There are actually three types of work.
There is going to work at a job for someone.
There's having your own business that you have to go to everyday, like a restaurant owner, a carpet cleaner, just some type of brick and mortar business.
Then there's a home based business, where you work for no one but yourself at home.
I've done all three.
I worked 40 plus hours a week at a restaurant as a cook and waitress.
I owned my own window washing, carpet cleaning business.
I had clients call me and want work done, so I would be gone most of the day out on jobs.
Now I have a home based business.
I stay at home and mainly just work on my computer, when ever I want.
I always thought, I am never going to waitress again, on my feet all day answering to a boss, having to be there on their schedule.
 Or working my own business, where I had to answer to clients, be there when they needed me and work around their schedule.
I said to myself, I'm going to have a home based business, where I don't have to answer to anyone but myself and I don't have to work for anyone else's schedule but my own.
As good as that sounded, having you own home based business takes a lot of dedication.
You have no one telling you what to do or when to do it.
It is all on your shoulders.
And your pay check is $0 until YOU make it.
There are a lot of ups and downs.
You have to learn to stay focused, have the drive to succeed and remember the WHY you started your home based business in the first place.
So, is working from home hard? Yes, it is, at first.
But is it worth it.
Yes again.
I would not change it for the world.
I'm sticking with my home based business, because I know from experience, it is the best thing out there.
