Do you like working from home?, Or do you prefer to work in the corporate world. I think I would prefer not worrying about a boss. But of course we all are different so just tell me what your point of view is.

If it was up to me I would work at home but it's not easy finding a legit work at home job. Besides if you want to run a business it takes time and money to get it going, not to mention a lot of stress but I am hoping to build something big in the future with mine since there is a lot of potential with it.

Well thats good to here. Its basically all about managing your faith. Fatih is really the key to success. If you believe in yourself you can accomplish anything that you may want. That is what I'm learning when I have the faith or determination, I have a greater chance of success. Right now I'm with Isagenix a network marketing business. It's a little slow right now but i have a great mentor, and i have a great team of partners, that are coaching me own.

if it's up to me totally,i'd rather like to work at home than go out to participate in social work. well i can make my own schedule and have less pressure. i don't have to do something more other than work. i don't have to deal with the complex relations among workmates. i don't have to waste my spare time on drinking with customers due to the work need. in a word,i don't have to concede myself,just to do things i like. it sounds wonderful and cool while not realistic.

Hi Sophialin... I agree with you. My background has been in the counseling field (similar to social work). It is a relief to not have to deal with complex relations--either workmates or clients. I can work part-time and still count the checks that roll into my mailbox daily and monthly. It's not only wonderful and cool, it IS realistic! www.deliveringonthepromise.com/pj2.

I think if you have been working for at least twenty to thirty years, you would definetely wish to be your own boss. Unless you are having a high position with an equally high salary. Most of the middle income workers would at one time or another in their life wished to be having their own businesses.

Yea you are right about that. Many people are starting to go towards having their own business. But the key that determines alot is the salary of course.

I like selling products via the net as my favorite business to do at home.

I totally believe in working from home. I am a bit skeptical with the idea of depending wholly on internet income. At the moment, I have a outside of home job, while I am building up my cleaning business, writing endeavors, and some online studies. Americans in particular, seem to forget that before the 1900's, most income that families had were something of a home business or family business. Only with the onset of the industrial age did folks get fed the idea that working for someone else was the only avenue for income. Now, I believe the internet is an amazing tool for reaching potential clients; buyers and the like. I also believe that service businesses; whether internet based, or real-world based have amazing potential.

I love working from home. I don't own a business, though. I just do freelance writing and sponsored blogging, and I am considering selling items on eBay on the side. I love being able to be my own boss, though in a way the companies I work for are my "bosses." I just have the freedom to choose my own hours and off days, so long as I get the job done on time.
