For a lot of us, a home businessis their dream. With commute times getting longer all the time, life’s high speed pace of the workplace, people are getting fed up more and more at their employment. After you consider daycare if you have children, the cost of living going up and the salaries not changing or even going down in lots of cases, people are looking into staying home more these days. But the problem with that solution is usually the cost of living being too high and most families cannot set aside that second source of revenue.
The solution to this problem is a desk in your home. You get to avoid the rush hour traffic in the morning and back home in the afternoon, saving you between two to four hours everyday. That commute being saved everyday, you also save the fuel normally used to go to work or the bus fees. You can be home to put your kids on the bus yourself and save the daycare fees. And this still leaves your late morning and early afternoon open if your new tasks requires you to see prospects.
But a lot of people are not successful in their business, because they lack that commitment that comes with it. When you own a home based business, or have a home based job, you need to be self motivated. The perk of being at home is not having a boss on your back all day telling you what to do. The bad side of being home is not having a boss on your back all day telling you what to do. Too many are taking this business as early retirement they can’t afford. They take this time to sleep in more and more everyday, catch up on laundry they had problems fitting in before, visit more friends and family than ever before and the list continues.
Until you work on enough residual income to replace your salary, you need to have the motivation to work at home as if you had that boss pushing you everyday and get it all done until you secure your financial future.
With your office at home, you need to still get up in the morning and get ready for work. It may be in your office in your kitchen, but you need to treat it like work and be ready for anything. Getting up at noon, have brunch, do some laundry, some yard work and then realizing you wasted the day away and nothing is done will not replace the income you are no longer getting from your job. But if you get up close to the same time you used to before, get ready to go to your office in the next room, you are prepared to start working right away after breakfast or as soon as the kids have gone to school for those with children. You saved that traffic, so you don’t lose on your work even though you spent more time with your family already in the day.
Remember to take some breaks, as you would if you were still at work in the office. If you don’t do this, the lack of motivation will set in again. You will find that if you commit to your business, your productivity level will be much better than at a job. There are no distractions at home from other employees, so you concentrate more on the work that needs to be done your task at hand. Therefore, you can leave earlier to be with your children without sacrificing your business. And at the end of the day, when the kids and/or spouse get home, you don’t feel like you wasted your day on chores. You also don’t feel drained like you normally are when commuting home after a long day of work. So being more calm, it is easier to put in an hour of chores at the end of the day and not feel like it is that extra in your day pushing you over the edge.
Personally, I have done more at home lately than ever before with a job in the way. But I am still productive in my office as I am growing my business and pushing that comfort level higher to bring my wife home as well. I see my kids every morning, one thing that never happened before, except weekends. Working at home is well worth it and doesn’t demand the high demand of having a job. But to do so, you need to have the conviction of success by being self motivated. You know what you need to do to keep yourself at the level you were with a job. And if you Just keep yourself an hour a day to learn more about your business and how to make it better, you will have an ever growing business that will give you Freedom and permit you to reduce the hours you put in a day in the office, even if it is in the next room to your bedroom.
I, Stephane, have managed to retire from my job because of my business at home and am now spending my time helping others do the same.
