MAJOR PROBLEMS FACING RUNING AN HOME OFFICE AND WAY OUT.
Let me assure, it is wonderful. After having been my own boss, the thought of getting up every day and going to work for someone else seems terribly unpleasant. But being your own boss and run everything within an home office, like everything else, has its own-set of problems.Here is some of the problems facing work at home or setting an home office and way out..
One of this new problems you're likely to encounter is a sense of what call ISOLATION and LONELINESS. After years of my experience as home-office owner, i have been bury and marry to what i do, which never give any chance to really enjoy life with family and friends, this can be a very daunting prospect. We all need people-contact. I will advice all home office runners to make it an habit to get out of the house at least once and preferably twice a day. Meet friends for lunch or dinner. Join a volunteer organization or home-base business group or forum of other entrepreneurs. Also exercise with friend stay in touch with friends via the phone, internet. Working alone or at home doesn't mean you have to be lonely. My dear home business runner, you just have to make a conscious effort to get out and see people as often as you feel the need. All this will help you eradicate the problem of Isolation and Loneliness in your chosen home business.
Second is how to Differentiate between your home office hour and your rest of life. As wonderful and interesting as your work may be, you need to turn it of when the day work is over. Otherwise, you 'ill burn out. Here is all you need to do, have a separate office space, preferably an entire room, that's reserved for work. If you don't have room for an office, put up a screen or some kind of partition around your work area. I advice to have a separate phone for your business which will only use during office hours. When you work is done, you want to be able to close the door on it, so you can turn yourself to be a good father/mother, husband, spouse, parent, neighbor, sport fans, friends or whatever.
Third problem you may likely to confront in running an home office is what i call Resisting all the temptation, interaction and distraction that can keep you from working or achieve your daily goal. Watching television, calling friends or visiting, been interrupt by family member, trading the refrigerator are all welcome distraction that keeps you away from what you need to do during an office time. The only way to overcome this, is by treating your home office or working hour like a job.The worst example of an home office setup that i can think of is a card table in a corner of your bedroom. Establish a separate place and a specific hours, so you can work without any distraction or interruption. Note that no television, no personal phone call, no food except break time. No any attention to family except is urgent and emergency in nature.
Fourthly, taken decision on what you going to achieve on a daily bases, i will advice to write all you need to work on done at every closing day, before next day work begins. Some people find it difficult to write all they need to get done and way they dress during an office hour. Do only work related task in your office, that will be another clue, that's time to go to work when you step in your office. Working from home is not a perennial vacation. Making a million doesn't come from hours you put in your work, but what you get done within your working hours.
Finally, another problem you may confront in your home office or working at home, is how to convincing friend, nei
ghbor and members of your family that working from home is work. You aren't on tap for a drop-in visits, watching their children, running errands, or listening to their problems during work hour of moment they see you in that place call office. Politely tell others, "This is my new job. If i don't make a good of it, i am going to have to get a new job or ask you to support me" They wouldn't dream of making such demands of you if you work in a traditional office setting.
