If you have dreamed of the opportunity to work at home, you probably don't need any prompting to list many advantages to making a career change.
Nowadays, with the ability to transfer almost any type of media over the Internet, it really makes a lot of sense to switch to telecommuting or better yet, starting your own home based business.
If you've never thought about moving out on your own and being an entrepreneur, here are a few advantages you might find if you decide to make the switch to being self-employed.
No more commutes People who live in the suburbs today are often spending as much as three to four hours daily just getting back and forth to work.
The advantage of a less urban environment to raise a family is unquestioned.
The price of housing close to the city center and most work opportunities is much more costly than housing further out, but you pay for the difference in increased commuting time, more of the monthly budget spent for fuel and vehicle replacement.
If you work at home, you will effectively give yourself an extra $30 to $100 daily income at $10-$25 per hour in time saved.
In addition, you can reduce the amount you pay for fuel, insurance, automobile replacement and tire purchases.
You're the boss You choose the working hours, you choose the color of your office decor.
You get to decide when to stock a certain item in your inventory, and you can decide the price to charge for your service oriented home business.
When you work at home, you have all the privileges and responsibilities that go with making your own decisions and following through on them.
If you're the type of individual who likes a challenge, you will consider this aspect of a home based business as the most exciting.
Smell the roses One of the nicest things about work at home is that you can carve out an hour on a sunny summer afternoon to watch your kids play softball.
You can take a quick dip in the backyard pool without a major scheduling revision.
You can get away for a trip to Disney World without having to ask for your vacation time a year in advance.
Your self-improvement time is not limited to a coffee break.
You have the time to get better acquainted with the people in your life.
Never a dull moment There is nothing quite like the enjoyment of doing something that you enjoy and finding a way to earn money while doing it.
A work at home career, carefully chosen, will make it seem like you don't have to go to work.
You can expand a hobby, start a new direction in your life, or transform your corporate job into one that can be done from a home based business.
In any case, it's exciting, challenging, and endlessly enjoyable.
With a home business, you're always trying something new to improve your technique or increase your sales volume.
