Stay at Home Business
If you have been considering starting a home business you may have heard many different opinions on how to run it. Some will tell you to run it like you would if you were working away from the home. Others may tell you to make your own hours and be flexible. What is the best way to work from home?
One of the primary reasons that people even consider working from home is to some how get a handle on their personal lives. They feel divided leaving every morning and dropping kids off at daycare and school; working all day and then picking, them up to only feed them and put them to bed. One of the advantages to having a home business is that you can set your hours differently that work with your lifestyle.
You want to be careful not to let the chores that need your attention run overtime so that you are doing your home business at night and the weekends. One way to manage this is to rent a post office box where all your deliveries for your business go instead of coming to your home and mixing in with your home mail and lessens the amount of time you are running to the door frequently to sign for packages for the business. Use your day planner and schedule in when you will be doing the daily chores and doing the business. You can utilize your break times to do the dishes and vacuum. You may consider hiring someone to come in and do the little chores for you such as a teenager looking to make a little extra money.
Multi-tasking is an important quality when you are entering the home business environment. If you are not good at organizing your time and resources and able to do more than one thing at a time you may want to reconsider this avenue of financial employment or join together with a partner who is a good multi-tasker.
It is important to get your family involved in accomplishing chores around the house. If your children are old enough to do laundry or dishes and other chores around the house start setting a schedule that you want them done by and your chores will be done, your children will be learning responsibility, and you will be able to accomplish what needs to be done with your business. Let your children know when you are available to take them places instead of telling them you have no time because your business requires you to stay home. Write in times in your day planner to take your children places and do special things for yourself and with your spouse. If you put all your energies into the business and neglect your family you will either not have your family or you will lose your business or possibly both.
