Are you tired of having your future lay in your boss's hands? Take the stand and find you niche and run with it. This day in age, anything is possible. If you have drive, dedication, and support, there should be nothing in your way that can stop you!
There are so many opportunities on the internet that give all of us an option to start a home business. Whether it's homemade products, at home party business, marketing, or data entry. You can make a choice to work from home and love it. Here are the steps to follow:
First : Make the decision to work for yourself.
This is a heavty role to committ to, so when you make that decision, decide your hours of work, decide your level of dedication, make these decisions and stick with. The most meaningful quote I heard when making this decision is ask yourself, "Would I have fired myself today?".
Second : Don't spread yourself too thin.
Working from home means just that, you are working in your home and home needs to matter too. Keep the balance, in step one you already decided your hours. This is where that matters, making a list will help tremendously here. Making a business means selling yourself. But remember why you decided to work at home, for many of us we stay home to be with our kids, but need to feel like we are contributing. If you are home for your kids. Schedule your working hours around them. Make those sort or sacrifices.
Third : Expect challenges, share frustrations, and learn from failures.
Admit you are up against a big world out there! You have a dream but you will have a lot in your way. No matter your dedication, no matter your drive. Something along the way will crash into the momentum... Expect this! Talk about this frustration, if not talk write about share the challenge help someone else learn from it. When you allow yourself to learn from a mistake whether it's your mistake or anothers, you are giving yourself the ulitmate lesson. You learned what not to do next time.
Fourth : Don't push!
We see it all the time, a new consultant throwing their new business ideas all around. Don't be pushy! Don't be aggressive! Most importantly don't get angry. We all like a certain spice about life. The spice you've chosen to sell might not be for a few of your friends. Understand, respect, and thank them for at the very least allowing you the opportunity to show them your new adventure. Just becuase a few people aren't in love with your idea, does not mean they never will be. Be open to this possibility and no matter what never be angry from a no thank you. Be thankful for the opportunity. If anything look at as another opportunity to learn more about your business and how you want to present.
Fifth and final : Be You!
Always be yourself! You decided this fate you decided on this business, Embrace it and make it yours!!! Be confident with it, always show confidence even if you aren't certain give the posture that you are. No one else is going to walk thru your front door and tell you what will and will not work with Your business! Own it, Love it, and Be a confident You!!
So I am guilty of not following a number of these steps... But I believe in each of them. I believe that these steps are the core to a business builder. I feel confidence can carry a person straight to the top. Allowing others to make the decision to love what you are doing is the only way to succeed. Making them feel they need you opposed to you needing them is the true meaning of a successful business and business builder!
Any business you choose, choose it and work it!!! Once the decision is made focus and work! This is what it takes!!!
