Written by Angela Wu


Continued from page 1

STARTING A HOME BASED BUSINESS -------------------------------

Advantages:

+ You are your own boss. You makerepparttar decisions, and answer only to business and to your customers.

+ Lots of variety! You have a hand in everything - you arerepparttar 117774 product developer, marketer, janitor, secretary, web designer, and bookkeeper, all rolled into one.

+ Income potential is unlimited! You're not restricted to how muchrepparttar 117775 boss decides you'll make. You ARErepparttar 117776 boss!

+ You can exercise your creativity and independence. You decide onrepparttar 117777 type of business you want, in an area for which you have a passion. Business can be FUN, and you haverepparttar 117778 opportunity to make it "yours"!

+ You haverepparttar 117779 opportunity to pursue your "dream". You may have a vision that you'd like to see achieved - now you can give it a try!

Disadvantages:

- You are your own boss. Yes, this can be perceived as a negative as well as a positive! You haverepparttar 117780 ultimate responsibility forrepparttar 117781 success of your business.

- There's an element of risk. Every business, regardless of what it is, comes with a risk of failure.

- You provide your own health care benefits.

- Income is variable. Your business will go through both good and bad times, which may make it harder to plan. Plus longer hours don't necessarily translate into more income... at times you may find yourself working long hours just to survive! It also takes time before you begin to turn a profit.

- Long hours! The prevailing myths that home business owners sleep in, watch daytime TV, and generally have a 'relaxed' lifestyle are generally not true. Most home business owners work far more thanrepparttar 117782 typical 40-hour work week.

It takes all types of people to runrepparttar 117783 world... not everyone is meant to run a business, and not everyone will flourish when working a job. Decide what's right for *you* - and then set out to achieve it.
