It seems many people want to work from home, but in some cases, the home office could be holding their business back. Let's take a look at some of the reasons why.
Imagine you start your work from home business, building it steadily to the point where you need to hire someone to help you out. Maybe they can get on with less challenging tasks while you continue building your work from home business. At this point, you could waste time, money and even break the law.
By having someone work in your home, you could be breaking zoning laws for a start. You might even waste your valuable time and money advertising a job that no one wants. While I am quite happy to work out of my box room, how many people do you know who would be happy to do the same?
You might also lose a big contract if you have to hold your big sales pitch in Starbucks. That would break my heart for sure. In fact, shutting yourself away in your home office might even prevent you meeting the people that offer the big contract in the first place.
These are just some of the considerations you face when you start your work from home enterprise. I know I can only grow my business so far, but when the time comes, I won't hesitate to quit my home office, so I can move up to the next level.
