It's look like that, in today's world, working for yourself is only thing that you can do if you want to be in charge of your life.
No one is saying that working from home is easy and fun all the time, but definitely, it can be very rewarding.
However, before you start, you should do your homework properly and be aware of all pitfalls and ways how to avoid them.
First of all, you have to realize that if you are working from home, it is exactly the same as if you are working in office for somebody else.
So, you need to know how many hours will you work during the day, that you cannot be disturbed while you working, that you need dedicated space for your home office etc.
These are all things that should be sorted before you start with your home based business.
But most important thing is that you have to be motivated.
Why you want to start this home business? Is it because you want to be more financially independent and more in control of your life? Or is it because you want to spend more time with your family? What ever it is, it must be strong enough to give you a motivation every morning to get up and start working.
It must be in your mind all the time, and help you to overcome all unexpected and bad things that are waiting for you around the corner.
If your motivation for doing the home based business is not strong enough, then you should consider going back to regular work.
Otherwise, you will fail.
