Good Post, working from home is not easy, we would all like to do it, but sometimes it is harder than going to the office.

This is so true, Tom. I’ve been self-employed for the last six years and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I’ve often thought about giving up during those lean times when I’m feeding my family Macaroni and Cheese three times a week, but as time goes on I’ve less and less of those weeks and more weeks with steak. Really, any particular cheeseburger week is fine by me.
This is a great discussion. In my experience, working from home (home office) can be a huge time saver - no commute, etc. But you must do a lot of phone communications even if you are in the online business, because I think most people actually start trusting you once they hear you on the phone. This applies more for any services you want to promote. Also try doing a monthly telecon with your blog subscribers - I found it useful for my site. If you have a plan and a list of action-items behind it, it does not matter where you are working from: office, home, or starbucks!
[...] Problems Associated With Being Self Employed On a personal note, self employment for those with family is fraught with another set of problems. A steady paycheck keeps a family well supported and many money worries at bay, while self employment may be more akin to times of feast or famine. Are your family members willing to help you achieve your dream of being self employed? [...]
Great post Tom. I have put 4 more points on my site from my experience of seeing various entrepreneurs:

Hi Shankar! Thanks for commenting.It is a good idea to share experiences with other online entrepreneurs.Because this is an international business, depending on your location your problems will differ from mine to some point (how to deal with the IRS, starting a business, bank, just to name a few.)
Hi Bob, I´ll appreciate your comment! starting up a business online is perhaps the hardest thing, you will experience frustration when nothing seems to happen no matter how much you market your site.I would still not change this to a 9 to 5 job. I know that making a business successful takes a lot of time and effort.
I personally suffer from motivation sometimes. It’s hard to really focus in on running a business when you’re self employeed.
I had a period between jobs when I should have worked on my online business but I just got lazy and didn’t.
Staying motivated is definitely a challenge. Keeping a positive attitude certainly helps!
