Does your Home Business make you Safer from Terrorism?

For decades people have been interested in working at home... long before the tragic events of September 11, 2001.

People who work from home, especially those with their own home businesses, enjoy a wonderful, balanced lifestyle of work, family, and self. People who work at home still work, obviously, but somehow, pouring over spreadsheets with man's best friend at your feet is alot less stressful than pouring over the same spreadsheets surrounded by the political games, fluorescent lighting, constant interruptions, incessant supervision, and that terrible commute to and from work every day.

The events of 911 and the health threats carried by U.S. Mail afterward also showed us for the first time that when you have a home business, you are probably safer and far more secure. Companies, too, benefit from allowing their employees to work at home. Studies have shown that home-based labor is over 20% more productive than office bound workers. Spreading a company's workforce across a large geographical area also ensures that a local interruption, or even a local disaster, can not wipe out the whole company as we saw happen in New York. Spreading out a company’s workforce can protect the company from massive productivity and communication losses that may otherwise be devastating from such sources as blackouts and rolling blackouts, flooding, hurricanes, and other weather disasters, temporary internet, cable, DSL and/or phone outages, and terrorism threats and attacks. Even when such disasters occur, employees that work at home in other areas can remain unaffected.

Just when we thought modern times had made us aware of all the many wonderful benefits of working from home or having your own home based business, even more modern realities teach us even more.
