You may also notice when starting your own business, especially out of your home, that your friends and family may have this idea that you are home, so you must be able to hangout and visit whenever they want. This is a huge misnomer and you must take control of your schedule before your best friend or family member shows up to your front door in the middle of the day while you are working.
