I’ve heard good things about virtual assistants, but if I were to bring one on I think I’d rather stay local than outsource overseas. I previously worked with some designers from there and while their work was relatively good, there’s a large disconnect due to language barriers and many things can be misinterpreted. Also, even though they appear to be inexpensive at first, the time taken to manage them requires more effort and I feel is a waste of resources.

Yes… it does take a great amount of willpower and dedication to stay driven while in the comforts of your own home. I know that when my energy is low, it’s so much easier to become lazy. And like you said, there are those times when “I’ll do it later” seems like an acceptable option… If we’re not careful, we can find ourselves working ridiculous hours to keep up with deadlines.

Agreed on all points, especially Myth #3. I invested heavily and applied for loans in the startup of my business, and technically, we didn’t really make money until our third year. I had to take other jobs to pay the bills. Starting up a business is never easy. Though working from home does eliminate the costs of renting office space, it takes effort to effectively separate enough space, time, willpower, and energy to really build your business. When you work out of your home office, it’s way too easy to say, “I’ll do it later.” The production work piles up, deadlines approach more quickly, and you spend so much more worktime at home. There have been times when I’ve spent days working nonstop without leaving the house, and it really takes a toll on you. It’s no longer a 9-to-5 job. It’s 24-7.
