Home Business: Why Wouldn’t You?
If you are a business man or at least own or do business with a people on a regular basis, I have only one question for you. Are you working at home, and if not why the heck not? Let me tell you that I used to think, much like you probably do, that home business was for the freaks and the social derelicts among us who couldn’t take the pressures of the boiler room. Right? That is what you are thinking right now aren’t you?
Well I just want you to be open minded and listen to me while I try to convince you that home business is really what all the smart guys are doing, not the losers. I’m making you nervous aren’t I? Yeah, I am saying that you might not be as cool as you think you are. So where do I begin? Well for starters you aren’t as cool because you are more of a slave to the status quo than you might think. You probably have to where a suit everyday which probably cost a lot (unless you work at Art Van), and it probably costs a lot on a regular basis to get cleaned, and it probably isn’t as comfortable as sweat pants are. The only reason you where it is because there is an expectation that you, as a proper businessman would do it. When you think about it there is no other reason.
This brings up a lot of silly things that you do that if they don’t actually cause you to be less productive are at least not helpful. Like who says that the normal business day is the best time to work. I don’t know about you but I like to be able to get things done like go to the bank and the doctor’s office once in a while. These are important right? But how often do you feel good about it when you have to take time off to do these things that everyone has to do. Well if you run a home business flex time just goes with the territory, if you know what I am saying.
That brings up another and perhaps my last point on the value of owning and operating in your home business. That is that you no longer have to feel bad about doing the things that you want to do when you want to do them and the appropriate pace to maintain value in your life. I mean do you want to live to work (I hope not), or work to live (now that’s more like it). So if you are a smart guy who realizes that a lot of your office image or persona is just a waste of time, wishes they could do important things when they needed to be done, and loves the idea of a balanced and healthy life you should think about this wonderful opportunity.
