How To Avoid Working 24 Hours a Day At Your Home Business

by Joyce Radford Executive Opportunity to Create Wealth

We all know how important it is to work hard to get your home business up and running and off the ground. We also know that when your home business is located right in your home, it is all too easy to get a few extra hours of work in after you eat dinner, or to get up early to work a little bit more in the morning. However, the fact remains that most of the people who are working at home businesses have decided to do this so that they can control what hours they work, and so that they can have more time to themselves to do the things that they have always wanted to do. If you find yourself working too much, and you know that you are in danger of working longer hours than you did at your old job, here are some ways to avoid becoming a 24 hour a day worker again.

Hours

First and foremost, no matter what your business is, you need to have working hours. This is for your benefit. If you have an online site or an online store, you are going to be open 24 hours a day, but this doesn?t mean that you have to be at your computer for the entire day. You need to set hours for yourself, and these hours will have to include time to process whatever has come in while you aren?t working. There is a danger in sitting at your computer all day to take orders in the hopes of keeping up with them, because you will find that you never leave.

If you find that you have too much work, and not enough time, this means that you are taking on too much. You have to be sure that you are only working as much as you can handle to work, or that you are delegating tasks to make sure you aren?t having to work all day and all night. This is something that a lot of people fail to do, and it can be something that is very dangerous, because giving out tasks is the best way to make sure all of your work gets done. If you find yourself with too much, you?ll end up working more than you want to be working, so be sure to find help, or hire some if you need it. Something else that you can be sure to do is to give yourself a break now and then. Remember that you don?t have to take every project that comes your way, and remember that you can be allowed a sick day when you are sick. These things are important, and are also vital to keeping your sanity as well as your business.

Tools;

You need to have the proper tools to work with too.  One of the most important one is  a good auto-responder.  There
are several out there so check around find one that will work for you.  The one I use will let you put as many letters in as you want. It will also let me send messages to my list.  Of course if you have a business on line or off you need people to talk to and that is where the auto-responder really helps it collects names for you so that you are building up your customer  list.  You need to keep in contact with your customers and let them know what you are offering them.   The auto-responder I use is Trafficwave.  It is the best one I have used.   It has every thing that you need to keep your business running .

Ways to advertise your business is another important tool that you must have.  There are a lot of safelists and traffic exchanges on the web.  Also classified advertising sites.  You never have too many places to advertise.  You can also join several different community sites.  You can do advertising on line and also off line..  

Using your tools to help you will save you time and money in the long run and make working from home so much more rewarding than going to work every day for someone else.  But you must be disciplined  if you expect to make your business work for you.  Like I said before set you work hrs the same as if you were going to the office or other job.
