The Pros and Cons of Working From Home

The Pros and Cons of Working From Home

Author: Heather Wells | The Single Mom Blog October 22, 2018 Duration: 35:49
The Pros & Cons of Working From Home As a single mom I struggled for years trying to support my family while working full time. I had to apply for government assistance to afford the child care I needed. I knew that the only way I was going to get out the struggle I was in was if I didn't have to pay for child care. The only way I would be able to do that was to work from home. I had no idea what I was going to do or how I was going to do it but I dove right in. I made a lot of mistakes and stumbled along the way, but I was able to create a successful business for myself. I have been self employed for 10 years now. It has been the best thing I could have done for myself and my family.  Working from home has given me back control of my time and allowed me to be more present in my children's lives.  Working from home has plenty of perks but it can also have some downsides as well. It isn't always for everyone. In this weeks podcast I cover the pros and cons of working from home.    Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
