There are a lot of horror stories, dire warning and sober reasons that say self employment is full of sacrifice and strife. Look at five reasons to rejoice in it instead.
It’s true that self employment takes strong self-discipline, shameless self-marketing and serious self-confidence to have any chance of success. There are a lot of reasons to be afraid of being self employed. But there are at least five reasons you should rejoice in work at home. Let’s look at some of the perks of being self employed.
Perks of Self Employment
You know plenty of reasons for disliking self employed - unstable pay, working holidays, an abysmal lack of benefits, even extra taxes. Buck up with these five reasons to rejoice:
Expensive gas? No problem!You don’t drive to work, ergo you aren’t spending hundreds of dollars a week on the gas it takes to get you there. As your friends and family grumble over the commute, you’re worrying only about Internet traffic.
Bad hair? Who cares?
There’s no such thing as a bad hair day when there’s no one around to impress with your appearance. For you, business attire is clothing optional.
Good manners need not apply.
Struggling to break off that phone conversation instigated by your mother-in-law’s call? Looking for a way to shoo out an unwelcome houseguest? You can always pull the “got some work to take care of” card and send them on their way.
Everything is a potential write-off.
Do you use your high-speed Internet to facilitate work at home? Did you buy a laptop to make the job easier? The stamps you use to mail the bill, the gas you burned up driving to the electronics store and all work-related purchases themselves can be applied as business expenses on your tax forms.
Snooze bar? Who needs it?
You can almost toss out the alarm clock when you create your own schedule. Sleeping in takes on a whole new hue when you can absolutely get out of bed whenever you feel like it.
