ESTABLISH BUSINESS TIME

Running an Home business provides you with a great deal of flexibility to
your working schedule. Your computer is your administrative center, so
you are able to choose when and where you want to work, especially if
you use a laptop to do most of your business.

There is no need to worry with the nine to five as long as you are
consistently meeting the needs of your customers as they arise and you
are able to work proactively as the mood hits you, whether it be in the
wee hours before dawn or the dark midnight hours. You can even conduct
business while you enjoy your lunch during the day. However, even when
you own an online business, you must still be available during the working
hours of the rest of the world to whom you provide your service;
therefore, you may find yourself conforming to the nine to five, at least
occasionally.

The most important thing to keep in mind is that you do not have to
proactively work on business-related tasks at all times. If you do not have
the energy, do not waste your time and move to a different task. You will
easily be aware when the work you are doing is pleasurable and when it is
not, so do not try to confine yourself to nine to five if six to two works
better for you.

ESTABLISH A DAILY ROUTINE

When you own your own business, you have the opportunity to get out of
bed when you chose, take off early or not go in to work at all. The thing
that many business owners tend to forget is that even though you are
working for yourself, you still have a job.

Even if you do not have to leave for work at a certain time, set the alarm
clock and get up anyway. When you work with people, which you do in
the work at home industry, it is important that you are available at times
that coincide with their schedules. Wake up every weekday at a descent
hour, take a shower and get dressed for work. If you like, have breakfast
with your family or a cup of coffee while you catch up on the morning
news. This will get your juices flowing and get you in the mood to work.
