Home Based Businees(or SOHO)
As computer technologies and Internet have been developing faster and faster, home based business works greatly other than the oldest profession. Low set-up budget, computer-based-work at home and convenience make Home Based Work popular,even successful for some people. Home Based workers are also called SOHO(Small Office or Small Office)
One of my friends made about US$700 his first month working at home, his second month he made more than US$1,000.Some of his friends are also working at home,doing different business.Some are very successful.they create their own trading company just starting from SOHO. But others are just so so,even failed and went to back to work for other people. Why there exist so great difference ?
“Your attitude to your work, your ability to focus when you are on your own, being able to prioritise well and being able to say ‘no’ – it’s those skills that are important [for a homeworker],” said Mick Hegarty from BT Business.He added that having these characteristics is more important than an employee’s circumstances and noted that a teleworker should be “realistic” about the benefits of running a business from home.
It is suvey that 65 per cent of people who start businesses do so from home in order to increase the flexibility of their working day.57 per cent of those polled in a London-based survey said that the desire to achieve lower overheads was one of the key reasons they would wish to run a business from home.
So, it seems that whether you succeed in home based business or not is determined by your attitued to your business,your moviation to your work as well as your ability to prioritise your work.
