In my POV the number 1 disadvantage of working from home is isolation. You don't have colleagues to share ideas with.

Thats a very go point there. They always say 2 heads are better than 1. It can also be frustrating you have an idea and you don't have a colleague/s to help you foster it.

The biggest one is the time. It seems we have so much time available that we can leave some job to do something else, forget about the first one and when remember just don't finish. There is this professional blogger of http://www.problogger.net/ and he stabilished the hours he MuSt work and things are going fine, we can see that in how the blog is organized and updated. Never miss. My cousin works at home and she just stabilish 8 hours, she even think before going to the bathroom like she is working outside. Once I called her and she talked to me like a professional and hang up soon, she takes it really serious. She done fine, got rich :D

not everyone who works at home has the luxury of sleeping in nor dressing 'unprofessional' at home because of meeting with clients and no one that i know that works at home has any time to even glance at the tv set. it is called motivation that drives the worker that works at their home.

The biggest disadvantage to working from home is training yourself to leave work. Since one works at home they tend to do just one more thing or work long hours. Family and personal time are vital to a well rounded life.

Hi dear thats sounds like something my second parents can't avoid. It is as if they are working 24hrs a day each day. Their phones ring any hour of the day or night. Thats something that would drive me nutts because if my phone rings too often i go balistic.

Mediocrity. Our self is our greatest enemy. It can be our best friend, and it can be our worst enemy. How you handle yourself will determine your future success. I mean your discipline, and your fighting spirit. Since working from eliminates the often demanding boss, you are not pressured to produce more. The demand to bring out the best in your is not that high.

That is so true we are our own success or failure. So no matter where we are in terms of work place it depends on us to make it a great success.
