Working at home takes discipline, patience, and action. People have somehow mistaken working at home with relaxing’ while watching Maury Povich and television all day while streams of money come rolling in. It’s not going to happen.

Working at home takes discipline. The United States has the technological infrastructure to easily support this. I used to support an Indian Software Engineering Center for Cisco Systems from my home office in the Silicon Valley. All the developers were in Bangalore, India, I was in the East Bay, and our headquarters was down in Milpitas, CA.
What did this take? Discipline. Working at home can be done easily but people abuse it and watch television while they should be working. Contrary to popular belief, you actually don’t need to wake up put on business clothes just to sit down in your home office. If you need all of this type of false hype to make yourself feel like you’re in business mode, you shouldn’t be working from home at all.
You should be able to wake up and do your work and make your money right at home. There are now Internet Phone and Skype that allow you to dial another computer for free. I suggest getting Skype, GoToMeeting.com, and a nice web cam or iMac computer so that you can hold meetings in your home office without interruption and without fail.
