Owning and operating a work from home based business has many advantages, but working in an office with others has the social aspect that a home business lacks. This social aspect is a double-edged sword; most home business owners chose to work from home based on office politics or the independence that comes from being their own boss. However, like it or not, co-workers, colleagues, and supervisors provided you with companionship at your old job.

Know what? An hour a week isn't going to get you very far in business. If you want to get to the point where your business practically runs itself, you're going to have to work hard to reach that point. It takes time, often years, to have so much as a shot at putting your business on anything resembling autopilot.
3. Opportunity-hop.
