Here's an all too familiar scenario. Someone decides it's time to quit the day job and start a small business from home. This could be anything from internet marketing to network marketing to working eBay. So they take the plunge, quit the job and set out to make their fortune working from the comfort of their own home.
Here's the problem. The phrase "working from the comfort of their own home" is often taken literally by excited opportunity seekers. Working from the comfort of your own home does not mean using all it has to offer in the way of leisure during working hours.
It basically refers to being able to get up in the morning, take a short stroll down the corridor to your office instead of facing the rush hour commute and not having to be faced with the prospect of a boss looking over your shoulder all day.
But many people get this wrong and the result is a serious lack of productivity because the reality is, most people are not self starters. It takes a serious self starter to be able to run a profitable small business online. It takes someone who can separate work and leisure in the same familiar environment like the home.
To succeed, you need to set a specific work period, turn off all distractions, set up a dedicated work area, appoint an accountable supervisor, someone you can account your time too and most of all, in the beginning, you really need to treat it like a job.
There is no difference other than the environment and the shorter commute to working from home and working a 9-5 job. The benefit comes in the convenience of being able to work out of your home.
