Working from home and running your own business is a challenge. If that’s a reality of life for you, then it’s unlikely that you need to be told it’s a challenge. It’s tough enough to keep yourself on track, keep your productivity ticking, and motivate yourself without any colleagues around you to stay on track.
It’s not an easy life, but it’s also an extremely rewarding one – when you triumph, it’s for your own sake, not for the sake of profiting another company. To help you reach that point, it’s worth considering some of the services that you might want to take advantage of as a small, home-based business owner. They can help make life easier when you’re juggling home and business in the same building, as well as give you something to look forward to.
So what might you want to consider?
1) Fruit & Veg Box Delivery
It should be easy to remember to eat a good diet when you’re working from home; after all, the ‘staff canteen’ is right there, where you tend to cook anyway. Yet somehow, you’re so busy that it can be tough to remember to shop, never mind whip up healthy meals in an instant.
With a fruit and/or vegetable box delivery, a lot of the hassle is taken out of the picture. Every week – without you having to remember to place an order – you will have a box delivered to your door, containing all the delights you could possibly wish for. Most local stores do these deliveries, so it’s worth checking local listings until you find a provider for your area.
2) Computer Repair
You’re working on a big project, typing furiously, trying to get everything done for a client – and then the screen goes blank. IT failures are tough enough when you’re just trying to watch YouTube videos, but when they’re outright interfering with your ability to run your business? That’s a problem.
You don’t want to have to go running to a repair shop every time there’s a snafu, so it is worth investigating computer and IT repair that can come to your door. Companies like Geekmobile specialise in this kind of business, and will bring along spare parts so you don’t have to wait long to be back to normal. Have a look and see what companies might offer this service near you.
3) Cleaning Service
Look at it like this; if you were going to move your business into dedicated premises, then you’d pay a cleaner wouldn’t you? Of course you would – which is why someone helping to keep your house clean isn’t that much of a stretch. Rather than being distracted by domestic chores, you can focus on your work and enjoy a cleaner house as a reward. If your budget can stretch to it, then it’s definitely worth considering both for the time it will save you and the improvement it will make on your living and working environments.
Working from home running your own business can be stressful, but by trying the above services, you can make it work for you.
