First, I'll sing the praises of working from home. Oh, the freedom! Oh, the flexibilty! Oh, the ability to be in the company of my little baby all day long, experiencing her first steps and her toothy grin!

I love working from home...partly because I love my job so much. I love the company that I work for and I am committed to its success.

All those things said, it is extremely easy to work too much (too early, too late, too often) - especially if you have "workaholic tendencies" like me. :)

Six years ago we started part time, 13,000 in sales.
This week we will crack $100,000.00 in sales for 07'
We have outgrown our home-based business and are now looking for a building to invest in. I hate rent.
Anyway, we have been blessed with good business, mostly by word of mouth and quality work.
I never thought it would happen this way, but we have tryed to stay consistant and things have paid off.
It will be a big step to leave the home everyday again, when we do make the move.
Hardest thing we be leaving my inventory somewhere else at night, but that is why they made insurance.

My wife runs a band instrument repair business from our house, and I have a corporate job that lets me work from home.

I have zero interest in the soup-to-nuts of running a business. Too much work, not enough money or fun IMO. I prefer to have the support of a large specialized team, and since the systems we develope are used by hundreds of thousands of employees everyday, no small business can live up to that.

My wife, however, loves it. She likes not having a boss and being able to say "I own my own business". I've been able to help her out some-what with time management, negotiation and contract creation stuff, due to my experiences in the corporate world.

It's great to be able to live and work with your wife. Some days she travels to distribute work, others she works in the house with me. It's a good life if you can get it.

Winning the Jake Steinfeld Live your Dream Contest helped me launch my www.MathMosis.com website providing educational products for children and allowed me to stay home with my two children. I now get to pursue the two things I am most passionate about in life- spending time with my beautiful babies and helping children learn outside of the classroom. As a mom and a teacher life couldn't be better!

I am 72 years old and would like to supplement my income. Can't do the hard work I used to but still want to work. At home would allow me to work where ever I go.
Some help please.

I jumped at the chance to work at home as a virtual assistant. I have three children and the cost of daycare alone was half my check, not to mention gas and lunch!!! I really enjoy working at home, but I have to remind myself to take a break and remember why I chose to stay home. Its a big job trying to grow a business and be a mama.

I used to be a work-a-holic. I worked every weekend I could but the Job industry began to decay more than 4 years ago and in a thriving 5,000 strong EMC CO. It dwindled down to 300 by 2006. Since I started my Home Business, www.globalwealthsys.biz, I earn 3 times more and have all the time in the world. Being home all the time is strange but I have a beautiful wife and we really enjoy the fruits of my two hours a day labor! I think Home-Business is going to take over Corporate America because it just makes more sense.

I'm a retired nurse and just started making gift baskets. I am going to start at craft shows and word of mouth. There is nothing like this in our area. I'm not looking for fame or big money, just something to do. I just made up business cards and a few pages of pictures. My intent is to make a brochure and my son is going to make me a website in the near future. We'll see what happens. I love being at home.

Over the past several years I have written dozens of business plans that were based strictly on home-based business designs and have many other ideas that I have never put to pen (or type). I believe my passion is the creative concepts and coming up with new twists to old ideas and some entirely new ideas. I want to create ideas and business plans for people who are looking for unique home based businesses to get into and help them expand the concept. I know the ideas I have written bussiness plans could be successful but everytime I finish one I come up with a new idea and start on it. Any ideas on where and how I should start by starting my own home based think tank?
