Finding work you can do from home is something that seems to elude a lot of people. But it’s not as hard to find work you can do from home as you might think. If you start a consulting business, you’ll have the flexibility to decide where and when you work. For example, you might meet with clients at their office, but you can still do planning, research, analysis, writing and other work at home. Some clients are even comfortable enough that they’ll okay work without ever meeting you in person. Over the years, I’ve worked remotely for clients ranging from Hewlett-Packard in California to start-ups a few blocks away from my home — all without ever leaving my home office! So, if you’re someone who answers a hearty "yes!" to "Should I become a consultant?", you could be working from home in short order.

You’ve echoed what I have written many times. People often ask, “What work can I do from home?” and I say it’s just a matter of first doing the work to find the right opportunity for you. Thanks for the post!
Hi, I nearly have a useless doctorate in English and otherwise no skills. Due to a social anxiety disorder, I absolutely must work from home, and consulting seems like the only option. The problem is that I don’t know what I am qualified to consult people about. What do you think?
Best,
Mark
