Do you run a business from home?

lol now that seems a fair reason!

I thought this was worth a bump, interesting article from someone who ditched office life and now works from Coffee shops

BBC News - Chris Ward: The PR boss who works from coffee shops

I have just started my business and to save on start up costs I run the business from home.

I turned the back end of the garage in to an office. I have a set time to be in the office and I break for lunch. At 17.00 I turn everything off and walk away.

Because I have a separate room (proper office - which cannot be entered from the house) I can focus and don't get distracted by other people being in the house. It also means that I can spend a few hours over the weekend if I need to get something done without having a knock on effect on the rest of the family.

For me it works and I love it! I do agree though you have to be a very special type of person to be able to do it and a lot of my friends have said they wouldn't be able too.

Even though this is an old thread, I think it depends on your line of work.

I am an Emergency Locksmith and work from home / my van. I can be called anywhere within a certain radius once, twice or 10 times a day. So having an office / shop doesn't work for me.

Downside is you can never settle and watch anything on the box!!!
