Many people believe that the Holy Grail is to work from home. For example, in Mexico the google search for “Work from home” are more than 135,000 per month.
However, once they start working at home, they realize it’s not like he is painted. In fact, there are 5 mistakes that most falls, you end up leaving to work at home.
1. The workload is much
When one begins to work from home , such as an Internet business, selling products by phone, translator, etc.. something that we forget is the amount of work to do. There are of primary tasks such as answering emails, talking to customers, communicate with suppliers, to arrange a secondary activities as a html page, make copies, or make a powerpoint presentation.
A solution to these problems is to hire an assistant (virtual or in person) to help him or secondary repetitive tasks.
2. There is free time
Although believed to be working a little work from home, the reality is that they work more hours (not straight, but combined are more than eight).
There are jobs to do all the time, and depending on the time you wake up, you can start working at 7am and finish until 11pm.
The solution is to this aspect is to get a schedule like a normal job. Have scheduled breaks, and not be distracted to meet the schedule.
3. Mix home and work
When you work from home, the biggest problem is no distinction between work and home. One moment you can be answering a call from a client, and the other by changing your baby’s diaper.
And more troubling is that all the time you’re thinking about work, you forgot to send a mail, you need to check that a payment was made, etc.
The recommendation is to prepare for work as if you were really working. Breakfast, bathe, get dressed for work, and begin. Once completed, you can change your pajamas.
4. Parents do not respect this work
In most cases, parents will be present with comments like “Get a real job” (even if you win far more money than a formal job).
What happens is that as the working from home is to spend all day at home, imagine you’re watching TV or playing a game on the computer.
The recommendation is to explain what you are doing … and how much you’re earning.
5. Many distractions
The house is made to distract. There is much to be distracted: television, the same computer, video games, food, chores, etc.
The solution in this regard is to seek a formal work space, away from television and private.
6. It all depends
The main question I get from people wanting to work from home is how much money I can win? Everything depends on the business gets, you invest time and form of sales.
What I can say is that everyone who started working in this way, we started as a hobby (taking a formal job), and little by little, it was becoming a job with higher pay.
