Working from home is a dream for many – but actually going ahead and starting a home business is very difficult specially here in Dubai. So what makes so many people want to do it specially expats, and why would you like to try home business in Dubai? Here are some common reasons, and some things to consider.
With all the difficulties in finding a job and low salaries here in Dubai, it suddenly hit you like a bolt of lightning: you’ve thought of having extra income or having a great business idea without leaving your home. This is perhaps the main reason why people go into business from home: they’ve come up with something great that they really believe in, but can’t afford to rent any business premises. Here in Dubai you cannot setup any business without all the paperworks from the government. It does depend on what the business is, but working from home is often ideal in these situations. Or joining a Network Marketing company that is profitable.
Remember, though, that even the best ideas take hard work to become a reality. The kind of ideas that are good for a home-based business are ones that can become at least partly real quickly, and start bringing in an income – you shouldn’t sit at home for a year working on something that’s making you nothing whatsoever. But to succeed in home business is to never give up and keep on trying.
You Can Make Your Hobby Your Home Business in Dubai
A lot of people have something that they’re really passionate about, and would spend the rest of their life doing if they could, just for the enjoyment of it. Getting paid for doing what you love is obviously appealing and satisfying – even if you only earn a living wage, it’d be your idea of paradise.
You’re Tired of Your Boss.
It seems like everyone hates their boss. Well I guess not everyone but on majority. They try to pretend like they’re your friend, but they’re not fooling anyone, are they? You’re forced to work to pointless deadlines and targets. Even if you’re tired, your body is aching and getting sick, they don’t care as long as you finished your deadlines. And if you failed to go to work even for just one day because you cannot lift your arms or your feet won’t allow you to walk, they will don’t give a sheet instead file a complain and you’ll get a warning or worst got terminated.
What you might not realise is that ‘being your own boss’ requires quite a lot of willpower. If there was no-one to make you get up in the morning and do any work, would you? Your home is supposed to be a place of rest and entertainment – and when it’s full of the equipment and temptation to do anything but work, working there can be hard.
You Want to Spend More Time with Your Family.
You feel like all you do is go to work, come home, and then sit around, too tired to do anything fun with your family. If you have children, they seem to be growing up so fast, and you’re missing it all – all because you have to go out and work.
In having your own home business, the problem here is that you might just end up spending too much time with your family and not your business. This is where a failed business comes and at the end of the day you will say I lost all my money and I think I’m going back to being employee. That is not good. You should know your priorities and responsibilities when doing or having a home business in Dubai.
You Don’t Like Wasting Time and Money Commuting.
After all, once you get to the office, what is there anyway? Offices are dreary environments, and terrible to work in – travelling for hours there and back and spending a significant proportion of your wages to do it seems completely pointless (especially if you live in the middle of nowhere). If you could work from home, think of the time you’d save… and time is money, isn’t it?
Don’t be surprised, however, if you start to feel trapped in your home, since you never leave it. Can you find good ways to get away from it all?
But Don’t Be Put Off.
While the list of warnings for working at home might look long, a list of warnings about working in an office would surely be longer. As long as you stay on your guard, you can get all the benefits of working from home without falling into any of the traps.
