You want to start a home business; most people want to work at home for several reasons. WhatÂ’s your reason? Are you tired of having that boss breathing down your neck? Are you looking for something that can bring in some additional income for you or your family? Are you traveling too much in your current position and want to do something new? Whatever the reason, youÂ’ve made the decision. It may appear like the perfect opportunity, working your own hours and not having anyone tell you what to do. LetÂ’s be honest, amidst all of this home business paradise, there will be some stress involved and if the stress begins to overtake the amount of fun you should be having while working at home, it may be time to step back to see what has gone wrong.
One the most stressful aspects of running your own home based business is pay. Your pay may not be as you were used to when you were working for someone else. Having your own business doesnÂ’t give you that weekly or bi-weekly paycheck you are used to. You knew about how much to expect and when to expect it. If overtime was offered, it meant extra money and again, you knew when it would be given to you. Chances are there was also a health care plan you could join at a reasonable cost as well as retirement benefits. Paid vacations are another benefit usually enjoyed by employees and in some cases sick days and personal time. However, you made that life changing decision and decided you wanted your own home based business.
When you are considering your home based business opportunity, you do need to realize that all of those things are going to go away. When you are working at home you are earning money and most times you will get paid once the job is turned in and approved. However, each week the amount of your check may be a little different. Sometimes it will be more, other times it could be less. If you are working with different companies, the income may come at different times and although all the different streams of income can add up to a tidy sum, there will be some stress involved if one or more of the streams is running a little slow.
It will be a rare home business opportunity in which the pay is made on the same day of the week by all of the different clients or customers and until you learn to adjust to this new style of income schedule, it can be a stressful environment. Additionally, taking some of that pay every time you get it and socking it away for taxes can also put a strain on the family budget. However, if the right plans are not made it will make income tax time much more stressful than it needs to be.
For most home based business opportunities, a regular, structured income can relieve a lot of the stress, but that is something you will have to design on your own. The income will come but not in one lump payment and getting used to it can take a few months of struggling until it finally sinks in.
ThatÂ’s ok, it happens to all of us. I started my first home based business when I was 23 years old, and I let the stress get to me. I wasnÂ’t getting paid what I thought I was going to, and then decided to stop that business and went back to work for someone else. What I didnÂ’t realize at 23 was that if I would have stayed positive and kept my focus my business would have continued to grow. I know this because there are successful people still running that business that kept their focus.
I should have just taken some time off. One aspect many of us doing realize is that taking a day off is ok. Your business is not going anywhere, and taking time off can help you refocus. Take your mind off of your stress, work on your favorite hobby, or spend time with your family. Whatever it is, step away. You can then come back take a look at everything from the outside and reevaluate what you are doing. YouÂ’ll probably be surprised at what you find out.

Summary:
Every job has stress. Some stress is due to the nature of the job, some stress we apply to ourselves, and some stress is caused by those around us, be it demanding bosses, unreasonable customers or unproductive and scheming co-workers. So if workplace stress is a given, then how we handle this stress has a large impact on how well we perform and how much we enjoy our job.

Every job has stress. Some stress is due to the nature of the job, some stress we apply to ourselves, and some stress is caused by those around us, be it demanding bosses, unreasonable customers or unproductive and scheming co-workers.
Malcolm S. Forbes once said, “If you have a job without any aggravations, you don’t have a job.”
So if workplace stress is a given, then how we handle this stress has a large impact on how well we perform and how much we enjoy our job.
The fact is that living and working with others is not always easy. You donÂ’t have to like the people you work with, but you do need to be able to co-exist and co-operate with them. You can start by remembering that everyone has their place and the more harmony you can bring to the situation the more enjoyable it will be for everyone.
Why not try bringing a little harmony to the workplace by imagining your job as being a member of a choir. In a choir some people sing too loud, others too softly and some out of tune, but weÂ’re all still part of the same choir. If you sing louder to compete with the loud singers or sing so softly that you are not heard or sing out of tune just to fit in, then you do nothing to help the choir-you donÂ’t add anything to the harmony.
You canÂ’t change how another sings, you can only do the best that you can and hope that others follow your lead.
The Roman philosopher Sallust said, “Harmony makes small things grow, lack of it makes great things decay.”
Wise words, indeed. Whatever you do, donÂ’t add to the disharmony, this will only make matters worse and drag the choir further out of tune.
Your performance should be based on how well you perform, and not the performance of others. The more harmony there is in a choir the better it sounds. The more harmony we can create at work the less stressful our job becomes. DonÂ’t let someone else singing off key ruin your song.
