Keeping Up Appearances At Your Home Business

Keeping Up Appearances At Your Home Business
Copyright © Jose Love

When you work form home, it is very easy to simply

get out of bed and go to your work in your pajamas

and not worry about what you look like. After all ,

if all of your clients are in different locations,

and you aren’t seeing anyone, what is the harm in

being lazy and not dressing up for work?

Be Professional

There is no harm in your business, per say, if you

simply go to work dressed in whatever you feel

like, but the harm is going to lie in the long term

affects that you are going to see on yourself if

you don’t’ dress for work. Now, you don’t’ have to

be wearing a fancy suit or a glamorous outfit, but

even if you are working at home all day, part of

what you need to be doing is getting dressed for

work.

IF you are working at home in whatever you wore to

bed, you are sending yourself the message that it

is okay to be lazy and that it is okay to simply

slack off and not do what you should be doing. You

are also sending a message, if even to yourself,

that you are not professional and should not be

treated as such. If you do this for a long period

of time, your business is going to start to feel

like just something else you do at home, and you

are going to lose site of the fact that you are

actually running a business.

There are some things that you can do to make sure

that you always stay professional and that you keep

this in your head at all times, which will make

your business run much more smoothly.

First of all, be sure that you dress for work each

day. It doesn’t have to be as fancy as you might if

you worked in an office building, but you should be

able to feel like you are at work, and you should

wear something other than the clothes you would

wear if you were simply at home.

Also, you should set hours for yourself to be at

work. Working from home is something that can be

great, but it can also turn into something that

means you have to be at work all of the time. If

you set yourself business hours, and stick to them,

you are more likely to treat your business as a

business, and not as something that is taking over

your life. Something else that you have to be sure

to always do is to answer the phone and emails in a

professional manner, so that whoever you are

communicating with will know that you are taking

yourself, and your home business, very seriously.
