7 Reasons Why You Should Work From Home
Working in PJs right from your bedroom has become a common way to work in 21st century thanks to internet. In fact, the way we use to work have been completely revolutionized by the internet. It is no longer difficult to imagine someone earning 7 figure income from home without stepping out of his bedroom.
There are many benefits of working from home, if you are stuck in a traditional 9 to 5 job or you want to create a second stream of income, internet holds the key to become your own boss, work from home, avoid the commute, answer emails from your phone while sipping a pineapple daiquiri. You may have heard of some benefits of working from home but there are some other things that might give you a big surprise about what it’s like when you don’t have to answer to any boss or go into the office everyday.
Before we take a look at these benefits, let’s look at the difference between working from home and doing traditional job. With traditional job, you are sure of your weekly or monthly salary, you go to office every day at a certain time and work until a set dismal time. Your boss gives you work to do everyday and you work hard and pray to get promoted. On the other hand, if you choose to work from home, you only need your PC and internet connection, no need to change cloth, brush teeth, or wait for commute to get to work. You work from your home office or bedroom, you are not paid monthly, you only make money offering value in one way or another.
Alright, let’s get to it, here are some reason why you will never get back to working for anyone again;
1. Your Office Can Be Anywhere
When we say “work from home“, we don’t mean that you must stay at home to get paid, far from that. You can literally work for your money from any location. Personally, I work while vacationing in Bahamas. You can work from your hotel room, classroom, or library. You can even work while on the cab or airplane. Working from home does not prevent you from traveling. Even if you are a mother, you can do your school runs, cook dinner for the family, do the laundry and do your online work in-between chores.
2. More Than One Way To Make Money
Perhaps this is the biggest benefit of working from home; you will have opportunity to make money from different sources. When you do a traditional job, your salary is fixed, your job or your boss may not give you an opportunity to do any other profitable job. But if you work from home on internet, you can make money from more than one source. I usually recommend my students to have more than one source of income, you can do binary trading, blogging, affiliate marketing and freelancing all at the same time. When you manage your time and resources well, you can be making money from over 5 sources per day online, now that a real way to make serious income.
3. You Can Save More
When you begin to avoid paying for commute, buying new dresses every week to look good, and paying for all those office expensive launch, you will begin to see a big difference in your bank account. Working from home doesn’t require you to change wardrobes or pay for commutes, you will have opportunity to control your incomes and manage it prudently.
4. You Make Your Own Schedule
A lot of work that can be done from home can also be done a flexible schedule. For instance, if you a binary option trader, you can choose the time that is most convenient for you to trade. There is no strict time to do your work, you do it whenever it suits you as long as you meet your target or deadlines. If you are the night type, you can put in 8 hours of work per day without starting at 8 AM. Moreover, work from home opportunities give you opportunity to take break in between work and do other meaningful tasks like pick the children from school, prepare dinner for family or even take a peaceful nap. You are totally in-charge of your own hours and schedules when you work from home.
5. Less Stress
Working from home can save you from lot of stress. You do not have to worry about early morning traffic, picking your kids from school, and running other important errands. All these can give you lot of stress when you are stuck with traditional 9 to 5 job.
6. Spend More Time With your Family
If you’ve been craving for more time with those you love and care for, working from home will give you that opportunity to spend time with them. You will get to spend as much time as you want with your wife, husband, or children. You can travel to meet them while still doing your work and making your money working online.
7. You Can Avoid Office Politics
You must have heard the saying “You don’t get to choose your family”. The same saying is applicable in office setting, you don’t get to choose who will be your co-worker. You will avoid all the dangerous office politics when working from home. You will also stay away from all those needless competition in office about who will dress better, drive a better car or wear the latest shoes. You can totally control what happen around you and those that you work with.
Conclusion
When you decided to start working from home, there are lots of benefits you will enjoy. However, one should be very careful when choosing this career path.

Exciting times right? My favorite is the first one. I thought about it the other day. I can literally be anywhere in the world working.
Being in retail for so long really takes its toll on you mentally and physically. I can’t imagine how some people did it their entire lives. I suppose if it’s something you love to do then that’s okay, but even then.. I’ve always hated working for others in a controlled environment. I have such an adventurous spirit, and my whole life I’ve felt so bottled up and restrained.
The time it takes to make an online business flourish is well worth it in my opinion.

Great Stu, I am on the same page as you.
Remember Garland Greene in ConAir: “What if I told you insane was working fifty hours a week in some office for fifty years at the end of which they tell you to piss off, ending up in some retirement village hoping to die before suffering the indignity of trying to make it to the toilet on time? Wouldn’t you consider that to be insane?”
This is a great article. I especially like the part that you said about working from home doesn’t have to be from your “home.” It can be anywhere in the world. Also, the point about multiple sources of income is the best!! You’re right on and being home allows you to open up more possibilities for “streams” of income. Great article and it seems you’ve thought about this a lot!!
Thanks Brenna, I am glad you like it
These reasons are so sweet to the ear!
However, working from home requires significant self-discipline as the success depends only on you and salary is never guaranteed. It is especially hard at the beginning – you sometimes get surrounded by fears, doubts and hesitations. In fact, this is phase where I am now. There is no going back though and the only thing that can be done is going forward!
Margarita, that is a beautiful comment … I am glad you mention some key elements of working from home, the fears, doubts and hesitations, but particularly the self-discipline. For most people, the decision to work from home is coming after realizing that what ever they were doing away from home, like a regular job, was not what they expected. Anyway, that is the “normal” way to do things, right?, but one day they realized there is actually more out there … that is the calling to find new ways … Working from home is not being lazy … it is being smart … it requires effort.
You should realize that you are creating a business … a that is what entrepreneurs do … and believe me, they surely know about fears, doubts and hesitations … but, what keeps them going forward is the conviction, like you said it, that the only way is ahead and there is no going back
Yes, you are so right!
I’m always ways to work online and one day hope to quit my full-time job and focus on my own business.
But the hardest part is getting started, right? It’s very time-consuming. But with a proper business plan and goals for the future, there’s no reason one can’t make it work.
It certainly sounds great to be able to work from home and have your own hours!
Yes, Davby, it is not easy at the beginning, but totally rewarding after little time
