It’s funny – running a business from home is the dream of many, but it’s not something everyone can pull off. Running a business from home, is well, difficult business! Any business venture will always be a challenging and sometimes never-ending mission – but a home business presents a unique set of challenges that are specific to the environment. How you overcome them and how you cope with running a business from your very own home will go a long way towards determining the success of your home-based venture. As with all businesses opportunities through, your home based business will live and die on the amount of effort that you decide to put in, not only as an owner and a worker, but as a home-based entrepreneur.
What’s so difficult about running a business from home, then? Well – you’re running a business. Operating your own business is hard work, even from the earliest stages! Firstly, you need to come up with an idea that is suitable for the home. Most ideas will be, to be fair, thanks to the strong advances of the internet and its applications powered by cloud computing – but coming up with an idea is hard work. It isn’t easy to find an idea that works from home, for you, that is also unique and creatively fills a gap in the market. In the first instance, anything difficult about business is usually amplified by the fact that the business is operated from home. This isn’t to say that you’ll be unprofessional or unproductive, but the home isn’t always the best place for a business to be based. Why? Well, businesses need space. They need space for their equipment, their hand addressed direct mail and everything else. A business from the home can take up so much space in pure paperwork and room for the equipment.
What’s more – the home is a home, not always a business headquarters. Home presents a lot of distractions that can affect our productivity. When we run our own ventures, we need to be productive at all times and the home isn’t always the best environment for productivity – unfortunately. That’s because of the amount our mind can stray in the home. If we see a chore that needs doing – like a dirty carpet or a sink full of plates, dishes, bowls, pots, and pans, we might get up and perform the chore instead of our work. This is a unique situation and a unique challenge facing those who work from home.
If we’ve got kids? We’ve also got tiny little distractions. It’s not uncommon for home business owners to work late and into the weekends – this means that the kids are about. No offense to them, but they aren’t always the most quiet…
This isn’t to say that if you are thinking of home business, that you should forget about it – no! But if you are thinking of starting a business from home, you need to be prepared and ready for the challenge. It’s not always easy, working from home!
