Have you decided or maybe just wondering what it is like, to become a digital entrepreneur, freelance writer or remote employee working from home? Well, the truth is that for many of the people who choose to go for this lifestyle, it is really a life changing career and even close to be a dream career. Here are some of the benefits of this way of living that might help you take the decision of a lifetime:
A feeling of freedom
Working from home gives you a feeling of Freedom! With less restrictions and less limitations, every day of life is an adventure!
You can spend more time with your children, you no longer must wear business clothes for every single day. If you are an entrepreneur or freelancer, you can manage your own working hours without the necessity to negotiate with a boss. Yes, there may be times you have to work nights or weekends, but you decide when work start and when work stops, and this, is a luxury that makes the difference.
Low-Cost Start-Up
This is mostly (but not only) beneficial for entrepreneurs and freelancers. To get involved in a business is remarkably inexpensive to start up, compared to most other careers. The main piece of equipment that you need is a quality computer and a reliable Internet connection, with possibly a printer. But let's face it! Who today do not already own that! Your computer becomes your office and then fill in optional items as your business begins to grow. Therefore, you can start up as a virtual assistant, freelance writer, tutor or videographer, and own a business with low-cost investment, just with your computer.
Financial rewards
Rather than needing enough of professional clothing for daily office work, all you need is one or two decent outfits to wear when meeting with clients, which really helps when it comes to save money on gasoline and car maintenance. This money can now largely stay in your pocket or your bank account and, by telecommuting, you’ll be kinder to the environment. Not only you save money but if you are a creative entrepreneur, you can rapidly realise how rewarding it is financially to make a living selling your services and potentially, create an unlimited income. You can read of lot of those success entrepreneurship stories on websites such as fiverr.com and upwork.com.
Making a Difference
By working from home, you may also have opportunities to make a difference in other people’s lives. Perhaps, by working as a freelance writer and writing journalistic pieces about a promising new test for cancer, you can help people get earlier diagnoses and increase their chances to be cured. Or maybe you can share information about fundraising walks to raise money to fight hunger and, through your passionate prose, inspire people to participate in those walks with all their hearts. There is no better feeling than knowing that something you did made a positive difference in other people’s lives and many home-based workers have that opportunity.
Additionally
Other outcomes of working from home are the ability to be more productive when it comes to meetings and public events as it is the occasion to interact and perform in a social environment. People with a more introvert personality have a better chance to work and be comfortable in their own way. And finally, a decreasing of more than 50% on your level of stress, by working home, you don’t have to deal with the outside challenges that very often lead to the unknown, you only have to consider your sweet home environment.
Bottom line, Working from Home comes with a lot of benefits, however this doesn’t mean it is for everyone. If you have a social personality and need to constantly be in contact with other human beings, this work lifestyle may not be your cup of tea. However, if this is something that you seriously consider, do not think twice and go set yourself for success no matter where you work.
