Just didn't work out for me, but maybe you're different. I never bothered using the office too much though, and just continued working at home.
Well, having that hard separation of work and pleasure would be nice I suppose. However, you need to keep in mind we are talking about considerations being more than just 'me'. I already have to get dressed most days as it is. I am thinking of the advantages for running multiple businesses.

One centralized place for:
* Keeping track of all businesses, and their accounting.
* Interviewing models.
* Ease of training people I need for random tasks.
* Centralized, secure, network for work product.
* Managing employees and tasks, versus them being remote.

So my personal lifestyle choices are secondary to some of those other considerations. I need to grow on some of the things, which requires bringing on more staff, and to make them the most productive, it seems like this is the best option.
