One of the great things about working from home is the flexibility you have in your daily schedule, work schedule and of course clothing LOL. Now that I have an assistant, I have to get dressed in the morning but for me, celebrating ‘Doing Business in your Bathrobe’ month is about celebrating the flexibility of working from home.
If I was to count the hours spent marketing my business, networking with other business owners, doing my own Admin (although Beckie is doing a lot more of this for me these days) AND hours spent doing client work, I work about 40 hours a week. Beckie averages about 15 hours a week and is about to go to 25 hours a week. If I was in a JOB it would simply be impossible. I have three small children and I know that I wouldn’t cope working outside the home – been there and done that!
My biggest fan (my 7 year old son) said to me “mum, I’m so glad you’re here with me after school and that you don’t have to go out to work like dad”. How can I not celebrate working from home with a fan club of 3?
“Doing Business in Your Bathrobe Month” is an initiative of the Business Mums Network www.businessmums.com.au to support entrepreneurs everywhere who are taking their work and pay cheques into their own hands. Visit the Business Mums Network website today and participate in the Scavenger Hunt – there are some great prizes on offer!
