Is a home-based business more profitable than working
for someone else? Probably not – at least not initially.
Let
me present a comparison for employment in the corporate world vs. home-based business
employment.
In Favor of Corporate Employment
Perks
such as insurance and vacation.
Stability in the form of a regular paycheck
and designated hours.
Interaction with other office personnel.
Very little
risk is required.
You may not need to be a decision maker
In
Favor of Home-Based Business
The satisfaction of developing
something unique to your personality.
The courage to accept risk and give
life to your dream.
Are on hand to help in family emergencies.
The joy
of determining your own course and making your own decisions.
Interaction
with family.
Perks such as personally meeting a need for both customer and
family.
I’m happy to say the entrepreneurial spirit is alive
and well in home-based businesses. More and more people are leaving the corporate
world in favor of the hard work associated with a home-based business. The risks
are dwarfed by the rewards in most cases and families are fighting to find a way
to connect in a greater way. In times past one income may have been sufficient
to meet the needs of most families. However, time and taxes have a way of making
two incomes something more than just a luxury in the 21st century.
Moms
especially may find themselves very interested in a way that will allow them to
interact with their children while bringing in income. Many have discovered that
home-based businesses can offer the opportunity to be a stay-at-home parent and
provide for the financial well being of the family.
Interestingly
many of these new home-based business owners are also finding that some of the
expenses they incurred in the corporate world are minimized. There is no commute
expense, no specific wardrobe to consider and daycare is all but eliminated.
Some
home-based business owners have found they can actually make less and still provide
a greater overall benefit to the family income.
Many home-based
business owners will also say that family communication and connections also improved
once a home-based business was established.
I suppose some
home-based businesses were developed as a means of reclaiming a sense of family
unity – a defense mechanism if you will.
Whatever the reasons
for home-based business development, the trend continues to grow as personal passion
for a product or service is fused with the reclamation of family.
In
the end, home-based business is a mechanism that is bringing families closer together.
If for no other reason, this is reason enough to celebrate.
