Running A Home business & Working Full Time Outside Your Home
Very few people will claim they are bringing enough money
home to meet all their needs and wants. Several will begin
a home business to supplement their income while remaining
at the full time job outside. This can take a toll on the
personal life as well as the health of just about anyone
running a home business and working full time outside the
home.

One of the first considerations should be is the home
business in conflict with the full time job as many
employers will not tolerate competition from one of their
employees. For example, a person working in a retail
environment in nearly any capacity may find themselves in
conflict with company policies if they begin an online
retail outlet. Or someone working for a carpet cleaning
company starting a home business offering cleaning services
part time as a home business. Being in conflict often
forces the employee to make a choice of keeping their full
time job or finding work elsewhere.

There are many home business opportunities available that
will not conflict with outside work environments, but the
time involved in operating the home business will need to
examined to determine if it can be done effectively while
working full time. The business operator will only have
limited availability as well as time to spend on the
business and the time needed to run the business will have
to be reallocated from another part of the day.

A person with a family will need to know that any time
needed to run the home business will have to come from time
usually used for family functions or just spending time
with the wife and kids. The full time employer will not
tolerate someone spending time on their home business while
being paid so dividing the time between work, running the
business and family may or may not be worth the extra
income from a home business.

In some cases, there are home business opportunities that
require little time and enable it to be run at the
convenience of the owner. With these jobs time can be
arranged in which to run the business without losing time
with family and friends, although sacrificing sleep or
relaxation time may be necessary. Overall, there will be
some sacrifice of time and personal involvement when
running a business and working full time outside the home.

Time management will be essential in creating work-life
balance as well as remaining organized so as not to allow
important aspects of work, home business operation and
family slip through the cracks. A single schedule guiding
the commitments for all obligations will be needed in order
to accomplish everything that needs done and to stay ahead
of the work.
