If you own a home-based business and you also have a family you know how hard it is to separate your personal life from your business life. You also know that with no one watching over your shoulder that it is easy to play hooky and not go to work at all or to get up at 10 AM and quit at 1 PM.

If you run a home-based business you must be quite motivated in order to make it all work and it helps to be a self-starter and have a little entrepreneurial spirit. If you have all those things you are well on your way to having a successful home business of your own and still being able to juggle your personal life around your daytime profession.

Of course nothing good in life is easy and working out of home is fairly good and it appears to be easy but it is not. Many people start home-based businesses out of necessity and either they have been laid off from their corporate job or they are trying to earn a second income as a spouse who stays home all day.

Both of these reasons make perfect sense and many people who are consultants run their consulting practice out of their home especially if they work a lot on the Internet and around the country, as it makes no sense to have an office when no one will ever come to visit you. Simply use an extra room in your house or the kitchen table. Please consider all this in 2006.
