The author Thomas H. Lindblom discuss about working from home. In this article he mentions some advantages and disadvantages of work from home and how it could a good or wrong idea.
The question of whether to work from home or not has been a question posed by many people, especially by mothers. This is a big dilemma. There are many factors to consider, as well as many pros and cons. In this article we are going to analyze this.
For many families mom makes the main income. Running a home business takes a lot of dedication and time. More often then not, you don't see much income when you first start your home business. Would it be possible to stay home and keep up with bills?
What about insurance? There are self-employed insurances out there, but again, it comes back to the time before you'd have a steady income from working from home.
Analyzing advantages:
(a) You would be there for your kids. You would be able to spend more time playing and training them. (b) If things aren't like you imagined you can take a break. Often, there are many less deadlines when running your own business. (c) Freedom, no bosses telling you how to do something or when to do it. (d) If you don't want to get dressed, don't. (e) No traffic jams, no idiot drivers, and we can work as much, or as little, as we like. (f) Laundry, housework, dinner they all get taken care of through the day. There is no rushing to get it done in the few precious hours in the evening.
Analyzing disadvantages:
(a) Your adult conversation is diminished to simple three or four word sentences. (b) Work it's always there. You go from a 9-5 job to one that lasts 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. (c) It's often hard to find the balance between family time and work time. (d) Often, there is stress while trying to make your business work. Your problems and errors are yours alone.
As you can see, there are many different aspects to consider when trying to decide whether or not to work at home. It is a big decision, one that should not be taking lightly. You need to sit down and think about what you want to get from doing this. List your pro’s and con’s. Looking at your list, decide if this is something that you can do. It is a big step, but if you follow your heart, you’ll make the best decision for your family
