Many small businesses start out in the home.
Working at home, however, usually succeeds only if you are a highly motivated self-starter. If you work out of your home, don't let other obligations interfere with business. Housework, yard work and other distractions may make it easy to neglect work. Also, ask yourself if you will mind the solitude of working from home. You can try to overcome this problem by getting out each day to visit clients or customers and by staying active in professional organizations.
