These days many are aspiring to set up a home office and work from home in one capacity or another. It might be to run a home business, or simply work remotely for their current job. In this post we'll look at 5 reasons why people work from home and why it can be a great idea.

#1 - More Time With Family

This is possibly one of the most popular reasons people want to be able to work from home. Parents get to spend more time with their children and each other. It also enables the person working from home to be able to take the kids to school and get more of the household chores done in between operating their online business or doing work remotely.

#2 - Lifestyle Freedom

The points above come under the umbrella of lifestyle freedom. Being able to work from home opens the doors to a much more flexible lifestyle. You can arrange to meet up with a friend for lunch, get the shopping done in the afternoon, then maybe doing a bit more of your own work in the evening. Flexible work hours empower us all to be able to accomplish many other things if we are disciplined.

#3 - No Boss

It's true that some people just can't get motivated to work unless they have a boss hanging over their shoulder brandishing a big stick (the big stick being the threat of being fired). Being your own boss not only takes a lot of pressure off yourself personally, it also empowers you to develop new skills, motivational techniques and self-discipline. You take control of your own destiny and you learn new lifetime skills.

#4 - Work From Anywhere

If you are operating a business online or are able to do your employment work entirely from home and online, essentially you can take your work with you wherever there is an internet connection available. This frees you up to either travel, or simply have a change of scenery and work from the local café or even in the park.

#5 - Unlimited Income Potential

If your work from home endeavours are related to running business online, then this type of environment means there is no limit on your income potential. Depending on what you do and how much work you are willing to devote to your online business, the sky is the limit on earnings.

correct that is absolutely right

Thank you Darren!

#2 ... "if we are disciplined." If you are not used to it, this will have to be your number #1 goal. Coupled with focus, and hard work. At first, you will have to work longer hours and work harder, than you ever worked for anybody else. I've found always reviewing hourly, daily, weekly, short and long term-goals helpful. Remember why you're doing it, and get that first client and go above and beyond to solve their problem. I cannot over emphasize enough of having samples of your work and a few reviews too.

I'm working on this. Thanks.

It is a pretty good gig! :) :)

I definitely want to be my own boss and have unlimited income potential.

The third reason that you mentioned is the one that hits home. I have spent most of my working life following ! BOSSES !. Ho to be my own.. BLISS..

Nothing better than being your own boss!
