First, you need to be the kind of person who’s self-motivating and who doesn’t’ need someone yelling at them in order to keep moving.

Second, you need to be ready, willing and able to find answers to your questions.  In many jobs, you can rely on someone else to figure out certain details.  That’s not the case when you’re running your own show from home.
