Give Up the Commute and Get A Job At Home!

There are so many truly fulfilling perks to working from
home, and so many advantages too! Indeed, just imagine for
a moment all the times you've sat in your car in gridlocked
traffic, practically praying for a brief opening so you can
quickly take off toward your mid-city office. Really, how
many days of your life have you spent held up in traffic,
just tapping the steering wheel and wondering if it will
ever change? With the right business opportunity, and
preferably a home-based business opportunity, financial
freedom could actually be possible.

Many of us have forgotten what a real recession tasted like
until recent times, and it's certainly not something to
look forward to. If you have managed to survive this one
with your 9-to-5 job intact, count yourself lucky and start
to reflect on the value of your economic independence once
more. Take action to ensure your own future!

If you're able to work from home, you'll have the freedom
to do as you please. You won't have to clock in or out,
have a schedule to keep, have to concern yourself with
"fitting in" with everyone else or worry if your suit is
perfectly pressed before you hurry into the office every
morning.

While there are costs involved in setting up a business at
home, of course, just think how much you could save in
commuting costs. Gasoline by itself is becoming more of a
precious commodity and subject to horrible price spikes and
then there's the cost of maintaining your vehicle, bearing
in mind that your commuting miles account for the lion's
share of that annual expenditure.

When you work for yourself you can dictate your hours and
conditions. Of course you will need a great work ethic and
have to know all about time management before you even
consider doing this, but if you are dedicated to your
future and that of your family you can get really excited
about the prospect of potential earnings. You won't have to
go, cap in hand, to your boss anymore to ask for a raise
and worry about all the political ins and outs of the
hiring structure.

Working from home allows you to consider potential tax
benefits as well. Often you will be allowed to claim some
of your operating expenses, including a percentage of your
rent or mortgage payment. Part of your utility costs,
building maintenance costs, repairs and improvements may
also be deductible and if you use your vehicle for the
business, that goes in too!

Our weekly work schedules often lead to us spending little
time with our families and before we know it, the kids have
grown up and we have missed some of the great times.
Working from home allows the entrepreneur to be within
reach of the family more often and while work must always
be prioritized and kept separate from other home
activities, there will be a lot more flexibility and time
available if needed for those family emergencies.

The thought of being an entrepreneur and taking control of
your own destiny is a very powerful motivator for many. Get
involved with a home-based business and your commute can be
a very simple one indeed!
