Home based businesses, especially Internet businesses became very trendy lately, and for the right reasons. Some may wonder why so many people own home based businesses. I will give you six reasons why you would rather choose this over owning or being employed in the conventional business.1) When you work from home, you have more time to spend with the people that matter most to you, namely your family. Most working people don’t get to spend much time with their loved ones, especially during the week. Well, if you work from home, you do, all the time.2) When you work from home, you get to set your own hours. If you work in an office, you will most likely have to be there by nine o’clock in the morning and stay till five or six in the afternoon. What if you like to sleep late, or get in early? You won’t be able to do that because you have to work the regular hours. However, if your business is home based, you can usually set the working hours to your advantage.3) Think about all the days that you are stuck in traffic on the way to work. Think about all the times that you had to stand on the train or bus all the way to work because all the seats were taken. (This is already after waiting for half an hour in the cold rain or blistering heat.) Think about all the times that you had to drive around the block ten times until you found a decent parking spot. When you work from home you don’t have all these problems.4) What happens if you wake up one morning and you have a headache or a hangover from the party that you went to the previous night? You would love to sleep for another hour or two, but you don’t want to miss the bus or come late to work. On the other hand you also don’t want to take the whole day off because you have so much that you need to accomplish. When you have a home based business, you don’t have that problem. You can sleep for another hour and then you can get out of bed, work for three hours and then get back into bed. Heck, you can even bring your laptop computer into bed and work from there.5) In a home based business there’s practically no overhead at all. There are no office expenses; you use the same telephone, gas and electric that you use for your house. You have no travel expenses like bus or train fare, parking, gasoline and toll, and the maintenance cost for your car is much less because you don’t have to travel that much. You don’t need a car, bus or train, all you need is a desk and chair, and probably a computer. Usually you don’t need any storage space for home based businesses. Basically there is almost no cost to run a home based business and anyone can do it.6) Above all, you can basically choose to do whatever you want. When you are looking for a conventional job, you can only choose from whatever there is available out there. When you want to open up a conventional business, there must be a need for it in your area and it has to fit in your budget. However, with a home based business, almost anything goes. There are so many opportunities out there. You can choose from all types of businesses from around the globe, on and off the internet.I fully understand that not all of the above reasons pertain to each and every home based business. I also understand that there might be some benefits in a conventional business over the home based business. Most people would agree that the benefits are more with a home based business, especially if you are a well organized and consistent person.In summary, the benefits of a home based business is that you can decide when, how and where to work, and for how long. There is less hassle, and less overhead. There are more choices for you, and you can spend a lot of time with your family.
