Many people today are seeking out a computer home based business instead of the traditional 9 to 5 job. This is because there are numerous benefits to having your own business which an outside job cannot offer. I know this from experience because I have both worked outside my house and from my house. Here are the benefits I found to having my own business.Firstly, there is no need to commute back and forth to work. I remember all those frustrating mornings of having to get up real early to go out and shovel snow from my car and driveway, climb into my cold car, start it up and hope that it will be warm enough in 20 minutes or so to drive in. I knew there had to be a better way and finding my own computer home based business was that better way. I simply get up out of bed when I am done sleeping (not when my alarm goes off) and walk over to my computer. That is my only commute to work.Secondly, I no longer have to drop my children off to daycare. I can now work from home with them by my side. It is such a blessing. I can take breaks as many times as I want during the day to play with them or have lunch with them. Not only is it great to stay home with my kids, but I am saving tons of money on daycare costs.Thirdly, I no longer have to answer to a boss. I am my own boss now. I work when I want in my computer home based business. I take time off when I want and never have to worry about getting fired. I am no longer living from paycheck to paycheck. If I want a raise, I simply work harder.My income is up to me because I am my own boss and I decide how much money I want to make. Speaking of income, having my own business allows me to earn residual income. This is not offered in the traditional 9 to 5 job. I am building a monthly paycheck that is going to pay me for a lifetime. Instead of having to work the normal 40 to 50 years to reach retirement, I can work hard for 2 to 4 years and retire wealthy.I can work and retire as a millionaire if I want. The possibilities are endless in this industry. Having my own computer home based business has truly been a blessing. It truly changes lives. I never would have been able to get as far as I am today if I stayed with my outside job. You just have to love having the option of being in control of your own financial destiny.
