  Working at home sounds like fun. You can work in your pajamas, or you can play the radio as loud as you want. You can even sleep an extra hour in the morning. However, making money at home takes drive and dedication. To be successful you must use basic business practices. You must make yourself work rather than play. 
To be successful you would probably need to.... 

• work as little as possible.
• make a schedule and stick to it.
• stock the refrigerator with plenty of food.
• plan when to take naps.
