You may already have decided that you want to work from home, but maybe you have not considered what a job it will be to get a new routine which does not relate to the jobs you've had in the past. Tips on how Moms and Dads can enjoy their children and stay home usually don't take into consideration that working from home will mean giving up what free time you already have and replacing it with work time.
Of course, if you choose your new home business carefully, you will avoid scams, but having a career at home, working on the internet and making money online at home will mean that you will be working from a new set of household rules- where you will have to create quiet time, and teach the kids to respect your workplace (your new home office) as well as getting used to the idea that although you are home, you are not there to entertain them 24/7.
Advice for working at home and creating a new job for yourself includes also getting used to the idea that you re your own boss. Would you give you a raise or tell yourself to go get a job somewhere else? Home-Moms have an easier time with this than Dads, I think. They are home based to begin with, and have control of the turf. Advice for Dads would be to try to carry over their workday routines into their new home based business, at least for starters. If your job usually starts at 9, well, that's the time to shut the door on your home office and get to work! Remember, half of working at home is "Work." If you want to work at home in a legitimate home based business, you will have to earn your free time.
More advice and tips: small businesses can expand and grow beyond your initial expectations. In the beginning you may be overwhelmed by al the extra hours you have to put into it, but the whole idea of working to make money at home is learning how to make the best use of your time. So when considering what home based business to put your efforts into, choose one which will eventually go on "autopilot" without having to have more office space, employees, or overhead. Then you will have earned the right to take long vacations and work short hours in your very own legitimate work from home business!
