    Great article. I'm currently working on establishing my own business to get out of the rat race.

    Starting a home business requires a lot of devotion and commitment because you want this new venture to be successful. Answering these types of questions will help determine whether or not you're a fit for working on your own and being your own boss. Great information here!

    see, I wonder about the difference between external motivation (9-5 job) and internal motivation (work from home). I feel that I would lose focus very quickly on my own, and need some external factors to keep me on task- that means for me I need deadlines that I havent set for myself and performance indicators that are to a certain extent imposed on me.

    Great article, I work from home as a self emplyed web designer, and it's always good to get a fresh perspective on what I do. Sometimes you just get in a "rut" and this seems like a good way to get yourself motivated again.

    Thanks for the great comments everyone. I have always hated these types of interview questions, but I really find them useful when considering going out completely on my own.

    Mikael - Your blog is quite interesting - I like the varied topics and your strong opinions. Either use my contact form, send me an email or maybe we can hook up on twitter (i'm sarach) and we can discuss the possibility of me guest blogging. I'd be interested to see what sort of content you'd like me to contribute. =)

    I believe that everyone has a dream to be working for himself and not answer to anybody, and that will be my goal these couple years ahead.

    Do you sell pajama?

    Cheers,

    Good tips. I think that someone who is considering working for themselves should read this first to learn that you often work longer hours with more work when you own your own business.Thanks for sharing!

    I don't suppose you have any advice for ad hoc situations? I'm finding myself in one, taking on a site project to raise money for a very worthy charity ... not because I want to or feel especially capable, but because it needs to happen.

    Sorry for the largely off topic digression! A friend of mine found a kitten on Bainbridge Island who'd been drop kicked, and I've agreed to help raise money for an MRI and whatever treatment the cat winds up needing. It's not what I'd choose to be doing, but the cat is suffering, and my friend, who found it, needs help. I've tried this once before, but if you have any advice, I'll be eternally grateful.

    Most people just don't have what it takes to stay home and work. Even the most independent hard working professional seldom can make it work in a home environment . Not only do most people not have mentality it takes to be their own boss, few stay at home workers realize or can accept that for the first couple of months or years you will work from the moment you get up until the moment you go to bed, and you only are allowed an afternoon nap if you are like me blogging away at three in the morning.

    Good Post Sara

    There certainly are a multitude of reasons why working from home is great, my personal favorite is not having to commute 1 hour to work and 1 hour back each day - Ugh!

    I like the fact I save at least $50 bucks a week on fuel for my car and I can pick the kids up from school.

    It takes some serious self discipline though, a clear defined schedule is important.

    Cheers.

    Great post. Solid doable tips. Sadly many that claim to want success will do nothing but make up excuses for their situation nand set of circumstances.

    Nice list...I think I may re-purpose the list for colleagues who are looking to work at home or to go virtual. You need to think through the second-order consequences, not just the obvious like connectivity.

    My reasons are entirely different and none of them matches with described in the post. When I started my internet life, I had no other way or solution. Someone said me to do this and I did that. I don't know what am doing with me or with my internet business but its like a passion and life.

    However, I would like to add to my work load and income. Are there any data entry work from home jobs that I can apply for that do not require me to pay them for the job?
