Most women who have children have had offers to work from home. This can cover a wide range of activities, such as stuffing envelopes for coupon companies, becoming a medical transcriptionist, testing products such as toys or kitchen appliances, practicing law from a home office, having an online store, or having a beauty salon in their home. One thing is certain, they will be their own boss. It is true that having a home business can be time consuming.  However, once it is up and running, they can be their own boss. This means being able to decide what type of clients they wish to handle, determining their own schedule, and most important of all, no commute.

A major plus for home business owners is that of being able to make their own schedule. Not being strapped down to a rigid nine to five schedule is what most people enjoy. They can take as long as they wish for lunch. This can be very important for stay at home moms who want to earn a little extra income. They can work during their children's naptime or at their bedtime. They are able to feel like a contributing member of the work force while they stay at home and meet the needs of their family. Stay at home moms often feel that they have lost their identity or that they are shut off from the world. Some of those feelings can be alleviated by having a home business.

One rarely has the choice of who they want to serve when they work for a company. The clientele is normally doled out by someone else, who has had it doled out to them. When they have their own business at home, they become the person who is in charge of clientele. They can pick and choose instead of taking chances on dealing with clients with whom they have no compatibility. This is true even for those who have an online business. They can have a more select choice of clients by choosing what products they want to represent.

Home business owners love their lives, especially with soaring gas prices. They save more money than the average worker because they use less gas. They also save time because countless hours aren't lost in cars, trains or buses. Home business owners aren't rushed by traffic or caught in time-consuming traffic jams. There is no driving all over town to drop the kids off at school or daycare, then rushing to get to work. Driving somewhere to find food doesn't take up to half of their lunch break. They have the peace of mind knowing that they will never be late when coming back from lunch or tardy when getting to work in the morning. They will also be one of the few members of the work force to make it to their child?s ballgame on time.
