Top 10 Reasons to start an at Home Small Business

Here are the top 10 reasons as I see it, to start an at home business.
 
#1 TIME FREEDOM
With an at home business you have the luxury of working on your time schedule when it is convenient for YOU.
 
You alone decide how much or how little you work, and when. You will have more quality time to spend with your family doing the things you enjoy.
 
What is that alone worth to YOU?
 
#2 MONEY
Owning your own small business is the number one way to become a self made millionaire!
It is a fact that more self made millionaires have come from small business’s than all other scenarios combined!
You directly control how much or how little money you make by how much or how little effort and time you put into it.
If you want a raise, work harder….. or smarter?
YOU WON’T GET RICH WORKING FOR SOMEONE ELSE!!
 
#3 PRIDE
Being solely responsible for creating building and ultimately succeeding with your own small business is one of the most rewarding things a person can do in my book.
If you enjoy a challenge, learning new things and a job well done, then a small business is probably a good choice for you.
 
#4 SAVINGS
If your small business is being run from your home, you would be amazed at how much money you save on vehicles,gas, tires,maintenance, insurance etc. Not to mention you can work in your PJ’s if you like. Think of the savings on suits, shoes, clothes etc. Depending on your job tools and equipment, the list goes on and on. Think about it for a minute.
 
#5 TAX BENEFITS
It has been said by more than one individual that everyone should own a small business if for no other reason than the tax benefits!
Any and all expenses considered essential for business could be a deductible expense. If you work out of your home you could possibly deduct part of your mortgage, phone, internet, electricity, water, gas and on and on. It adds up quickly.
 
#6 LEGACY
If you work for someone else, you may spend 10, 20 or even 30 years or more working hard for someone else. only to quit, retire, or die with absolutely NOTHING to leave your loved ones!
The sad truth is that describes the majority of families today.
If you can make it to the end and not burden your kids or leave them with more bills, some people call that a success!
If you have been fortunate in life or if you lived on the bare minimum all your life and scrimped and saved, you might have some money or posetions to leave your family. Probably minimal but better than nothing, or worse.
But imagine if you had built a successful business that provided you a comfortable life, provided you with everything you needed and more, and provided something you could give your family that could insure they have a comfortable life also!
What would that be worth to YOU?

10 Office Etiquette Tips

In this article, I will show you how we need not take our workplaces for granted. Every workplace has a general feel and expected etiquette. It sometimes does not necessarily need to be documented for your to behave in a certain way. The ambience communicates the expectations to you. However in some organizations, expectations are clearly laid out in company code of conduct documentation from Human Resources Department. I have documented common guidelines. I have been a victim of most of the issues mentioned hence these are life and business lessons well learned in my time as an employee and as an employer. There are things I used to take for granted when I was employed which tick me off totally when an employee of mine does them. I realize the concept of sowing and reaping. I am simply walking the same road as my employer who put up with my not so pleasant habits back then. I am now wearing the same shoes Anglo American and CompuServe wore many years ago. Get me right, I was not an outright rebel but there are small things which I would do as an employee while taking for granted the employer’s expectations. I would compensate my personal missions with high pressurized performance. I achieved the results in the end. One such incident was when I was started my business while still full time at a mining operation 60 miles away from my business. Most of what you see below was violated in that period especially on time and use of company vehicles etc.
