Working From Home Affords A Wardrobe of Opportunities
If you enjoy working from home or have ever thought about starting a home-based business, there has never been a better time in history to start. The Internet has increased the opportunities for the average person more than any other technology in recent memory.
Working from home is not all a bed of roses, however. You have to juggle many tasks at once.
For instance, you may be talking on the phone to a client one minute, then sending out an invoice the next. In the space of one hour you may type a letter, mail a proposal, respond to a dozen e-mail queries, and build a web site template. There's no end to the tasks a business owner must handle in a single day.
Still, the rewards of working from home are great. For starters, ordinary activities that you do every day may afford you some tax benefits. You can write off a home office in some cases and even include utilities. You might even take a tax benefit from eating a meal with a potential client. Purchase a new desk or computer and get a tax break. Many business start up costs are tax deductible. Just ask any tax attorney or CPA.
Other benefits of working from home include being in control of your time, working in family time during the day, cutting unnecessary expenses like fuel costs, and saving time that you'd otherwise spend in your car driving to and from work each day.
Since you work from home, you decide what is the appropriate dress code for the office. Like working in your bathrobe? Your employer might not like that idea, but if you are your own boss then who's going to fire you? Every day, thousands of people work from home wearing casual clothes, underwear, or nothing at all.
If your child has a field trip and you want to tag along, you can do that if you are working from home. Many employers won't let you take off to be with your children when they visit the art museum, but you work for yourself, who's going to stop you? Home schooling parents get an additional benefit: More time to teach, more time for field trips, more time for family, and more time for themselves. Take a day off and go to the zoo or work on that all-important project you've been avoiding all week. The choice is yours.
With the rising cost of gasoline in many parts of the world, you can save on this huge expense just by opting to work from home. Since there will be no need to drive on most days, you'll save a bundle. That savings also extends to other automobile related expenses such as general maintenance, repairs, and fluids that are essential to make the engine run. You know, like oil, transmission fluid, and water. Oh, you don't pay for water? What about anti-freeze and air for the tires? Yep, you can save those quarters too.
Then there's the time. The time you spend driving to and from work, the time you spend preparing for work, the time you spend winding down from work - all of it can be yours again.
Then, of course, you can save your sanity. Why juggle outside pressures when you can juggle a business and be twice as happy?
Working from home has more advantages than you can imagine. Even if you already have a home office, there are many ways you can expand your business offerings. Create a new service for your customers. Increase your add-on benefits to your current customers and the rewards of working from home increase as well.
There is no end to the ways working from home can benefit you and your family. If you haven't made that leap of faith, consider doing so today.
