How to be Successful Working from Home!
© 2004 By Michele Miller
So, you're interested in starting a home business? How
can you make it happen?
Many people only dream of working from home and don't think
it's really possible for them to do so. Sometimes it's the
fear of failure that holds people back.
I'm here to tell you IT IS possible and you can make money
and enjoy working form home, you just have to be
willing to try.
First of all, you have to have a business idea. Let's look
at some legitimate home business ideas to begin with;
let's get some ideas going here.
Business is changing more rapidly than ever
before. Web design, Graphic design, Internet marketing,
Secretarial Service, Medical Transcriptionist, Home
Parties, (there's lots of these around and you can
definitely make good money if you stick with them),
Pet Sitting, Errand Runner, Copywriter, Real Estate,
Photographer, Caterer, Furniture Maker, Candle Making,
Wedding Consultant, Computer Tuition, Music Lessons,
Insurance Agent.
There's loads more, but as you can see, it is possible
to find something you enjoy that can be a great home
business. You might have to take some
classes to begin with if you don't have a skill. It
depends what you are looking for.
The trick with any home business is to ease your way into
one. Keep your regular job while you "develop" your home
business. Start your business
part-time and let it build. When it reaches the point where
you are making enough money, you can quit your regular job.
This way, you won't be taking risks and depending on a new
business to support you right away.

All the above mentioned businesses are relatively low
cost start-up businesses. Forget having to invest
hundreds of thousands just to start your own
business. Some of the most successful businesses were
started on a shoe-string, or thereabouts.
So now you've got some ideas, what else do you need?
You need DISCIPLINE AND MOTIVATION. That's as important as
your business idea. You need to be a go-getter kind of
person to have your own business. You need to be willing to
get things off the ground yourself, and often willing to
work for no financial return at first, or very little
financial return. It helps to have vision; you have to sow
the seeds to see the flowers. Overnight success is quite
rare.
You can help yourself stay motivated by making a "to do
list", and "working your business" every day in some small
or big way. It doesn't really matter as long as you have a
"plan" and keep chipping away at it until it happens.
You hear people say all the time that you need to set your
goals, well you do, and a "to do list" will enable you to
cross off things as you work through them, giving you a
feeling of accomplishment as well.
Okay, what else do you need?

CONFIDENCE
As you begin starting your own business, you may come across
negative people who will discourage you and make you feel
less confident. You must ignore these people and only let
yourself focus on the positive. One day these people will
eat their words. Try to find people who want the same out
of life as you do and mix with them. If you can, find
yourself
a mentor in the field you are going in to. This is a great
help. You will be able to stay motivated about your future
goals if you have someone to share them with. A mentor will
also give you insights into your business and hopefully
share with you how to avoid certain mistakes along the way.
The last thing you need is FAITH - in yourself. So go
ahead, start a home business - You won't look back!
