Thinking of starting a home-based business? Great idea. Here’s why.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have a friend who used to spend two to three hours a day in her car just to get to her place of employment which was only 20 miles away. She would arrive so stressed and so hyper that it was a foregone conclusion that the day was not going to be productive, or that she would be easily wound up by difficult colleagues. She spent all day dreading the commute <\/strong>home through several dozen sets of traffic lights, crawling like a snail for the first 12 miles or so, and then all night spreading the commute back the next day. The public transport links were rubbish and car parking was expensive. It was a lose, lose situation.<\/p>\n

Eventually she became so tired, so stressed and so ill that it started to affect her work and she had to take time off under medical orders. Her place of employment took that opportunity to offer her redundancy<\/strong>. That was a huge shock, but it was the making of her. No more commute<\/em>!<\/strong> \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

My friend still had to make money though. Initially she turned to the internet and took on a few jobs. It was tentative. She didn\u2019t believe she could make a living, but she just needed a little extra cash. In fact, those jobs snowballed and before she knew it she had set up an office <\/strong>and was working full time from home and was much happier with her 20 second commute and her home-based business.<\/p>\n

So if you\u2019re in the same boat what are the advantages and disadvantages of working from home?<\/p>\n

Disadvantages to consider<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"There<\/a>

There will be distractions …<\/p><\/div>\n

Distractions<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re working from home there will be distractions <\/strong>no matter how focused you try to be. You may have children or pets for starters. Your Mum may keep phoning because she knows you\u2019re at \u2018home\u2019. Also, you may be lured to the television if something special is on \u2013 think Winter Olympics or Football World Cup here and you\u2019ll know what I mean. This means you really need to be self-disciplined.<\/p>\n

Self-discipline vs Procrastination<\/strong><\/p>\n

Procrastination is a monster! If you don\u2019t have any self-discipline you need to forget the whole idea of working from home now. You can\u2019t keep breaking your focus by getting up and doing something else, like dusting the living room, nipping to the hairdressers or watching a daytime soap. Equally, you can\u2019t sit at your desk and play Candy Crush Saga or Pet Rescue all day long. If you\u2019re using social media <\/strong>for your business are you going to be able to tear yourself away? You need to be strong!<\/p>\n

Balance Home and Work Life<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bizarrely, the opposite to sitting and playing Candy Crush all day also applies. Are you one of those people who cannot tear yourself away from work? You take the twenty second commute at 8 am and you\u2019re still there at 6 pm, and 7 pm, saying \u201cjust another 5 minutes\u201d. It is feasible to put in too many hours<\/strong>. No matter where you are in the house, you will always be \u2018at work\u2019. Try to set boundaries between your work life and home life, and stick to them.<\/p>\n

Isolation<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sometime it is lonely working for yourself. No matter how much you have always hated the bitching and backbiting and the office politics<\/strong>, you may well miss the company of your colleagues. Hopefully you have a network of friends and family around you, but if you don\u2019t you should try and ring fence time when you can get out and mix with people \u2013 maybe at an exercise class, quiz night, or volunteering in the countryside at the weekend. There are all manner of opportunities and community initiatives available. Try some out.<\/p>\n

Company Benefits<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you work for yourself you will have to forego company benefits, although given that these days companies are squeezing more and more out of their employees you might not be so bothered. Things to consider that you may be giving up are: family or health insurance; retirement benefits; gym memberships etc. You may have to find a way to get these benefits yourself, which can be quite costly.<\/p>\n

\"Transform<\/a>

Transform your garage!<\/p><\/div>\n

Space<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re setting up at home you need the space to so it. If your business involves selling online you need to know where you\u2019re going to store everything. It\u2019s one thing having a home office but do you have a safe, dry store for any goods that you are going to sell? What happens if the business goes well and you have to expand<\/strong>? (I know, HOORAY!) All of these things need to be taken into consideration.<\/p>\n

