The Ecstasy & Stress of a Home Business
Running a business from home is supposed to be sexy isn't it? Yeah right! Perhaps it is time you got a "real job". There are some really good employment sites on the internet... if only your broadband wasn't playing up... yet again.
You can not see the laptop screen in the garden when the sun is shining and in winter it is too cold too sit outside anyway. Why does it rain all the time and oh my god... the garden needs some attention.
How can you look forward to going home after a hard day if you are already there? On the positive side at least your partner is on hand 24/7 to nag you... and your friends' think your home is a free place to gather for biscuits and tea.
People who work from home get so engrossed in their business that they often can't see outside their own box. There is another world outside just waiting for you... if you manage to get out of your pyjamas!
Do you remember why you started a business from home? You thought that it would be a great idea to take time off whenever you wanted. You liked the idea of going to the gym at lunchtimes. But how can you leave the office when you might miss that important phone call?
You dreamt of taking long holidays in the Mediterranean... but how can you afford it when you have a pile of bills sitting the pending tray and you don't pay yourself any holiday pay or time and a half for overtime? Aren't holidays a waste of time and resources anyway?
What is so glamorous about working a twelve hour day, every day, cooped up in a small room in the corner of the house? What is so sexy about working in the garage? Right! Where is that newspaper? It is time to find a real job...
Naz Daud is the founder of CityLocal. This Business Franchise Opportunity is for people who would like to work from home and be their own boss.
