I can definitely say that in my twenties I was not disciplined or serious enough to work independently from home.  I needed a schedule, an office and someone to follow up with me. 

Ten plus years later, as an experienced and mature adult who relishes independence, flexibility, freedom and a reliable income  I couldn’t think of a better job than one where I could work from home.  Writing from home has been a dream come true.

Even if you are a people person, don’t assume that working from home isn’t for you.  There are a multitude of careers where you can work independently, but not be sitting in front of a computer all day.  A home based business can look differently based on the individual.

Because so many large companies are personalizing their services, not only are their profits going up because of closer relationships with clients, but they have happier employees who are willing to work flexible hours more often. 

So, take a chance, develop a plan of attack and pursue one of the many options availble to you.
