And here's the difference between working for someone versus working for yourself: when you work for someone else and you have an unproductive day, you still get paid.

When you work for yourself and you have an unproductive day? You get nothing.

Have a bad month? You still get nothing. That's another thing: working for yourself is highly volatile and unpredictable and that's why some people refer to bipolar depression as 'the entrepreneur's disease'.

Here's another difference: when you work for yourself, none of your friends or relatives will respect the fact that you have to work during the week. 'Oh, he/she works from home, so of course they can come and help me move out of my house/meet for lunch on a Wednesday afternoon'. Never mind that you promised your clients their work would be finished at 4pm. Never mind that you'll now have to work until 5am through the night.

And on the flip side of this, your clients won't respect that your home time is your home time. They'll think nothing of e-mailing you at 5am in the morning on a Sunday to tell you the work you handed in three days ago was rubbish.

And you'll have the same problem: you'll always be tempted to finish a little early on a Friday, or to work a little late on a Wednesday. Goodbye body clock! Goodbye healthy sleep! Goodbye good quality work.

Then there's the fact that working from home means working on your own, with no one around, in the same room you're likely to spend your evening in. You never get to leave this space and you never get any outside interaction or input. Talk about cabin fever! Heeeeere's Johnny!

Working from home gives you freedom and that freedom can give you the option to become incredibly healthy, happy and effective. At the same time though, freedom also comes with responsibility. Fail to manage that time well and it can all go wrong…
