How To Start Your Home Business, Once and For All, This Year
You've thought about it for awhile now. There's a good chance
you've rationalized it and said, "Next year I'll get my own
business started." Guess what? It's next year, and there's no
better time than the present to get your home business started.
So What's The Secret?
Is there a secret to starting and making money with a home
business? What about making lots of money? Are there just a few
people out there that can be successful? Or can anyone make it
happen? In my research of successful home-based business owners,
I've found two essential ingredients to success: having a good
attitude and lots of determination. Call me crazy, but we can
all have these and it isn't going to cost us a dime.
But I Don't Have The Money To Start A Home Business
We are often caught up with the situations we find ourselves in,
and see no possible way to start a home biz. Maybe you're broke
with barely enough money to survive, let alone to start a home
business. You could be a single mom raising your family all by
yourself. Maybe you've been burned by one to many work-at-home
scams and have given up on the idea that you can make a home
business work.
It's easy to tell yourself that you could never start, let alone
run a home business because of this or that reason. It's easy to
rationalize "Well those people who are super successful, they
probably had a bunch of money to start their business with and
they probably knew all the right people." Well, that's usually
not the case. Any self-employed person will tell you how hard it
really was to make their business a success. It always comes
down to lots of hard work!
What Are You Focused On?
Many years ago I was teaching my youngest daughter to ride her
bike without training wheels. She was riding on the side of the
road, and was very nervous about running into the curb. Every
time she would start to peddle, she'd immediately look at the
curb, and sure enough, she'd head straight for it. I explained
to her, "Look at where you want to go, not where you don't want
to go." It's funny how when you look straight
ahead, the bike
goes straight ahead, but when you focus on where you DON'T want
to go, you end up there.
The mind is a wonderful machine and it can be our best friend.
If you constantly tell yourself that you can be a success, you
can make money doing what you love; your mind will find a way to
make it happen. A quote by Edward Vernon Rickenbacker says, "I
believe that if you think about disaster you will get it. Brood
about death and you hasten your demise. Think positively and
masterfully with confidence and faith, and life becomes more
secure, more fraught with action, richer in achievement and
experience."
Make Your Dreams Come True - Make Money Doing What You love
When you think about the type of business you want to start,
think about what it is you love to do. Try not to focus on a
business because you are told about all the money you can make.
Instead look at what you enjoy doing. What you are already
naturally gifted at doing.
All businesses take time to grow and make money. Even the ones
you are told will make you a ton of money. Wouldn't you rather
work hard at something you enjoy to make a living?
It's Up To You
No matter where you are coming from, it's your attitude and
determination that will ultimately decide the fate of your home
business. If you want to work-at-home badly enough, then you
need tell yourself on a daily basis that you will find a way to
make it happen, and you will be a success at it. Do this and
your business will not only get started, but is will also grow
and thrive. With a positive attitude and determination you can
move mountains!
