Hehe... I was just mainly wondering because of the other thread where people said they work whenever they want.
 
I do a combination of daytrading and ebay. I originally worked a regular job at night, and gradually integrated selling on ebay and daytrading until I didn't need to depend on the night job anymore. Not really any time for anything except the businesses though. I do consider daytrading a business. The secret to this is called "working your tail off." Mark Cuban likes to call the secret to doing well "sweat equity". Originally, when I first started, I actually put more time into the businesses and made less money than my regular job. That's the toughest part, but I think it's the most rewarding, challenging, and fun. One of my mentors put it best:

"Being successful in America is easy. All you have to do is work hard."
 
a lot of companies allow work at home employees since it actually keeps them from having to pay for a desk. Apparently we cost a lot (electricity, etc.). 😉 For me... our building closed (I was there 3 years) so a bunch of us got this WAH deal. In I.T. it's easy to work remote.
 
I do accounting and administration from my home, for a large company in the banking industry. I worked in an office for three years, and quit to move to a rural area. During my replacement's training, she learned she was pregnant. I mentioned working from home to my boss, as wishful thinking. She thought it was a great idea, and I've been working at home for six years.

It has its ups and downs, but it'll do till my Powerball checks start coming in. 😉
 
I run my own technology consulting company. I primarily consult with companies on product development, developer mentoring, application architecture, etc. I have several clients that pay me retainers, and I have others I actively work with throughout the day on certain tasks. I support a lot of the software I've written for clients as well. I have a small group of people who do work for me, but most of the time I work from home, the park, or maybe Borders. The money is great, the potential is infinite, I make my own hours, and I get to work from home; can't get much better than that, imo.
