When I started my own business years ago, I noticed quite a difference from working in an office environment and working from home. I was use to the hustle and bustle of a busy office with the phoning ringing off the hook, unproductive meetings and my team constantly wanting something or another.

Here is What I Think are Advantages of Working from Home...

We can...

• Save hours a day in commuting time.

• Relax. No one's looking over our shoulder, monitoring our every move.

• Eat healthier.

• Schedule dentist and doctor appointments easier.

• Work in our robe. There's no longer a dress code.

• Save money and time with our cars in gasoline, repairs, tires and general wear and tear.

• Take on the "I'll do it all" attitude and eliminate child care.

• Save our company relocation and overhead expenses.

• Save money on lunches out.

• Take the family to Hawaii with money saved on business suits and dry cleaning.

• Have an office with a window.

• Gain a tax deduction on a portion of our mortgage and utilities, if we are self-employed.

• Listen to our intuition easier because there are fewer distractions.

• Focus because no one's interrupting us every second.

• Set our own work hours.

• Enjoy closer relationships with our family.

• Don't have to take time off work for repair people to come to our house.

• Work from a comfortable chair and desk that we like and is perfect for our needs.

• Do more in a lot less time.

• Schedule time for exercise easier.

• Have a larger and nicer office, decorated just the way we want it.

• Live anywhere. (I have coaching clients in New York City, Orange County, Austin, Denver and for a time, in London.)

• Because of all of the above, produce a higher quality of work.

After writing this blog, all I can say is, I really appreciate working from home. I didn't realize how many advantages there are.
