Looking for a work at home job? I’ll give you 5 good reasons why you
should consider starting a home business instead.
1. Telecommuting jobs are rare- are you? The only real work at home jobs
out there are for highly specialized skills like programming, translation,
transcription and such. What they all have in common is that they require
special training and employers that hire telecommuters always require experienced
candidates- experts in their field. Employers just don’t hire people
to do things like typing from their homes.
A home business can be anything you want it to be. You get to follow your
passion and do something that you truly enjoy. I think that if we all
couldn’t wait to leap out of bed each morning because we loved what
we do, the world would be a much happier place. So, unless you have a passion
for learning MYSQL / SQL database structure or how to translate medical documents
from English to Japanese, a home business can offer endless possibilities
in an area that interests you.
2. Telecommuting jobs don’t afford as much flexibility as you might
think. Your boss picks your clients and coworkers, not you. You may or may
not like the people you find yourself working with day after day, which can
be like a slow form of torture.
With your business you choose who your client will be. Maybe you want to
start a business that has to do with kids and all your clients have kids
at home with them. They would be more likely to understand and appreciate
kid noise in the background while on the phone with you. You get to create
your own “company culture”.
3. You’re not in control of your job security. Corporate downsizing
will still apply and even if you have that rare and special skill that they
once found indispensable, you might find yourself back on the job search
track. Also, unless you have a written agreement that your telecommuting
arrangement is set in stone, employers can pull you back into the office
at their discretion.
4. Big brother will be there looking over your shoulder. Employers need to
know that their employees are being productive. They just can’t help
themselves. This puts more
pressure on you to meet deadlines, to prove that you will be at least as
efficient (if not more efficient) that your on-site coworkers. Even companies
that champion elecommuting often have strict checks and balances to ensure
that you’re not lying around watching television or heading off to the
beach. Supervisors are often suspicious to the point of micromanaging their
telecommuters.
You just can’t afford to be lured away by the many distractions of the
home office. The television beckons, the kids want your attention, you just
want to get a load of
laundry in…. This is not to say that you can succumb to these distractions
as a home business owner, but the difference is that you call the shots.
With your own home business, you are Big Brother, Big Sister, The Big Cheese-
your own boss. You set the goals and the pace and it’s up to no one
but you how and when you meet them.
5. And lastly, but most importantly… when you are a home business owner
you get to take a vacation whenever you want. Could there be a better reason
to stop looking for a telecommute job and start a home business?
