Work at Home – Entrepreneurs Rediscover Benefits
Many people now want to combine their careers with families, opting out of the rat race, exhausting commutes, and long hours, and the technological innovations in the past decade have made the ability to work at home easier than ever.
Why work at home?
- Freedom – No more rigid work schedules, time clocks and “corporate culture”. Control your own work life, hours and goals. With less time spent on commuting and office politics, there’s more time available to work, be productive, and seize new opportunities.
- Financial Benefits – Save on gas, parking, and transportation expenses, as well as rent and other overhead cost. Work from home and downsize your wardrobe. There’s no need to dress up every day in power suits. Your earning potential is directly proportional to your performance.
- Job Market – Working from home allows people who have been shut out of the traditional job market: stay-at-home-moms, retirees, the disabled, to work and create new income opportunities.
- Tax Advantages – A home-based business offers a number of tax advantages, allowing you to deduct many operating and depreciation expenses on your home and vehicle (consult your accountant for more information about what can and cannot be deducted from using your home office).
- Reduce Stress and Strengthen Family - Setting your own hours, schedule, and deadlines allows you to stop trying to juggle the demands of your work life and personal life. You can always be home for dinner, see that school play, or take care of any child care issues without the pressures imposed by your employer.
- Joy of Work – As a home-based entrepreneur, you are not labeled as a “secretary”, “manager”, or “sales rep”. You are free to develop a solid understanding of all aspects of your business, take classes and training, and grow as both a business professional and a person.
Given these benefits, it’s easy to recognize the opportunities and independence of working from home. Be your own boss, manage your work schedule, and most importantly gain control over you own life.
