There is a lot of information out there about making money online.
Someone new to working from home can get a lot of mixed signals from the different perspectives presented on the web. The simplest and most important thing to remember above all else is:
WORKING FROM HOME IS A LOT BETTER THAN DIFFERENT THAN WORKING IN THE OFFICE!
I told you it was simple! The tips below build on this fact:
1. Give Yourself A Little Space.
When working from home it's crucial to have boundaries. Some of these boundaries are physical. All successful people that work from home designate either a room with a closeable door or some kind of space specifically for work.
Never use your workspace for anything but work. This helps to put you in the right mindset. If you know you have a special space just for working, it will help you get in the correct mindset and get to work!
It's proven that people work smarter in an organized, well decorated atmosphere.
Remember: It's YOUR house! Decorate your space however you like. Some like to put pictures of their kids on their desks , hang some inspirational posters, order fresh flowers, etc! Whatever makes you the happiest and inspires action!
She's ready to work!
2. Make Time For Making Money
To quote an old saying "If you don't work, you don't eat." Some work-at-home jobs are simple but, even the simplest task will take time to complete. Scheduling specific times to work will guarantee your success.
It's freeing to be your own boss and set your own hours! This is one of the joys of working from home!
Just Be careful to not let your work cut into your personal life or vice-versa.
Time is of the essence when working from home!
3. Take a Little Break
You're working from home. You're generating lots of income and you never ever EVER want to stop!!!!
HOLD YOUR HORSES!!
Working yourself to the bone for 8 hours straight is NOT healthy. Whether you're working at home or at an office job, your body needs time to relax. Set aside a few 15 minute breaks a day and have a little "Me time "
You'll be glad you did!
Take a little time for yourself
4. Dress For Success
I am afraid I have some bad news:
Working from home in your pajamas isn't the best thing to do when you want to be productive (at least not all the time.)
I know. I know.
You're imagining yourself in a bathrobe and slippers with a big pot of coffee by your side.
Get dressed! It's time for work!
Unfortunately if you dress like your going to sleep, you'll preform like you're going to sleep! A large part of working-from-home is mentality and psychology. It might seem silly to "Get dressed even if you're not going anywhere" but it works.
I encourage you to try this experiment for yourself: The next few days you have off, wear your pajamas for the duration of one day and wear an outfit the next day. I guarantee that you'll feel like doing more the second day!
5. Work through the "I Don't Feeeeeeeel Like It"s

5. Work through the "I Don't Feeeeeeeel Like It"s
We all have hard/blah/boring/ho-hum days. Working from home relieves a lot of the burdens modern life can put on a person but no line of work is 100% peaches, cream, rainbows and sunshine!
It helps immensely to maintain a positive outlook when working from home. You will have "I just don't feel like doing it" moments and "Maybe since I'm my own boss I can let myself off the hook" days. It helps to remind yourself that inaction will NEVER put food on the table.
Trust me, the tomorrow you desire will not arrive if tasks are always put off until the next day. As your own boss, it's your responsibility to keep the business running. There's time for work and time for play. The more you work through the "Blahhh.. I wanna be lazy" days the easier it becomes!
This guy has the right idea!
