It comes as no surprise that home businesses are on the rise, since technology like the Internet is making it easier to access information and do business without ever leaving your home, or getting out of your pajamas.

Home-based businesses are often small with less than ten employees and often only one. The pressures of being both employer and employee can be enough to make most people want to give up shortly after getting started. A little preparation prior to jumping in with both feet can make the transition from traditional employee to extraordinary business person go much more smoothly.

You should perform a careful self-evaluation before beginning your journey to self-employment. If you really want an honest gage of your strengths and weaknesses, you can quiz your friends and family regarding your traits that could be used in business and also write a list of things yourself. Do you have what it takes to be successful in business and get the work done? Remember that going into business for yourself means that you will have to handle everything in the beginning, so you must have certain skill sets.

Being your own boss has definite advantages, yet you must be sure that you are a self-starter. Do you have the determination and persistence to push yourself to keep working on those clear, sunny days? Can you effectively stay focused on your work when the laundry lies in heaps on the steps to your office?

Perseverance is key to surviving even the first week of a new home-based business. You must be organized, especially if quarters are cramped and you find yourself setting up your new office in the hall closet or the corner of a room. You can enlist the help and support of your family before making your decision, and that may help keep the peace during those long hours when the work finally starts to roll in.

Having the correct information is vital, so research your chosen area of business, interview others with experience in setting up home businesses, and read everything you can find about marketing your business, providing superior services and products, and managing.

Seeking the advise of both an accountant and an attorney are wise decisions, during the planning phase of your business. There may be issues with zoning ordinances, licensing and permits that you need to understand. These vary according to location and should be researched thoroughly to ensure compliance with local, state and federal laws.

So, do your homework, choose something that you are passionate about, so you can remain inspired to stick with it through the challenging times, which could mean the difference between a business that survives and a business that thrives.
