Thinking about starting a home based business? We all have at one point or another. Here are 5 great reason to start one today.

1. The Economy

It's bad and it will take some time to rebound, and in the mean time, we are all losing our shirts. Don't rely on the government or your stocks for survival! You have no control over either one of these. Yes, you can change your stocks, but you still don't really know what will happen to them.

2. Your Job (if you still have one)

See #1. This goes hand in hand with the economy. Everyone out there is worried about their job, if not, you are one of the few lucky ones. If you have your own home based business, you are your own boss and probably will not fire yourself. Job security is a great feeling!

3. Income

The cost of living continues to go up. Is your salary doing the same? Wouldn't it be awesome to have an income that would allow you have no worries about paying your bills and being able to buy and do what you want? Financial freedom is on everyone's wish list!

4. Self Respect (pride)

When you have your own home based business, It's all about YOU! When you work for someone else, you're lucky if you get the credit for a job well done. When working for yourself, you get all the credit for the accomplishments and achievements for your home business. Trust me, it is a feel good story when you reach your goals that you set for your business, especially if you have failed a few times before.

5. Freedom

I live in the northeast section of the US and spring is here! Being able to do what I want and when I want is awesome! A lot of yard work needs to get done and I do it in the afternoon and work on my home business after dark (can't do that when you have a "job"). I also have kids in sports and not having to worry about running around like a chicken without its head to get them there on time is great! Not feeling so hot today? Sleep in a little longer...your the boss, start work when YOU want to! I can go on and on in this category, but I think you get the idea.
