Why do you want to work from home? Do you know for sure?

There is a lot of information about why someone would want to work from home, and you should sit down and take notes about the real reasons you want to have a home-based business.

Before going from a job outside of the home—to working from home—it’s very important that you have some clear goals in mind, as well as your motivation behind those goals. Without knowing where you are financially and/or geographically and where you would like to go, you may fall into some of the stereotypical routines that befall (and fail) many who work from home.

Below are some suggestions for why you want a work-at-home business:

1. Financial
2. Creative outlet
3. Remain in the competitive marketplace
4. Boredom
5. Entrepreneurial spirit
6. Enjoy the challenges
7. Retirement
8. Friendship and networking
9. You want to own something of your own
10. To supplement a fixed income

Now, create your own list of why you want to work from home, in order of importance to you. Then, with that list, get a bit more personal and open your list up to explain what it is you will have to do to achieve those goals. And, if you reach your goals, what’s next?

It is very important to balance your personal and professional lives. Make sure that you are moving toward your idea of a balanced life without compromising your values, morals, children, relationships or yourself. It is very easy to under-achieve or over-achieve when you are working out of your home – but, it is the continual review of your path and goals that will keep you feeling and being all that you want to be!
