Some believe that the phenomenal growth in home-based businesses and the sizable number of women who run home-based businesses can be attributed to the belief that traditional second income jobs actually do little to improve the quality of life for the family.
The evidence comes in the form of clothing purchases, automotive wear and tear, daycare, eating out more often and, of course, taxes.
The combination of these elements makes it difficult for families to get ahead – even with a second income.
With a home-based business many of the expenses go away. Certainly there remains the tax burden, but the expenses associated with commutes, business wear, day care and perhaps even the need for a second vehicle go away.
It is estimated that home-based businesses average more than ten years in longevity. This is a much greater statistic than brick and mortar counterparts. An industrious stay-at-home mom is a business force to be reckoned with. In many cases the home-based business is lead by the wife while the rest of the family play some role in its ongoing success.
Home-based business isn't just a good idea, it has become the means whereby many families are finding greater closeness and family purpose by swimming out of the mainstream. By creating their own current they have effectively produced a new trend with large numbers of workers seriously entertaining the idea of a home-based business.