Equipment<\/strong><\/p>\n

You may already have a laptop and \u00a3500 to spend on stock. Great stuff! That may be all you need for now. But you will need a printer, ink, paper, packaging, document wallets, sellotape, labels etc. etc. You\u2019ll need shelves, a phone, a website, lights that work, secure storage etc. etc. Before you know it you will be identifying things you need. Go with the flow. Get them when you can and shop around. But avoid the Procrastination Monster <\/strong><\/em>that tells you to sit and shop on Ebay all day.<\/p>\n

\"THIS<\/a>

THIS is the procrastination monster. Fear him! He costs you time and time is money!<\/p><\/div>\n

Business Head on Sofa Shoulders<\/strong><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget that running a business from home takes work. You\u2019re not just going to be sat on the sofa. This will be your livelihood. You will actually work harder than ever before, although hopefully with more passion <\/strong>because it\u2019s yours! You need to put the effort into your business and constantly market it, nurture it, and plan goals for it. If you enjoy doing this sort of thing that\u2019s a real bonus. People who enjoying taking credit for their own creative ideas are inclined not to not mind being accountable for influencing the success of their business.<\/p>\n

Advantages<\/strong><\/p>\n

No more commute! <\/strong><\/p>\n

Think of the savings in petrol, parking, and wear and tear on the car (and on you!) Hell, do you even need a car? Depending on your business maybe you should trade it in for a little van. My friend opted for the car version of a Citro\u00ebn Berlingo (other vehicles are available) which had fold down seats and plenty of room in the back for transporting goods when she needed to.<\/p>\n

No more commute <\/strong>also saves you time. You can be productive in that time, or lie in if you really want to, or walk the dog, or play with your children. My friend effectively works an extra 10-15 hours per week now that she works from home, but she isn\u2019t as tired as she was when she was commuting.<\/p>\n

\"Wear<\/a>

Wear a onesie to work. Yay!<\/p><\/div>\n

Don\u2019t dress to impress<\/strong><\/p>\n

No need for sharp suits and smart shoes. No more make up. No more slaving over an ironing board. Wear a onesie <\/strong>and a pair of slippers – see our article here on footwear just because it’s amazing! \ud83d\ude09 article <\/a>\ud83d\ude09 You should probably still, shower and shave and make some effort to wear clean clothes though \u2026 just saying.<\/p>\n

Flexibility<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kids need the dentist? You need the GP? Dog wants a haircut? Trip to see the bank manager? No sweat. Now that you work from home you can accommodate all of these things and then just make up the time afterwards. You can save on daycare if you have your kids at home with you but you need to balance that against potential distractions.<\/p>\n

No boss!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hallelujah! You work for yourself. You set your own hours. There are no idiots <\/strong>– just yourself \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Tax Deductions<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are allowable tax deductions for having a home office, and for business expenses. Also, starting up a home-based business is much more affordable <\/strong>because you have fewer overheads. You need a room or a cupboard or a garage but you are already paying for the rent and utilities to live there. You may be able to claim a small portion back off your heating and internet usage etc. by having a home based business. Record all the incomings and expenses associated with your business so that you can be really clear when it comes to filing a tax return.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s great that when you have your own business you won\u2019t find yourself hitting the glass ceiling. What you earn, you can either keep or put back into the business. You do have to file your own income taxes however, so keep all of those receipts <\/strong>and proof of your business expenses and pass them to your accountant if you have one. One of the disadvantages to owning a home-based business may be that you are more susceptible to being audited, so keep organized.<\/p>\n

\"Wait<\/a>

Wait till your garage looks like this then you’ll KNOW you’re going places! (To a storage unit somewhere probably).<\/p><\/div>\n

Finally: Did you know?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Starting a home-based business means that you\u2019re joining illustrious company. Hugely successful multinational corporations started in suburban garages<\/strong>: think Apple Computers and Hewlett-Packard. You could be next!<\/p>\n
