10 Powerful Reasons Why You are Crazy Not To Start A Home Business

Posted by Laura Hess, Sep 8, 2010

Home Based Businessare springing up all over and are growing to be the most desirable business to start. Just think what it would be like to never worry about grid lock again, or not having to jump at a bosses demands.

In todays fast paced world a little extra income does not hurt either, even if you keep your day job. Making extra money is a strong motivator for becoming a home business owner. If you need a little convincing that having a home business is the right thing for you, read on. I will give you 10 reasons for why now is the time to start your home business and start earning.

Reason 1. Be your own Chief. Starting a business from home puts you in charge of your work. You make all the decisions about what to do and when, and you never have to answer to another person again.

Reason 2. Work when you want to. Especially for work-at-home moms or dads who want to spend more time with family, this can be a strong motivator. Being able to set your own schedule and hours means you can work around your familys activities. Flexibility equals freedom.

Reason 3. Freedom to do what you want. Being the boss and able to schedule your work hours gives you the freedom to do what you want, when you want to, and with whom you want to do it. It gives you far more control of your life.

Reason 4. No more worry about job security. Having your home based business takes any worry about getting a pink slip away. The current business climate means there is no security with a job. Those days are over. Being a home business owner is the only way to have job security.

Reason 5. It does not interfere with your current J.O.B. That is right, you do not have to quit your day job to get started. You can start on a part-time basis until you are able to replace your current income. Once you have done that, quitting will be easy and money wo not be a problem.

Reason 6. You could become a more confident person. Starting a business from home takes courage. Having an idea and bringing it to life, in spite of any obstacles and risks, grows your confidence in yourself. You can do anything.

Reason 7. It builds a sense of pride. Calling yourself a Homepreneur has a special feel to it. You join the growing ranks of others who have also taken control of their lives. You feel a sense of pride at doing what you set out to do in starting your home business. And that pride is a motivator to help you set and achieve future goals as you continue to grow your business.

Reason 8. It is all for the Money. Money is an obvious motivation for starting your home business. It is not the only motivation, but if money is not part of the mix, do not bother starting at all. All you will really have is a hobby you get to work/play in every day. You want to be doing something you love, of course, but make sure you also want to make money at it. It may not buy happiness, but money makes a lot of things possible.

Reason 9. The tax benefits are very attractive. You get special tax benefits by being able to make use of home based business deductions. Use a professional to help you make the most of your deductions – someone with home business experience is preferable. No matter what, be sure you know what you can take as a deduction so you can minimize your tax burden.

Reason 10. Be Able to retire early. Setting up your business right from the start gives you the ability to earn whatever you want. You can invest it and build your nest egg so when the time comes, you can choose to retire. On the other hand, retirement does not mean you have to stop working, only that you no longer have to. So build your business, make tons of money, and retire if you want to. …or not.

Give it a little thought and you will probably come up with your own list of reasons why starting and owning home business now is the right decision. Decide to start your business, learn what you need to know to make sure the home business you start is set up for success, and have fun in the process.
