6 Tips on How to Be More Productive When Working From Home
We have all heard the saying that "there are not enough hours in the day". However the reality is that the main reason why people don't get their work done is because they are not as productive as they could be. In other words they don't manage their time properly.
If you are working from home running a home based business it is particularly important to be as efficient and productive with your time as you can as this will ultimately determine how successful your business will become.
Here are some tips on how to achieve maximum productivity and success when you work from home.
1: Eat a healthy breakfast
Eating a good healthy breakfast is important as it will help to boost your energy levels and help to create an active mind. Some people claim that they don't have enough time for breakfast but this is merely an excuse. How long does it take to pour some cereal and milk into a bowl or to boil an egg? It only takes a few minutes and the benefits it provides will prove more than worthwhile.
2: Be in a happy mood
Try to start each day as you mean to go on by being in a happy mood. If you start your day happy and energetic you are more likely to remain that way all day. Try to ensure that you rid yourself of any outside or personal issues that may affect your concentration whilst working otherwise they will simply distract you and slow you down. Allowing outside issues or arguments to linger will have a big bearing on you. So the quicker that you resolve them the more productive you will become. It will also make you feel much happier and a happy person is a productive person.
3: Structure your day
It is important when you start a business from home that you structure your day in much the same way that you would when working for an employer. It is crucial to prioritise your work to ensure that you finish your day at a set time. It can be all too easy when being your own boss to either not work enough hours or to work too many hours. You need to ensure that you set yourself realistic working hours and that you are productive within those hours.
4: Don't multitask
It is claimed that multitasking lowers your IQ more than smoking marijuana! This is because when you multitask you are actually still doing one thing at a time rather than two things at once because you are constantly switching from one task to another. By doing this you are less productive and therefore less efficient. It is better to focus on one task at a time.
5: Remove any distractions
When working in a home based business it can be more difficult to stay focused on your work especially if there are any unwanted distractions to distract or interrupt you. If anyone is distracting you ask them to stop and to go somewhere else whilst you work.
If you need to use a computer particularly if you have an internet home based business, then it is advisable to turn off anything that might distract you such as your E Mail or any social networking sites such as face book, my space and twitter. You can always check and update these at a more convenient time. The same applies to your mobile phone.
You should also ask your family and friends not to call you during your working hours as before you know it you might have lost track of time and spent an hour chatting on the phone.
6: Take regular breaks
There can be a genuine danger of working too hard when running a business from home. It can be all too easy to continue to work throughout the day without taking any breaks. It is important to ensure that you take regular breaks away from your desk. You could also refresh yourself by taking a walk and getting some fresh air which will help to improve your concentration for when you return to your desk and make you feel good. Exercise is also good for morale.
All in all if you manage to discipline yourself by using the above methods then you should ensure that working from home will be a pleasant and fulfilling career which will enable you to create a better work/life balance and bring with it much prosperity.
Being a successful business entrepreneur I now work full time from home. The freedom this has created for me enables me to mastermind and share my company and the opportunities I have created with other people who seriously want to change their life. The services I provide are FREE and dedicated to those who have the passion to get up and make a difference.

Home Business - Make Money on Your Computer
After being let go three different times in three consecutive years, I was very worried about my future. The time frame for my last employment was the fall of 2008. We had elected a new Commander in Chief, Barrack Obama, and the the stock market had collapsed two months earlier. The economy was in serious trouble, and I had no job security. I was frustrated. I needed to make a change. I decided to start a home business.
I had always wanted to be my own boss, so I looked into it. Every where I go, I see people on their I -Phones and laptops. When ever I am in line somewhere, driving, or just walking through a shopping mall, I see people on their laptops surfing the net. The world wide web is an alluring thing. It is a way to constantly entertain ourselves. It is also a new and improved way to shop and get informed. After plenty of research and many dead ends, I found Internet affiliate advertising. My life then changed to brighter days.
Have you every wanted to make your own hours and sleeping whenever you want? Well, this is the area to be in. What could be better than a home business? Don't get me wrong, it is going to take some work and self discipline. Doesn't it take hard work and self discipline to go to work everyday, on time, driving in grid lock, and working for someone else? The Internet is a multi-billion dollar industry. I wanted to get my piece of that pie, and so can you.
Now I have done my research. I was out of work for most of 2008, getting behind in my bills, and trying to figure out a way to make it in business. Affiliate marketing was the best thing out there for me. If you are going to have a home business, this is it. I needed to make money to survive. Quickly.
It is not a get rich quick type of home business. It is a real thing. You simply just need to learn how to do it. I have followed a system on how to succeed in this business. Keep in mind, there is no selling, hardly any starting costs, if at all. No inventory to purchase. This is not a regular business. You simply advertise for companies who want their product marketed. If the item sells and you brought that person to the offer, the vendor will pay you a commission or a percentage of the purchase price. That is it. Its that simple. You simply promote the products. How does that sound? Their is no face to face interaction. It is all online.
It may take a while to learn this stuff, but its not hard. Once you learn, you will be armed for life with making cash online.. In my opinion, it is the best home business out there. You just need to apply yourself.

Nickels and Dimes Add Up to Thousands of Dollars
I will be the first to admit that I was extremely happy to achieve a point in my career years ago as a video production business owner where I no longer had to chase low dollar jobs just to make ends meet. In fact, when you are able to spend all your time focusing on attracting and winning big-budget video projects, it is easy to make a lot more money which results in having a lot more fun running your business.
However, as the saying goes, what goes up must come down. I can tell you from experience that if you are making a ton of money today and have been doing so for a while, the downturn is coming and you must prepare for it. This article isn't meant to be a buzz kill...just to serve as a reminder that every video production business will experience its ups and downs and to offer a few ideas on how to weather the storm until things get good again.
The way I've been able to get through the tough times is to remember that "nickels and dimes equal dollars." What I mean by this is that a handful of jobs worth a few hundred dollars a piece can equal one larger job. Our goal as successful video production business owners should always be to search for and win more of the larger jobs but we are also forced to find ways to survive when the large jobs simply aren't out there.
I have found that video production opportunities under $500 are the lowest hanging fruit. These are the easiest to propose, sell and finish in the shortest period of time.
Here are some ideas for how you can increase the nickel and dime projects when business is slow:
1. Call clients to ask if they need more copies of their video. Offer a discount if necessary to get them to act now.
2. Call clients to ask if they'd like you to convert their videos to a streaming video file that can go on their website. I provide this service for $150 per video clip and offer volume discounts for multiple files.
3. Call other production companies in your area to ask if they have the need for a second or third camera operator, sound technician or production assistant. Tell them that you'd appreciate any opportunity to help them regardless of what they need you to do. These jobs will range from $150 per day to $500 per day depending on what you do and what their budget is.
4. Call AV rental companies in your area to ask if they ever have the need for camera operators, production assistants or general grunt work. It's not always that glamorous but should result in $150 to $400 per day depending on what you do for them.
5. Call in-house production departments at the larger corporations in your area and offer to help any way you can. They'll usually throw lower budget, boring work at you but money is money when business is slow so don't be picky.
6. Offer to shoot footage and to edit a short highlight video for local grand-openings, open houses, etc. for less than $500. When business is slow, it's okay to offer discounted rates. When business is good again, all you'll have to do is tell people that you can't offer that price for the same service at this time.
The key is to remember that any money is better than no money when times are tight. Check your ego at the door and remember that the reason some artists are referred to as "starving artists" is because they often refuse to do work that people are willing to pay for.
Have an open mind for any potential revenue generating opportunity, no matter how small the budgets are and you'll find it easier and easier to survive until the market swings back in your direction.
