When we are juggling getting to work, getting children to school if any, remembering birthdays and other events; we don't realize the amount of organization and time keeping skills that are involved. Also the amount of deadlines we have to achieve is also amazing. All these skills is what a 'professional' takes into his or her work space.
We also need to consider that we are also extremely skilled in prioritizing our work load, again a skill highly beneficial to any one considering running a home based business or whom is at present a business owner.
