Life has a certain balance: there is no pleasure without pain, and there are no pros without cons. HereÆs a look at the upsides and downsides of home businesses. Pro: Independence. You do what you want, when you want. No-one else can screw up your hard work, and you donÆt need to depend on anyone but yourself. Your days of being told what to do are over. And thereÆs no dress code, either! Many people who work from home admit to sitting around in their pyjamas all day, or even working in the nude. Con: No Security. With independence, though, comes responsibility. ThereÆs nobody to carry you if you do badly one day û if you donÆt make any money for the business, then you donÆt get paid. People like certainty in their lives (thatÆs why they spend big bucks on insurance) û it can be hard to live with this ultimate step into performance-related pay. You might find yourself quickly wishing you had a regular paycheque again. Pro: Flexible Working. You decide your hours. If you want to take Wednesday off and work Saturday instead, then no-oneÆs stopping you. If youÆd like to get up early and cram all your work into the mornings so you can have the afternoons off, then hey, youÆre the boss. Such flexibility can be a massive relief after years of working nine to five. Con: Work Never Ends. When you work from home, it can be tempting to be constantly monitoring things, even when youÆve decided youÆre not working. The only person who can handle a crisis is you û and crises have a tendency to happen in the middle of the night, or on your day off. Pro: Keeping All the Money. Everything you earn is yours to keep. It can be truly disheartening to work somewhere where cash is being handled, and realising that the takings for the day add up to a hundred times more than you got paid. You know that someoneÆs getting rich off your back, but itÆs not you û working from home makes you the fatcat at the top. Con: Doing Everything. Not all that money was profit, you know. It goes on things like marketing, management, stock control, deliveries, and so on. Suddenly you have to manage everything that goes on in your
piece
is
an
abstract
triptych
that
I
found
while
I
was
in
Atlanta
buying
religious
paintings
The
piece
was
called
Guardian
Angel
and
I
love
it
My
patrons
fell
in
love
with
it
as
well
They
have
asked
me
to
track
down
the
artist
and
see
if
he
has
anymore
religious
paintings
available
The
only
religious
paintings
that
I
actually
do
not
buy
are
ones
that
reflect
the
image
of
Jesus
on
the
cross
I
don’t
have
a
problem
with
them
some
of
them
are
extremely
well
done
and
would
more

sell

my

made

Ajello
Candles
The
motto
of
the
Ajello
Candle
Company
is
“It’s
better
to
light
a
candle
than
to
curse
the
darkness”
This
candle
making
company
has
been
in
business
since
1775
The
business
has
been
family
owned
for
seven
generations
The
candles
from
Ajello’s
are
well
known
for
their
beauty
and
quality
While
they
make
more
candles
now
than
in
1775
their
dedication
to
quality
and
to
customers
has
never
changed
The
Ajello
Candle
Company
was
founded
by
Rafael
Ajello
an
Italian
painter
He
was
also
a
beekeeper
so
he
tried
his
hand
at
using
bees
wax
to
create
candles
He
worked
hard
to
create
a
formula
that
worked
well
The
formula
combined
with
his
outstanding
artistic
ability
lead
to
the
birth
of
the
Ajello
Candle
Company
In
1785
the
company
earned
the
honor
of
creating
all
the
candles
for
the
Vatican
He
and
his
wife
ran
the
business
keeping
their
children
involved
in
the
processes
from
an
early
age
As
time
went
on
their
children
and
grandchildren
kept
the
business
running
as
well
as
passed
the
family
business
on
to
their
children
By
1862
the
company
had
established
itself
as
a
leader
among
the
candle
making
industry
They
had
also
added
perfumes
and
many
