Challenges of Working From Home

There are many benefits to having your
own business and working from home –
no commute, can set your own hours,
be your own boss, etc.

But along with the benefits also comes
some challenges for those of us who work
from home. Being aware of these challenges
helps overcome obstacles that can hinder
our success. Below are three common
challenges and ways to overcome them.

Staying motivated – You are your own boss
and there is no one else to give directions
or to guide your activities. It’s up to you
to get things done.

Being clear on why you want your own
business can help motivate you during
those times when things aren’t going
as well as you would like. Another helpful
way is to set goals to keep focused and
on track.

Managing your time – There will be times
when other people will expect your
attention or your participation in various
activities simply because you are at home.
You are readily accessible and appear to
be available for other activities.

Setting your business hours and making others
aware of your hours should help alleviate
conflicts with your time schedules. Be firm
with your hours and remind others you are
not available at certain times.

Making decisions – You set your own goals
and plans to achieve them. You are the one
who must make decisions in many areas of
your business from time management to
defining your budget.

Establishing goals and setting priorities
will help with making business decisions.
Be clear on what you want to achieve and
have plans in place to help guide you.

Just being aware of potential challenges of
working from home can be beneficial. And having
some ideas on how to to overcome obstacles
helps us be more successful in business.

To Your Home Business Success,
Donna
