Why work from home? The reasons why people choose to work from home are as diverse as the ways they choose to earn their money.

If for example, the prime motive for working at home is so that you can have more free times, that any this could point to a lack of the self-discipline that any self-employed person needs by the spadeful.
Typical reasons why people work from home are:
- They have small children, need some extra income, but do not wish to leave the home to work
- They have no means of transport and commuting to work would be difficult
- They have an illness which, although it does not totally disable them, restricts the number of hours they can work or gives them 'good' days and 'bad' days
- They have skills that can be easily practised from home, for example book-keeping or dressmaking
There are many advantages to working from home, depending upon your chosen occupation and your personality:
