Why choose a Home Business?

Why choose a Home Business?
There are many short and long-term benefits of joining or starting a home business. The tax benefits are very significant, in many cases allowing you to pay for many items with before tax dollars that you might normally pay for with after tax dollars. Generally there is also a large incentive to invest in your own business as most, if not all expenses related to building your home business, whether it is internet/computer related expenses such as hosting to advertising or printing, can be paid for with before tax dollars. Of course many communication, shipping and/or general transportation costs may very well fall under this category. In fact, many people decide to join a home business opportunity entirely for the tax breaks associated with it.

Joining a Home Business also offers unprecedented freedom. There is perhaps nothing more valuable in life than freedom, and working your own home business, especially one that utilizes e-commerce, allows you to eventually decide your own schedule, your own vacation time, and in fact your own destiny. Every year, thousands of people decide to take control of their lives and future by going into business for themselves. Even among those laid off or downsized, self-employment can be as much an act of liberation as desperation. Studies have shown that starting in the early 1980's, home businesses have grown from about 5 to 30 million. This is because people are taking a second look at their priorities. People are asking themselves if the commute to work is really worth it. Is the stress and aggravation worth it. Are you working just hard enouph to avoid getting fired? Are you being paid just enouph to keep you from quiting? Is your work creative and inspirational, and are you making a difference in other peoples lives? Is every day merely a struggle in a dog-eat-dog environment?

Every year, more and more people discover the joy and time freedom of residual income and home businesses. They realize that there so many tangible as well as intangible benefits associated with this kind business. They learn that you do not commute, and there is no dress code. You do not compete with people that you are elbow to elbow with. And once established, you are not restricted to one area. You can travel at will!
