Working a typical 9 to 5 job you are guaranteed a reliable income in order to support yourself and or your families. You typically have a set schedule with days off according to your full-time or part-time status. You go to work doing the same job day after day and when things go wrong you always have your boss or co-worker to blame. However, one day you start thinking about the possibilities of working from home and how wonderful it would be to be self employed.
