There is no doubt that working from home is not only convenient, but it is a money saver. No more commutation costs, eating lunches out or having to buy the work clothes for making a presentable appearance.

Working from home does have its financial drawbacks, however. It's especially noticeable for folks who live in areas prone to winter storms and cold temperatures. No matter how much you try to conserve, when it comes to heating a home, that's one expense that diligent home workers just can't seem to avoid. After all, who can work with frozen hands?

To figure out how much and what kind of coverage you need, consider possible accidents; hopefully, nothing untoward will befall your business or your home, but you should plan for any eventuality so you will not suffer financially if something comes to pass.

It's easy to get obsessed. Really, it is. With work, with the almighty dollar, with achieving and building your business.

The ones who don't work enough get caught up in the "home" aspect of the home office. Something is always calling them away: a crying baby, the laundry, a trip to the convenience store, a pot on the stove, daytime TV shows. They give in to temptation and never truly put in an honest day's work. Then they come to me and ask how in the world I'm so productive.
