5 Reasons Why You Should Work From Home!
In today's tumultuous economy, more and more people are making the decision to strike out on their own and work from home for themselves
. As we watch bricks and mortar businesses, and even major corporations, restructuring, downsizing, or going out of business altogether,most of us have come to realize job security, when working for someone else, doesn't really exist anymore. As people get called upon to do more and more for their employers for less money and fewer benefits, many are becoming tired of working so hard to make someone else wealthy in a traditional work scenario.
It will be interesting to see the results of the 2010 census in regards to the number of people working from home. The US department of Labor suggests that as of 2007, as many as 1 in 3 workers were doing at least some of their work from home, even if they maintained a more traditional job outside of the home. Statistics suggest that a significant number of these folks working from home are doing well indeed. According to Money Magazine, 20% of work at home businesses gross between 100K and 500K per Year!
Aside from it being the obvious growing trend, you may ask why you should take the plunge and join the ranks of the work from home. There are many reasons, enough to fill a book, but for today I'll give you 5 reasons why you should work from home:
1) You will save a lot of money. When you consider the cost of your commute, work clothes, eating out (including for many the lure of the vending machine) your away from home job actually costs you money. When your job is home based, you can sit around in sweat pants and a t-shirt all day and as long as you do what needs done- you are golden! Get hungry? Go to your own kitchen and make a snack. Save the wear and tear on your car and your nerves by shortening your commute to a trip from your bed to your desk!
2) Working from home saves time. Not just travel time; In a work from home scenario, you can choose to align your work schedule with your most productive time of day- or night. Let's face it, not everyone is at their best at 9 AM (I'm not!). If your most productive time of day is midnight, when all the kids are asleep and you have time for yourself, by all means- work at midnight. You won't have far travel... Also, when you are no longer working on some one else's schedule, you can modify your work hours and find ways to be more efficient. Many home based businesses offer ways to automate at least part of the work. There are lots of time saving software options available as well- some of them free to use.
3) You will be doing this for yourself, for reasons important to YOU. No longer will your goal be to make money for someone else. Because your success depends on your willingness to work on creating your own wealth, you have excellent motivation to succeed. If you choose your business wisely, your job stability and security will be up to YOU. Working from home can be a confidence boosting and empowering experience.
4) A work at home job done primarily online, can be worked anywhere that has an internet connection; meaning it isn't just a work from home job, it's a work from a cafe in Italy job, a work on a park bench while your kid plays on the swings job, a take your wireless card camping and work under the stars job. Your child has first lead in a play at school at noon? Wonderful! Work before or after and be at that play! You get the idea. You won't miss out on what's important to you because you have to be at the office.
5) Your income doesn't have limits created by anyone else. When you learn the business skills needed to be successful, you will probably find your income grows much faster then at a regular 9- 5 job. As you find out what works for you, you will be able to replicate and improve upon your business plan. The more effort you put in to learning and applying skills, the more potential income you can realize. It helps to start with a business that offers a lot of training and resources upfront that you can use to start quickly and earn while you learn.
There are of course many more then 5 reasons why you should work from home; I hope I have given you a few important ones to think about . Aligning yourself with a solid company with a proven business model to follow is a big help in making the transition to a work from home business. I urge you when seeking such a model, to investigate and look closely at the details. Start off right, and you will save yourself from headaches later on and make it more likely you will be a work at home success story! Best of luck to you on your journey to career freedom!
