do you think you would like to be self employed and work from home?

As someone who does work from home, I love it and wouldn't change it.  However it does come with obstacles.  Here is what I came up with just off the top of my head:\n\n1)  Other people tend to think you have it easy, and like to call you and interrupt your day OR think that you can run them errands etc. (my mother is guilty of this).  --- So set a schedule and stick to it.  If people call you simply say, I am at work I'll call you later.  B/c if you don't and make exceptions it will continue to happen and some days you won't get anything done.\n\n2)  If you have children (especially young ones) they may not respect your "office time".  Get a stop sign on the door, and train them that if they see the sign they can only come in during an emergency.  Keep your office locked when you are not in it... little hands like to roam through things they shouldn't.  LOL.\n\n3) Try to schedule meetings and outside work on specific days of the week, that you can set up sitters for if you have kids.  Otherwise having a set "out day(s)" helps you prepare for the coming week.\n\n4)  Even if you are home, still get dressed for work.  Even put your shoes on.  Otherwise it is too tempting to relax more than you should.\n\n5)  Make sure you have adequate storage for your biz supplies or merchandise if you sell from your home.  You spouse will NOT be keen on having your biz stuff everywhere in the house.\n\n6) Get a postage scale and use a service like stamps.com for shipping, have a set ship day during the week the USPS comes and picks up anything you have going out.  Or set up a program with UPS.  THis will save you time & from making repeat trips to the post office.

Ebay business, work at home your own hours, and if you work at it, can be very profitable

If you start to drag yourself to work everyday then I think you better quit. But setting up your own business is not as simple as what you think. You need to find a place for the tuition centre, hire people, rental fees, renovation cost etc. The most diffcult part is that when you are new in the market, people will not trust you as much as the more established tuition centres.   \nYou need to consider all these factors before you go into this type of business. All the best to you

I agree with the last answer, however, guaranteed income doing any business on your own is not possible.  If u want guaranteed income, be an employee...There are lots of companies looking for someone part time etc., who can telecommute.  It comes down to your skill level...What are they?  What industries do u know anything about?  What is your level of education etc.?  i have worked from home as an employee 5 years out of 6, and then 1 year in an office, and then started my own business- which is by far best of all...

Yes. It depends on what you do and how much time you put into it.\n\nOne place to make money at home is eBay. One person I got a ton of good advice and tips from was Dave Espino. His web addy is https://www.auctionsforincome.com/index.htm.\n\nYou could also search Monster or Hotjobs for "telecommuting" jobs.\n\nHere are some other webistes you can try:\n\nhttp://www.workathomejobsinformation.com/\nhttp://www.work-at-home-index.net/\nhttp://jobsearch.about.com/od/workathomehelp/

You're going to do what you've always wanted to do: work from home. How I wish I had your computer savy, knowledge and expertise! I have to settle for encouraging people into giving me their old computers when they upgrade so I can clean them out and give them to needy people. One mother who had had a hip operation was able to work from home all winter last year, here in Maine, thanks to someone's generosity. Work from your home! You are your own boss. You can call the shots. You can either be affordable or impossible. You can be the guy people hire because his rates are sensible. That would be a daily cash flow... and the possiblilties are endless, because you have your home office from which you can work. You can hook up a second computer in your home to keep your business records so they are not accessible online (to anyone but you). Money, money , money! Start thinking money instead of being too old! Job one is: establishing a really great cash flow for YOU and your family. They are job one. When you work from home, suddenly, you are no longer at the beck and call of company offers in just New York City. Your office is the United States, period. When you get richer and can allow a sense of humour about all this stuff, you can extend your business to outside the states. Sound too good to be true? I told Matt he should work for himself. He is now in San Marcos, Texas, binding little copy books which he sells from his home. Self-employed; well off; happy. So - work for yourself. Be the boss. Be all those people who won't even look at you or treat you nice. I am sending this message with tons of positive, vibrant success energies! Give what I tell you some serious thought. Sit down, put your feet up and think about being the boss. The worker. The bookkeeper. The candlestick maker - and of course, the Bill Gates II, who retired early! (You think I'm kidding, but how can you know you will not be a real success???)  Best to you from G., South Portland, Maine, U.S.A.

Instead of getting a new job, why not start a small home based business. Check out my company if you want more info. I live in CA, but i do have associates in the NY and Jersey area.

i would say yes - of course that depends on what the nature of the business is. \nIf you wanted to open a first class restaurant and needed premises fitting out with kitchens etc, or a factory with heavy plant machinery needed to run the business then you might struggle! however, i have a services based business and work from home, it cost me around  £1k to get up and running and i have just passed my first year and am here to tell the tale.\nas long as you do the financial planning you need and feel you could do it for £10k then go for it! it could be the best thing you ever do.
