Work At Home Careers! Is Working For Yourself For You?

Have you been trying to think of all of the work at home
careers that are available these days? There certainly is a lot
of publicity about working at home.
More and more employers are having their employees work from
home as a cost cutting measure. It just makes sense sometimes
for them to have you do your work at your home.
What about if you don”t want to work for your employer anymore?
Is leaving your current career to start a work at home career of
your own something you find yourself thinking about over and
over.
You really have to step back and do a Ben Franklin close on
yourself on this. What that means is get a legal pad and draw a
line down the middle. On the left write the word “Positives.” On
the left write “Negatives.” Then start listing everything you
can think of that is a positive or negaitive on leaving your
current job.
A few positives might be : no daily commute, no having to dress
for the office, no difficult bosses, more time with the family.
A few negatives might be: no company health insurance, no steady
pay check, need office space, distractions at home from kids
and chores, etc.
You really need to spend several days on this. When a plus or
minus pops in your head write it down. Do you have the qualities
to succeed in your own work at home career?
You need patience and perseverance, self-discipline and a
positive attitude. You need good time management skills as well
as a stick to it attitude. You need to be able to see the big
picture when things are not going well.
To me the benefits of a working at home far outweighed
continuing to work for someone else. You can”t put a price on
the freedom and flexibility that comes with working for
yourself. But you have to decide that for yourself.
If you find more positives than negatives on your legal pad then
it is time to get serious thinking about what you can do to make
money working at home and how you can get started.
For me working on the internet creating information web pages
around different niches was the way to go. There are so many
ways to make money online that sometimes it is mind boggling.
The key is to find something that you are interested in and get
started.
