WORKING FROM HOME GOOD OR BAD

Written by Nancy Neubauer on Jan 25, 2012 4:44 pm

Working from home is becomming very popular today especially because most people who cannot find jobs are finding this to be very appealing. Some companies are realizing that there are cost saving benefits so they are offering jobs to home-based professionals. Hiring people as Independent Contractors saves companies the liablities of insurance costs, and tax liabilities.
WORKING AT HOME CAUTION

Caution! you must be careful when considering working for someone from home there are many scams out there and you must be careful. Due your due-diligence when investigating these companies making sure they are legitimate especially when you are investing money to because a part of their company. Working from home forums can help when making decisions while doing your investigating. Do not be implusive I was in the beginning got into some things that I should not have. What I have learned over these last five years doing Network Marketing is to surround yourself with people who are successful at the new venture that you are considering to become a part of.

MOST BLOGGERS WORK FROM HOME

There are many people who work from home, this is not a new thing it has been around for a long time. Most people that are self employed are freelance writers, journalists, photographers, designers etc. they usually have a home office that they work out of. Bloggers like myself are enjoying working from home I have learned to surround myself with good leaders and wonderful mentors.

WORK FROM HOME AND THE LACK OF DRESS CODE

Working from home provides benefits that may not seem obvious at first. While many of us foresee a few advantages, such as wearing pajamas to work or setting our own hours, the actual benefits of working from home far exceed these simple luxuries. What I have noticed is that I sometimes really lose track of time and my hours are not only 8 hours a day like you would work if you were at your job.

I am over sixty so my choice of finding a job is limitied. Most companies do not want to hire someone over 50, so being self employed and working at home is a good option for me. Another disadvantage is finding health insurance because you are self employed, which can become very expensive. What I like the most is being able to schedule my work around other responsibilities. If you have little children it can be very hard for both the mother and the children.
Working from home or starting a business is a personal choice. If you are unemployed and considering new alternatives this is just another one to think about. Whether you want to start a business or work for a company from home, do all of your research before you commit because it can be a costly mistake if you have not considered all associated expenses.
So, working from home has its own advantages for sure. But, as I said earlier, the grass is not always greener on this side. The lack of co-workers to talk to, and the absence an office environment could be more of an disadvantage than you might think. If you are someone who likes to have people around when you are working, it could be extremely difficult to stay productive and creative while working alone in your home office.
I have been lucky found Empower Network and could not be happier, again i surrounded myself with great leaders and great mentors.
