Five Reasons To Work From Home
Whatever your reasons for wanting to work from home, here are five more that might convince you it’s time to go for it – and they’re all about your kids.
1. You’ll teach your children self-reliance. Even a very young child can play by themselves for a few minutes while a parent works, and an older child can supervise younger ones. In either case, your child learns to depend on his or her own resources for a time.
2. Kids will learn more etiquette by overhearing your (hopefully) courteous business conversations than from any amount of lecturing you do.
3. Your kids learn the value of doing their best and that hard work is rewarded. Any business – home based or not – will succeed only if you do your best work 100% of the time. When your kids see how hard you work to finish a project they’re seeing real-life evidence that giving your best effort is always worthwhile.
4. You will forever debunk the myth that money grows on trees or magically comes out of the ATM. Money is one of the rewards of hard work, and one of the reasons why mom or dad can’t go to the park until after lunch.
5. Kids of work-at-home parents learn fundamental lessons about how businesses work.
Don’t forget the best reason of all to work from home – a better balance of family and work. Working from home is a practical way to show your kids how important to you spending time with them really is.
