Question???

[Guest guest]

Does anyone out there work from home? I have played this over and

over again in my mind. I am really thinking about doing this. I will

have to set up a nice home office and dismantel my company to get me

out of a lease if I can't sublet. I am a residential appraiser and I

can do this out of my house. I can make about the same money and of

course it will be a 1 woman show. A smaller work load so I can do it

myself, but no overhead or employees to pay, so the money will be

about the same.

I'll have to work out the kinks and I will wait till the busy season

slows down, so it won't be so overwhelming at first.

Ant tips on working from home? I just keep thinking I am killing

myself to keep a business open for what? I can still do my job.

Still make good money, I will work about the same hours, but alot

more will be spent at home and not on the road or in the office. I

will have to do everything myself, but I should do just fine. I've

learned alot about that stuff in the past 2 years. I just think I

have learned that

I can deal with people in business and the homeowners just fine,

can't deal with all the stress of having an office to run

(employees). I am constantly sought out to do or to help or to fix

at work anyways, so it would be less time and stess just to do it

myself right in the first place. Any thoughts?

I do not think after nada wanting me to take care of her and cater

to her, and to fix everything, I am cut out to be someone's boss.

I work hard and I am very good at what I do, but the stress I feel

from dealing with their problems, thier moaning and them always

wanting me for something just gives me flashbacks of nada. I keep

think that if I chose to have a baby, it would be a part of me, I

would love it and do my best to raise the child right. I DO NOT want

to raise employees! HA HA HA! Anyone else out there feel the same or

have gone through this? Even working with people, not just being the

boss,

I find people exhausting and stressful in the workplace. I know you

still have to deal with crap on other aspects of the business. There

is crap not matter what job, but I just don't seem to be able to

deal with the extra bullcrap from co-workers and/or employees.

Go for it!! I mean, it sounds like you have thought it all out, and have

most of the bases covered. It sounds like it would be absolutely perfect!

I know my hubby has always told me that being the child of BOTH parents with

BPD has given me this drive that alot of people don't have. When I get my

mind, my heart, and my soul dedicated to something that i want to make work,

it usually happens. It sounds like it will be the very same way for you too

You have given it alot of thought, and it sounds like only good things can

come from it.

Being a " work from home " mom, I have found that it really is the best way

to live. I have a Ph.D. in English and certification as an Opthomology tech

After working in the working world, I decided to get my Ph.D. in religion

(man, this sounds like i am a full time student...but this is actually fall

out from my nada and fada) I became an ordained minister, and now pick and

choose my " gigs " . I doing weddings, christenings...etc. It's great, and as

far as I am concerned....the only way to go. My only piece of advice to you

is....make SURE you set up " business hours " ...otherwise you end up working

10-12 hour days...and 7 days per week. People have a tendency to feel like,

if you are home...you are " open " . Fight the urge to just do a little " work "

on sleepless nights or on weekends if that is what you choose. (Obviously,

I don't have that luxury as most of the weddings I do are on Saturdays and

Sundays.) At one point, I had such a hard time with it...I actually had to

get up, get dressed for work and pack my lunch just as I would do if I were

headed off to work. Of course, I didn't do that long...just long enough to

get myself acclimated to the new schedule.

Whatever you do, I'm sure you will do a great job and be great at it. I

hope it really works well for you....it has a feeling of success to me

already!
