Owning a Home Base Business - Do You Really Want to Be the Boss?

There have been times when I would wake up to go to work and realize that I am already at work. Owning a home base business has its positives and negatives. If you own your business at home , there will be times when you feel on top of the world. Then, there will be times when you feel lonely because you will have to motivate yourself in order to stay ahead of the game. Below I will explain some good and not so good times that you will go thru. But keep in mind that this is part of the norm when it comes to owning a business from home.

First let's talk about the good:

When you own a home base business it can be very rewarding. There is no need to deal with the hassle of driving to work. Many people head off to work and never make it there because of "traffic accidents." The gas that you save by not having to drive to work along is a benefit. You never have to lie to your boss by saying that you got hung up in traffic.

Another benefit is not having to spend all of your pocket change on the soda and snack machines. If you would only add up the money that you spend at the end of each month or year, then you could easily see the benefits of savings you will have by not utilizing the machines alone.

How about the doctor,dental,emergency,and etc. that comes up during the year. It is not a major concern to explain to your boss and hoping that he/she will "approve" your request because "you are the boss."This will take a lot of pressure off of you trying to come up with the right things to say to your boss or taking a personal day off just to go have your teeth cleaned. That personal day could be used for more important things like going to the beach or just plain ole sleeping in half the day.

Here is the not so good:

Now that you are the boss, you are also the employee also. Having a home base business puts you in the shoes of multiple people. Did I also mention that you are the janitor too. Oh yeah, being the boss is not as simple as you thought it would be. Now you don't have to drive to work so you can never use the excuse of being late because of backed-up traffic on the high-way.

You are not spending all of your pocket change at the vending machines, but are you constantly raiding your refrigerator? The pounds can add up quickly being so close to the kitchen. This is when you need to be the boss and tell yourself that you are not allowed inside the kitchen until break time. Remember that you have to wear multiple hats when operating a business from home.

Ok, now you have those medical appointments to attend. After the appointments, do you come back home to continue your task? Or do you go for a little site seeing for a while? The boss need you to return as soon as your appointment is over. Remember, you need to stay on top of things because you really don't want to go out of business. Don't let every day become a personal day for you!

Having my home base business has been very good for me. However, you must maintain self discipline at all times. There is good and bad with almost all things, but if you concentrate on the good and keep moving toward it sooner or later you will drown out the bad. I hope that this article has not only explained the positives and negatives of being the boss, but also encouraged you to make that step in starting your very own home base business.
