Having an office based in your home has great appeal. It provides more flexibility with your other obligations. It brings with it a sense of freedom and control. And, for many business opportunities, there is no mandatory reason for operating out of a more traditional location. But, it doesn't remove the mandatory requirement for operating like a business.

But, the downside is you sometimes forget you're in business. As a result, you can let all the distractions of your office location get in the way of getting on with your daily responsibilities to your business. The true responsibility of any business and its ownership is success in meeting its stated goals and a reasonable level of profitability.
