I advocate people auditing their current role and seeing if it is compatible with teleworking, even for part of the week.

Working part time from home has been wonderful for me as I can’t physically handle the demands of a full time, go out to work, job. I can work for a little bit, take a lunch break and nap, work some more, do some housework and take a break and maybe do some more work in the evening. I need all those breaks just to have the energy to keep going for the day, but after I read an article that most office workers/professionals only actually put in 5.5 hours on the job each day, I figure that a work at home person who can at least do that with a good business can succeed.

In many ways cheaper to work at home as you don’t have to have the power clothes or uniforms, no temptations to eat lunch out, no commuting (how many hours a year do people waste in traffic jams commuting?) so less gas and wear and tear on your vehicle.

The poster was right. Someone who claims they want to work at home but doesn’t know what they want to do and doesn’t do any research, doesn’t really want to work from home. They want a rich uncle to die and remember them well in the will. I used to see the same type of question on another forum: “I want to sell on eBay. What should I sell and where do I find it and how do I do it?”. They aren’t even willing to read the ebay guidelines. They want someone to spoon feed them everything so they will make lots of money without even having to work or think.
