Not everyone is cut out to work from home. Successful virtual workers are a strange breed of self-driven, organized, cost-conscious, and sometimes hermit-like people.

Wow, some points to ponder here. But freedom is sweet. I personally LOVE having ditched the politics. Can't say much about 5'o clock shadow though. Not even on my legs! Lol!

This is a wonder post, I would prefer to have a small office because having friends or many be family working together under a roof is really fun...

Liked the article and I too miss a few things re corporate life like travelling to different countries a couple of times a year. That said I definitely do not miss the endless meetings that would not achieve anything or having to wear high heels every day.

funny article and good points. I admit there are things I miss from the more social world of corporate employment. I think the key thing is to know what your social needs are before deciding to work at home.

This is just so true - and a little less satirical than my work-at-home series. What I like best about running my own business from home is the last item listed in the article: "Less politics and bullshit!!!"
