It can be rewarding, but also hard, to have a home business. You have to be willing to put in a lot of hard work to get your business up and running. Eventually it will gain its own legs, but at first it may seem like nothing is working out right unless you get extremely lucky. Just like anything else, work and effort are required for your business to flourish.

Save gas receipts and document mileage if your home business involves any driving while you are working. These are considered travel expenses and you can deduct them when you file your tax return. However, you need to be sure that you’re able to prove that the trips had to do with your business.

Your business and your home should have separate phone lines. Looking professional is the best way to build a customer base, so having a separate number you answer professionally is key.

Join some forums that focus on home business. A quick Google search will find you several good sites that offer useful information. Blogs are another great source of information.

Minimize family interruptions during your home work hours. You should let your household know when you will be working to avoid interruptions. Also, don’t forget to let people know when you are available. Tell them that you need to have privacy so you can finish work and then be available that much sooner. Never leave children unsupervised and provide information on what to do in an emergency.

Don’t get discouraged if at first you’re working tirelessly. Not everyone just gets rich in a day. If this were the case, tons of people would be doing so. Give yourself every advantage by working hard, doing your homework beforehand and learning everything you can about the business you want to start. Business is about competition and the hardiest survive.
