yeah, but I'd think most parents would want to be there when their children have important events. I'm not a parent, nor do I want to be a parent, but that would be my guess based on what other parents have told me they care about.

For me, what is unrealistic is working for someone else. Working for someone else... FOR ME... is an insulting, depriving, soul-wasting, pointless activity.

From now on, whenever I post something, just put "in his OPINION" after it, okay? I'm not making the rules for everyone. I was speaking to a niche. If you'd rather name every single exception to what I've written, fine, but I wasn't speaking to them.

And calling people you don't know "idiots" is smart?

There is NOTHING idiotic about being your own boss, independent with realistic goals and consistent focus and action. You think I'm talking about some magical fairy tale. You're wrong.

You speak as if it doesn't happen or is an impossibility or unrealistic. I'm proof to the contrary.

 

No, you are here to whore your sig.

I looked at your site and ended up having CarbonCopyPro pitched to me. So you must be an affiliate of theirs.

Classic affiliate spam thread. That is all this is.
