10 Reasons to Start your own Online or Home Based Business - By: Oblongpie

1) You get to spend more time with your family. This is the number one reason people start a business. You only get a cerain amount of time. So spend it close to the people you love!

2) You create wealth for yourself. Being a wage slave means that your boss makes more from your work than you do; it is called profit. If you employer doesn't make at least a decent margin, say 30% then you are probably about to be fired, downsized, whatever.

3) Choose your own hours. Work when there is real work to be done, not just because of a time clock or your rostered hours. Just imagine you can work to knock out your workload, and then leave! How many hours do you spend looking busy or dragging out projects so you won’t get bored? Or imagine telling your boss that you've finished your work so you would like to leave for the day…

4) Your earnings are... ALL the money that you earn. When you decide your own salary you can earn a raise. Imagine saying “I want a raise next week” and then you make it happen.

5) Tax Benefits. These are real and not emphasized often enough. You can save thousands in taxes when you know what you can deduct as business expenses. Your accountant will be able to set you up properly, and you may want to incorporate.

6) No more Commuting. Unless you count as commuting your bedroom to your home office (which may even be in your bedroom!). The average worker wastes almost 10% of their week getting to and from work. That’s a lot of time. Imagine getting a 2 hour lunch break – you could work out every day AND learn a new skill utilizing the extra hour

7) You pick where why and how you live! You no longer have to worry about living close to work. In the city, at the beach, in the hills, on a boat - you decide. As long as you have an internet connection, and a smartphone you can work anywhere, anytime! If you want, take the kids to work, (by the pool) or at the airport on the way to their summer break.

8)Get rid of the overheads; Life gets cheaper when you work from home. If you want (consult a tax professional first) you can deduct a portion of your rent or mortgage payments. You also save on office rent and furnishings. Let the corporate poohbahs blow their budgets on the antique oak desk.

9) Holidays and sick days whenever you need them! Take what you need but be careful - don’t abuse this one…

10) You no longer waste time or emotional energy hating your boss or your employer. Negativity drains your resources, lowers the quality of your work. You’ll be the best boss, because you know what to say and do to motivate your #1 employee.
