"Why You Should Start A Home Based Business NOW!"

This is the first in a series of articles for those people that want to work for themselves from home. 

This series of 10 articles, Building a Profitable Home Based Business details the challenges and opportunities of developing a business that you can work from home. This first post, I call “Why Start a Home Based Business?” discusses, at a high level, the rationale for starting, building and operating a business that you can run from your home. 

In future posts we’ll explore pragmatic considerations such as finding the right business opportunity, whether you want an online business opportunity or a face to face one, how to finance, how to incorporate, insurance, dealing with the mail, and other resources, but first, let’s start from the very beginning:  Why Start a Home Based Business?

Freedom
There are a myriad of reasons people work in their own business from home, but the one common element across all of them is: Freedom

People who choose to work for themselves experience a sense of freedom that they cannot experience working for “the man.” It is this point and this point alone that drives the majority of people to self-employment.

A successful home-based business gives its owner freedom in many forms:

• freedom from layoffs;
• freedom to spend time with your children;
• freedom to spend time with your spouse;
• freedom to spend time on personal interests;
• freedom to make as much money as your strategy will allow;
• freedom to work from anywhere that your strategy will allow.

Retirement Play 
Unlike a home based job, where you still work for someone else and can be fired, a home based business, to a large degree, is something that it’s owner can take with them well into retirement. There is no reason that a 68 year old, 72 year old, even an 85 year old cannot have a successful business running a blog :), selling a product on eBay, acting as a consultant, selling real estate, or one of the other dozens of opportunities that we will discuss here at The Best Home Based Business & E-Commerce Business Tips Blog over the coming weeks.

Moreover, virtually all of the options discussed you can start with less than $2500 (some less than $1000) while you are working, so the cost to start a home business is not generally the issue for most entrepreneurs. You build them slowly, part time, while you work your day job, so you don’t miss a step when the time comes to step down. 

You simply turn the lights off in one office and walk downstairs and turn the lights on in your home office – ready to rock and roll, vibrant and excited about the opportunity that you have created for yourself for the next 20 or 30 years – you’re so smart!

In upcoming posts we will discuss practical considerations of a home-based business: Getting the Basics Right So You are Set up for the Long Run. Look for this shortly.
