I know there are many more but I decided to blog about the Top 3 Reasons Why Working From Home Is Great! Let me know what you guys think and if you agree with my reasons. I do not work from home yet but would like to in the near future.
That was a quick read, but I believe there are more reasons to start this online journey as you said. Sure you're in control, can decide to an extent how much you earn and you can work when you want. Quick example: spending more time with your family (which is a tad more important in my view of things), no more commuting to work, no more deadlines (unless you impose them on yourself ), you can work from anywhere in the world (at least if there's an internet connection) you can all probably think of a few other good reasons why having a "home based job" is sweet all the best, jobic
Amen to that...Working from home is amazing! However, staying organized and focused can be more difficult than working with a boss. (It's still VERY worth it!) =)
The guide was way too simple and didn't go into depth. I think working at home has a lot of drawbacks. First, you have to keep extra special watch on what you spend- because 30% of american income is taxed. You need to save that money, not spend it. You aren't as motivated as you would be at a job. If you can sit around watching TV eating doritos for 3 hours and work 1 hour, you'll do it. At a job, you'd work 4 hours with a 10 minute break. Staying at home means that you aren't getting enough exercise. Not all jobs require strenuous activity, but many do have some kind of workout involved. Sitting at your computer all day eating junk food contributes to poor health. Your eye sight may deteriorate as a result of looking at a computer screen for long hours at a time. Jobs at home are on average less stable than physical jobs. You are more likely to fail at home than to get laid off. (provided you are an exemplary employee) etc, etc.
Yeah I agree zac, thanks for taking it a step further. I was going too but decided to keep it simple at the end, since most of my posts have been fairly large. I can sit on my computer and eat junk the whole day and not gain a pound, but being social has its benefits.
I agree totally with this. I think it's really important to keep a handle on your money, and if you're like me, I hate crunching numbers. I would definitely need to employ a financial advisor of some sort. I disagree. I am so much more engaged by my online endeavors...I rarely get up once I sit down...which is when I get home from my 9-5pm. Time is of the essence if I ever want to quit and work from home full-time. Also...if you are serious about creating an income while working at home, then you work area should be separate from your play area. For all intents and purpose, your "work" computer shouldn't have you "play" stuff on it at all. Business accounts only. Exercise is important; however, I think a lot of people would be surprised that the average person burns 1100 calories doing office work...the same as one might burn while cleaning. Courtesy of Fitness.com . I believe this frighteningly true. If you find one method that makes you money online, you should milk it until you find the next one. I feel that one must always be searching and evolving with the internet. It's precarious. Very good points, Zac...way to keep it real.
most people failed since leek of discipline and motivation to work ourself. Time management also important, to take care family relations and job at the same time.
Hi everyone, Growing up, my family and I went without a lot in life. I decided at a young age that I would become successful and share my success with everyone I could. Having followed Mr. Trump and all his books, CD's and everything else I could get my hands on, he now has endorsed the next big opportunity for anyone looking for that one chance. If you are seeking financial freedom in the next 2 to 5 years, I have something you will hate to miss. Donald Trump had a team of his professionals research our business for one full year. Do you know what they found? After one year of research, Donald Trump has given us his endorsement. Not only that, he has gone on record on our DVD presentation where he says ".....this is probably better than real estate".....and this opportunity is "......ultimately a dream come true". Residual income, unlimited income potential, and a support structure almost unheard of in our line of work. We are currently in 20 countries, we did over $500 million in revenue last year, we have quadrupled in the last 5 years, we are going into South America this year, and we have 65 more countries we are expanding into..(China will be in then next 1 to 3 years) And according to Mr. Trump now is the time to get into the business"....before we hit critical mass". If this sounds like something you may be interested in, please let me know as soon as possible. My team is exploding and looking to help as many people as we can realize their dreams. The information is free and I PROMISE YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY!! You may decide it's not for you, but the potential and opportunity available are parallel to none. Mr. Trump staked his reputation on it. I'm excited to talk, and I look forward to hearing from you soon. Sincerely, Jake Clark email: retirewithresidualin5@hotmail.com
I'd like to add that working at home gets you too many distractions. You have a TV across the room, lots of food on the fridge, and noone to scold you for playing games. Discipline really is the key here.
My personal reasons for working from home is simply that I am a hermit. I also agree with those three top reasons I love having control over when I should go to work.
That is true, but as a CPA I have to say there can be financial advantages to working at home. For example, one of my computers and printers have been written off my taxes because I work at home, I couldn't do that when I worked for someone else. I also spend a lot less on gas because I don't have to commute 60 miles each day. I have to disagree, I worked 60+ hours per week when I was working for others, I work more hours now. If you are the type of person you describe than you shouldn't be working for yourself, but it isn't necessarily true of everyone. I worked in front of a computer before, I still do, but now I eat better because my lunches where previously fast food, I don't buy junk food for home. I also workout more now because I am not wasting a couple hours a day commuting to and from work. Yes, it is difficult to be successful as a small business owner, of any type. More than 75% of small businesses fail, some say the percentage is as high as 90%. Working for yourself is difficult, it requires both a strong desire to be successful as well as a broad range of skills that most people do not possess. There are a lot more people who can earn an extra income online than who can make a living working online. My $0.02, Tom
