One of the hardest parts of having a work-at-home business is that you don't have set work hours. So there's nothing to tell you that you MUST work right now. Add that to the fact that writing, speaking and blogging are all really self-motivated jobs (no one is requiring you to write today except for you), then it's easy to waste time or to Continue Reading
