From personal experience, having worked over 20 years in Education before leaving to work full time from home, here is what I think:
1. You work for yourself, not someone else who doesn't give a damn about you, just what you can do for them
2. No more cycling (or driving) to work every morning in the rain, wind, snow etc...
3. You decide what you're going to do today, not someone else
4. Any money made is yours, and you have full control over what you do with it
5. You choose when to take a break, or holiday, and you don't have to justify why or when to anyone
6. No staff appraisal system
7. You're not stuck somewhere you hate being, with no chance of leaving until they say it's time to go
8. No pointless meetings (oh, those awful, meaningless meetings!)
9. You get to go to the golf course during the day, whenever you want
10. Did I mention, no pointless meetings
11. You don't have someone pestering you every minute to do some horrible job or other (well, unless it's the wife, of course)
12. You don't get exploited by having to do work above your pay grade for less money
13. You are FREE, FREE, FREE from the unappreciative monsters that run your life for their own benefit
14. You've broken out of the vicious circle that is WORK, designed to keep you down and under the control of the establishment, working for a pittance and totally reliant on your employer's whims
There are more, and there are negatives as well, but the positives far outweigh those
