• Sole proprietor: You are the CEO and owner of your own business. Nobody is going to give you orders! No more supervisors breathing down your neck. Your business will rise or fall by your decisions.
  
  
• Relieve tension: No more stress from your 9-5 job. You can now work in a calmer atmosphere from home. Tension and stress are some of the major causes of health problems today. When you cut down your stress you will improve your health and relationships with everyone around you.
