With the advent of telecommunication, running your business from home, or from pretty much anywhere you want, is an entirely realistic possibility.

I agree - self discipline is the real key in working from home. Unlike the stereotype of "lazying around in your pajamas, making money from home" , work at home is really challenging (of course, it's rewarding at best!) :)

Cheers, guys!

I second the self-discipline part. What I used to hate about it though was seeing the computer as soon as I woke up. If you could manage it, it's best to have a separate study/office so you could at least compartmentalize your life that way.

Hi there,

Good article about working from home. One thing that I'd like to add is self discipline. While I loved your point about motivation, I think discipline is a key concept that should be considered.

I love working in the home office because I'm away from distractions. I put my head down and work and work and work.

But in the past, when I've been less than busy, I've been open to distraction. So you really must manage your time. And it's important to manage what other people think of your time - some people think that you're not 'working' when you're not in an office so can pop by for coffee.

While that's good, it needs to be on your time, not theirs.

Just some words of advice from my telecommuting experience.

Take care,

Denise

Great post. I've been working from home for nearly 10 years and love it. Self discipline can be hard at times but when it's work or house chores, work wins nearly every time :) I sometimes have to visit a client so obviously looking smart is important then. But the the rest of the time I commute from bed via the shower via a dog walk through my fields back to my laptop. And highly recommend it to those it would suit :) Thanks for sharing on Bizsugar.com
