From my experience having been involved in working from home on and off for 8 years, I have found 2 main reasons.

Firstly, there is financial aspect. People want to earn greater incomes and be rewarded appropriately for effort they put into their chosen profession. Many people are not rewarded properly for their work output and when comparing themselves to output of others, are disillussioned and depressed about whole matter.

Secondly there is time aspect. Most people seem to have to commit most of their life to an occupation that they really don't like and certainly don't enjoy. Time is spent travelling to and from work, especially in larger cities, way beyond what anybody would reasonably expect to do. More is being demanded from employees today in time that you are at work, to point where you get home and go to bed through exhaustion.

You could summarise this by saying people basically want financial freedom to devote more time to families and to things they would like to do more often. A Better Lifestyle.

These are very real and great desires, but I have learned that working from home brings rewards way beyond anything I ever thought possible!!

Life really is about relationships, with your God, with families and with those you meet on a day to day basis. Without relationships, of any sort, you will lead a very boring and depressing life. With home based business comes added bonus of meeting many different people, in many different circumstances, in ways that really bless you and sometimes infuriate you!!!

You must learn and appreciate quickly that people are your greatest assett in life and indeed in Home Based Business also. Without day to day contact with others, your business will not grow. You may think that you can work internet and grow a home based business devoid of contact with people, but at end of day, who is pushing mouse and hitting keys on keyboards? You are still working with people. You still need to develop relationships with those whom you choose to work with. Without genuine relationships, your business will fail.

I found years ago that in home based business you need to put as much effort into your appearance and your attitude, if not more, as you did when working in secular employment. I had to learn to improve my telephone manner, my enthusiasm on phone, by looking at myself in a mirror while speaking and realise why I couldn't sell anything!!

With a home based business, if you dress casually, but smart, comb your hair, brush your teeth after breakfast, you will feel professional and this will come across in your phone manner and indeed in how you write emails and letters too.
