Working from home, would it work for you?

Working from home, would it work for you? by Rachel Harding
Working from home is becoming more and more popular with those looking to earn a decent wage without having to disrupt their lives too much, but it is not as easy as you think. The ability to work from home is a dream for many, but now that dream can become a reality. The internet and a home computer have enabled people who would never have dreamt of working from home to fulfill their dream. Working from home is increasingly becoming part of a balanced working schedule for many traditionally office-based workers, along with people who are setting up their own businesses. At one time you needed to buy or rent premises to set up your own business and carry stock but times are changing. You must remember though working from home is a business and a proper job, and should be treated as such or you will fail.

If you set up your own business from home it doesn’t always mean more money than working for someone else, but it can indeed provide freedom from the commute; flexibility, as generally if you have a laptop and internet connection you can work anywhere in the world; an ability to choose the projects and type of work performed; and to set working hours that fit the needs of the family.
