Emma Jones, entrepreneur and business guru considers that spare bedrooms aren’t just about storing junk or putting up the occasional visitor but ideal starting points for individuals aspiring to be their own boss and set up a new business from home.In her book, all about the subject of setting up and running a home based enterprise discusses interesting issues.
Key themes touched in the book include planning and promoting a business, finding the right technology and striking a balance between work and family life.
She said: “I had a great job working for an accountancy firm, but after five years decided I wanted to be my own boss and have more control of my life. I left to start a business from my spare room and haven’t looked back since.
“There are so many benefits to running a business from home. Set up costs are lower, which means you instantly reduce your risk and keep your overheads low as the business grows.“It also cuts out the daily commute, saving you anything up to a day a week. Home workers enjoy arriving at the office on time in a matter of seconds, feeling both refreshed and enthusiastic.”
In 2006 Emma created the home business website Enterprise Nation (www.enterprisenation.com).
According to the SOURCEWIRE, Emma’s top five tips for running a successful business from home are:
1. Do something you love. Let your business idea be based on a passion, hobby or skill. That way, it will never really feel like work.
2. Find dedicated space in the house. This will make it easier to create your ideal work environment and to switch off at the end of the day.
3. Make the most of technology. Invest in tools that make you super-efficient and use the web to promote you and the business.
4. Get out of the home office. Meet new people, including customers and suppliers, by attending meetings, shows and events. Even pop to your local coffee shop when in need of a little human interaction!
5. Enjoy each day of being a Spare Room Start Up. Your commute to work takes 60 seconds and you get more done in the hours you have. That frees up time for doing all the other things you like.
