There is a growing trend in people wanting to find work from home. There are a number of factors which contribute towards this trend. I will discuss a few of them here.
It is becoming increasingly difficult to make money from a regular job because the economic crisis has caused many businesses to downsize and lay people off. Those that are still operating are really struggling to survive so every employee has a greater load of work and this can mean putting in longer hours with even less pay.
Another reason for people wanting to work from home is that they simply want to take control of their situation and be in the drivers seat. Working from home has its pro's and con's. Friends can think that its OK to drop in on you whenever they feel like it not taking your business seriously. This can be distracting and annoying. Also if you have young children you really need somewhere in the home where you can work in a quiet place, or can do the work when they are in bed.
Personally I love having a home business, but it does require a lot of discipline and commitment. You need to be strong and clear about what you need to achieve each day otherwise another week has flown by without you moving forward.
There are many opportunities available and it can be difficult knowing which one to chose. It's a good idea to write down what you think your strengths are , what you are passionate about and what you can imagine yourself doing.
Good luck with making the transition and finding an opportunity to work from home.

Can Small Business Be Philanthropic?
We read about the big guns such as Bill Gates giving 50% of their profits away to charitable causes and know instinctively that its the right thing to do. We may even think that they are obliged to donate because they have so much money and that it's a natural progression and they should want to do it. Bill is encouraging his wealthy mates to do the same.
But do we have to be really seriously wealthy to feel like we should be helping others or the environment in some way?
I actually think that many of us in business would like to contribute but because we are so caught up in day to day running of our companies and in a lot of cases just trying to keep our heads above water, it is something that just gets pushed to the end of the list of things to do.
We may also feel that because of limited funds we can't really do anything to make an impact.
The fact is we can make a big difference with a relatively small contribution. For example a donation of $10 will provide clean water for 4500 people for 10 years! How amazing is that.
A business that has this Philanthropic intention at its core is GiveOpp. This business, still in its infancy has committed to giving 80% of their profits to Environmental and Humanitarian Projects around the world. GiveOpp is changing the way the world does business, leading by example and demonstrates how average people can have a positive impact on the world around them whilst making a very good lifestyle for themselves.
