Working from home, is it really worth it?

I just really love the fact that I can just get up, park my behind behind the screen and start working in my undies, while talking to a big shot from some multinational on Gtalk I always try to picture the dude suit and tie, with me in front of him in my underwear

I never get tired of that little fact

 

It is worth it to me. I do not think I could ever return to Corporate America.

1. Freedom.
2. Money.
3. Being my Own Boss. Answer to No One.
4. Implement my Own Ideas.

 

Yes...there are so many different options and possibilities

 

The only bad parts about working from home is the lack of social interaction and the fact that it can be difficult to stay focused.

 

Lots of freedome and it's nice to sleep in. It's worth it but it's very important to be organized and not slack off and try to work on a set schedule.

 

That is so true it hurts! Everyone working from home, should have this printed out and hanging above his or her desk!

 

It's is totally worth it!

 

I love working from home. Why? Because it has given me the ability to meet everyone of you guys....well not meet but meet online. You know what I mean. Please stop it! I have to get back to work

 

I think it's worth.. because at this position you don't need to go to office regularly. But it is most important thing, that you spend your time in proper work, not for any bogus Home Based Online Work..!

 

Moment that I'm waiting for, more freedom & be the boss myself

 

It is not easy, i was made redundant last year and for the first 6 months have worked 9-5 mon-fri, learning, developing websites, selling, etc....have made 0 profit because any money i have made i have put back into the business for equipment software etc. Just try and stay positive thats the key...

 

drees , i am also like you , but i earn 100$ in first month for "website making" , with out investment ...... you can ask !! HOW ITS .... i used Ubuntu os , Quanta plus software , cssed , gimp and inkscap ... and php (lamp) ...... on first month i worked only 5 days ...

I put advertisement in local classifieds Ads only

 

Absolutely, I was working from home three years ago and now finally I have a small business, workers and my own office. Just be patience, learn and take some risk

 

You can always get a part time job and then work at home the other times. Your work at home may not take off as soon as you want so you know... precautions.

 

In my experience, I became much more productive once we got our own office space.

 

It is really good to have this wonderful opportunity to work from home, technology has brought this freedom and it is one of the most popular methods of working these days.

 

I think working from home is a great idea. One it gives me more control over my time. Two, it allows me to be in a better position to do something I am passionate about.

The issue I see is that a lot of people think owning a business is working 4 hours a day and making 6 figures. In most cases this is not the truth. You are most likely going to be working harder than in a normal job. The main difference is that if you love your work it is not going to feel like work.

 

working at home is totally awesome. there are lots of benefits that you can get. you also saves lots of time and effort. there are many people who are already active on the online business and i can say that many are quite enjoying it.

 

People seem to think that you need discipline to work at home. How do you get things done when there are so many draws away from work. I find the opposite problem. I'm always being drawn to work at home. (I guess that's another type of discipline you need.) On balance, however, it makes sense to work at home - especially from a tax perspective. Lots of write off on things you'd buy anyway, like your computer, internet access etc. Also, claiming rent helps too!

 

Working from home is great for me. I hate taking orders from someone, I do things in my own way at my own pace. So far working from home has been more profitable (not by much) than sitting 8 hours a day in a cubicle.
