type='text'>Top 5 Reasons to have a home based business</title><content type='html'>Working out of your home definitely can have some disadvantages such as having so many distractions like the telephone, computer and television, chores, mail and the bed calling you. &amp;nbsp;But there are many more powerful advantages and here I list the top five.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. &amp;nbsp;You can work in your boxers.&lt;br /&gt;I actually sleep in pajamas that are referred in some circles as redneck underwear, i.e. boxers and a t-shirt. &amp;nbsp;So I can get up and go to work without changing and be quite comfortable in my jammies till after lunch if I so choose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. &amp;nbsp;You are your own boss.&lt;br /&gt;You don't have anyone pushing you, but you. &amp;nbsp;There are no unrealistic expectations unless you've put them in place. &amp;nbsp;You can work on any project you wish and in any order you wish. &amp;nbsp;There is no&amp;nbsp;bureaucratic&amp;nbsp;BS. &amp;nbsp;You don't have to kiss up to anyone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. &amp;nbsp;You can set your own pace.&lt;br /&gt;Taking a three hour lunch break to run much needed errands is OK because you can come back and work into the night. &amp;nbsp;And you can work in the middle of the night if you can't sleep if you so desire. &amp;nbsp;Any deadlines are self imposed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. &amp;nbsp;You don't have to call in sick&lt;br /&gt;It's OK if you don't feel good. &amp;nbsp;You don't have to worry about finding someone to fill in for you to make sure your work gets done. &amp;nbsp;No guilt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. &amp;nbsp;You set the atmosphere.&lt;br /&gt;Your cat or dog or child can sit on your lap while you work. &amp;nbsp;You can play any kind of music you choose and as loud or as soft as you choose. &amp;nbsp;You can have friends over as you work. &amp;nbsp;The TV can be on in the background if so desired. &amp;nbsp;You can check and answer email.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Personally, my favorite part is working in my boxers. &amp;nbsp;And I just love having friends visit when I'm working in my studio. &amp;nbsp;I get lonely sometimes. &amp;nbsp;My family is very far away. &amp;nbsp;My friends are &amp;nbsp;priceless. &amp;nbsp;They are my heart. &amp;nbsp;And they don't mind my boxers...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br
