One of the great things about working from home is that you don’t have to STAY at home. Here are 4 different places that you can choose to work your home based business from!
1. A Coffee Shop
Coffee is the official drink of work isn’t it? It seems like no office would be complete without a big pot of coffee to keep their employees working hard. Many coffee places today offer free WiFi in their stores so you get the big comfy chairs, the relaxing atmosphere, free internet AND yummy coffee to keep you working… what’s not to like? It’s also a lot less expensive than working in a restaurant and they usually don’t mind if you set up shop for a couple of hours. It’s just the perfect spot for almost anyone.
2. Your Own Backyard
That might sound crazy but sometimes it’s not about being far, far away from home it’s just about getting outside for a while. If you sit outside with your laptop you can probably still pick up your internet signal from inside the house. You can watch the kids play, maybe get a tan and just enjoy the freedom that you wouldn’t have if you were stuck in a cubicle all day. A picnic table or some patio furniture and a glass of lemonade make this the perfect set up and it’s free!
3. The Mall
This one might seem a little out there for some people but sitting in the food court of a mall can be a great place to get some work done. Here’s why. There are lots of people buzzing around so if you’re writing a blog post or an article there is plenty of inspiration. Also, there’s nothing like going and checking out that pair of shoes or that outfit you want to motivate you to work a little harder. Of course if you’re the type of person who has to have quiet in order to get work done this is not the best option for you. But some people work best with a little noise around them and this is one of the best spots for that. Plus you have your choice of a bunch of different restaurants!
4. On The Beach
This really is the dream scenario isn’t it? Sitting on the beach (or in a cabin in the mountains that’s what you’re into) relaxing and enjoying the day and getting a little work done while you’re at it. Obviously most of us can’t do this one year round but your work just won’t seem as hard if you’re doing it while sipping a mai-tai and feeling the sand in your toes.

6 Reasons Why Working for the "Man" Sucks
If you have a regular job like most people do you know what I know… working for “the man” absolutely sucks! There is nothing like owning your own business and being your own boss and once you know just how great it is you’ll never go back to corporate America. However, for those of you who haven’t experienced the true bliss of being boss free here are a few reasons why working for “the man” or any man sucks!
6. Would you like some bread with that traffic jam
Long commutes are one of the worst things about having a job. When you work from home your commute is from the bed to the chair!
5. Paycheck… what paycheck?
When you have a job they can pay you whatever they want to pay you. Whether it’s what you’re really worth or not. When you work for yourself you can decide to make more or less. Want a raise? Just give yourself one!
4. Two words…. Dress code
Showing up to work in your pajama pants is probably not an option at your job. When you work from home ever day is casual Friday. VERY casual Friday.
3. Office politics
If you’re like me you’re not about sucking up to the boss to get ahead however in many work places that’s exactly what you have to do to become successful. If you’ve ever been passed over for a promotion you know you deserved you know just how annoying office politics can be!
2. No job is safe
As much as your boss will probably tell you that you’re a valuable assent to the company the truth is that you could literally lose your job at any time. Many people go into fields that they believe will help them have more job security but at the end of the day when you work for someone else you can never be 100% sure that your job is safe… ever!
And the number one reason why working for “the man” sucks is…
1. Your time isn’t your time!
When you have a job they own every single part of you but especially your time. Wouldn’t it be great to go to a movie in the middle of the day with your spouse? Or take a 3 week long vacation? Or just sleep in on a Wednesday?
When you work from home your time is truly your time and that’s something you’ll never be able to get when you work a job.
So that’s it! I hope you found this list enlightening. Working for yourself is the only way to go. I can’t wait to see you there!
