Top 10 Tips to Stick to a Schedule When You Operate a Home Business

January 28, 2008 | Author: Rob | Filed under: Time Management, Working at Home

Today’s post on the topic of sticking to a schedule when you operate a home business is brought to you by a friend of mine Chrissie. We’ll be seeing a weekly feature from her in the future as shes a great writer and “living the dream” of working from home.

The decision to work from home is a very appealing one for many. The phrase “work at your computer in your pyjamas” carries with it a sense of freedom and liberation that many cubicle confined workers long for. There are countless benefits to working from home, but many people don’t realize the drawbacks until they are in the business and struggling. One of the most appealing factors of working from home is the flexibility in scheduling and not having to answer to an employer. In fact, it is this very benefit that causes many home businesses to fail. Many …

Professional Self Storage Management

January 8, 2008 | Author: Rob | Filed under: Working at Home

Here is an idea for the work from home type with a twist : Professional Self Storage Management.

Self storage is becoming HUGE business with new competitors sprouting up everywhere. Very large market that is growing and something that has caught my attention.

What makes self storage so popular? We’re running out of space; people are constantly moving; changing jobs and the need for storage is only growing. Once setup these don’t take that much effort to run just a security guard and a few other things.

Basically you are segmenting spaces in a massive climate controlled warehouse and “setting it and forgetting it”. It’s kind of like webhosting only no chances of the server “going down”.

You want to find places on the OUTSKIRTS of town. There are a few reasons for this. It’s convenient for people moving into and out of the city and of course the cost of real-estate is …

AGLOCO - Another One Bites the Dust!

December 11, 2007 | Author: Rob | Filed under: Working at Home

If you have not heard already; AGLOCO aka “A Global Company that is Owned by It’s Members” is basically dead. It’s a shame as I’m sure many thought this was the ideal work at home program.

I first heard about this company in earlier this year and immediately thought to myself this is just too good to be true. It’s one of those schemes that sounds really good but the practicality of it just lacks something.

Sure enough they no longer have the funding to pay the development team let alone its members. They aren’t totally dead but they are essentially dead stating that if they don’t find some new financiers they will have to close down operation.

This is a bullet I dodged as I was tempted to get in on this. I remember those paid to surf programs that came out around 1997.  G something World was a big one. …

Sell Cruises From Your Home

I was browsing through one of the many home based business magazines I purchased looking for some interesting stories. I found something that could potentially be interesting to some of you; particularly as winter is approaching.

Ever thought of selling cruises from your home? All you need is internet access, a telephone and $495 initiation fee + $49 materials fee to get access and begin competing in an estimated $11,000,000,000 a year industry. (Yes that is 11 billion!) The only catch that I noticed was that you need to go to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida for a one week formal training. If this interests you the week long training could be a great opportunity to learn some skills relevant to this niche that are transferable to any other type of sales.

The name of the company is Cruises …
