The Juggle of a Home Based Business

I have been absent from Home Based Business Hub for quite a while now. I have not been absent from home based business though! Quite the opposite. I have just been focusing my time and energy elsewhere - that is mostly on my internet business about natural skin care, www.purefectyourskin.com.

It is a common issue for home business owners that dividing your time between all your commitments can be difficult. But a big reason I started working from home was for the flexibility, and to be able to make more business choices that work for me and my family - without the guilt that can come from being an employee.

I know I am not alone in this. Life offers more rewards than just financial ones.. even though financial rewards are great too.

I read a great article this week that included a line I really liked about working and raising children - "... so I wanted to be a part of her life, not just the person funding her life. So I needed a less restrictive work schedule. They are only small once and once they are at school you never get that time back again."

(You can read the full article using the link below.)

I know that not every home business is started by parents. I also know that the reason for working from home, and the types of businesses run from home are extremely varied.

But I thought I would share my reasons why I think home based business is a great idea - even when it means juggling lots of different tasks and ideas every day!

Helpful Resources for Developing Your Own Business

I really like to share information when I find it useful. On my Resources page I have updated with some books by Robert Shemin. I found his book "How Come That Idiot's Rich & I'm Not?" really great.

I have just returned from enjoying some great experiences in our capital city of Auckland.

In preparation for the Rugby World Cup 2011 tournament - due to start Sept 10. - there have been a lot of really exciting developments.

Even better was the chance to visit during the week when most of the country was back at work!
