This is a Home Business, NOT a vacation!
I recently read an article written by an aspiring freelance
journalist who was desperately trying to get published without
success. In the article, the journalist talked about how his day
started with a few clicks of the snooze alarm, a leisurely
meditation over a cup of coffee in the backyard, the sending of
several emails to friends and family, and the surfing of
websites, which were definitely not websites fit for writing
inspiration and research.
Sometime in the late afternoon, this particular writer found it
in himself to jot down a few lines on the next article he was
going to try to get published and send out a few query letters.
But in the evening, when his roommates arrived home after their
9 to 5 jobs, the journalist was isolated, and he was disgusted
by the fact that he had to remain working in his room until late
into the night just to be able to make a paycheck.
The truth is; this story struck a chord with me, and I'm sure
that many of you can relate to it as well. Staying focused while
running your home-based business is one of the hardest things to
accomplish. Many bright, motivated people have great ideas for
their business and can take those ideas and turn them into great
quantities of cash with very little effort. Yet, many do not
realize the potential that they are capable of because they
simply get distracted with daily living.
When you're a work
at home mom, running a business out of your home without
getting distracted is even harder. In addition to the multitude
of daily distractions that can burn up precious money-making
time, the work at home mom has
legitimate concerns and living,
breathing beings that demand her time and attention. While you
can't put your kids on the "To Do" list for later, you can do a
few things to keep from getting distracted during the work day.
· Treat your home business like a job, not a vacation. Treat
your business just like you would a regular clock-punching job.
Have a shift starting time and ending time. Stick to it unless
an emergency arises.
· If you have young children, get up early so that you can get
some work done when the house is quiet and there are fewer
demands on your time.
· If you have older children, explain to them that you are at
work just like other moms and to only bother you if it's
necessary.
· Break your workday up into blocks of time, some blocks for
working others for caring for your home and children. Set the
time of the block beforehand and don't dally over tasks.
· Turn off the phone, email and web to personal use during the
workday.
The bottom line is that being self-disciplined at running your
own home-based business can mean the difference between your
business' success and failure. Sure, distractions will come
along, and you will be tempted to put off your business until
later. But don't; and you will be sure to build a successful
business and achieve financial independence.
