| I run my business from a closet |
 Fortune Small Business, in the article: I run my business from a closet explains how Marilyn Grabowski runs the family $1.2 million revenue generating paving business from her windowless bedroom closet. When employees first see my closet, they laugh. Since our trucks cost $100,000 each, they expect my office to be top of the line. They walk in and say, "Oh, my God. You really work here? There's no window!" But I don't care - it's cheap! Why waste money on office rental? Plus, I get to be home with my two young kids.
The biggest drawbacks for me are that I get no sunlight, and I never take a break. It's normal to find me working on Saturday at five in the morning because my office is right there. But being an entrepreneur is a 24/7 job, no matter where you work.

My former business partner wanted to expand our office space and more than double our rent. I kept telling her we could operate from a closet and since we deal in paper we didn't need more space.
I moved my office to my home and let her have the full space, which doubled her rent. She recently told me I was right about not needing for more space.
