Do you require to start a home based business? Do you reckon you have what it takes? I am going to tell you how I failed at my first home based business. Hopefully you can learn from my mistakes and succeed.
There's many home based business opportunities, a number of them are internet related and some are not. You can start something out of your own imagination. Or you can order a plug-n-play system from somebody else.
My problem is that I got so overwhelmed with the potential that I didn't pay attention to the details. I saw that I could make big money and that is all I saw. In the back of my mind I knew that I would not enjoy the work required to make this business a success. But I kept looking at the dollar signs. I kept telling myself that I could do something that I wasn't comfortable doing if it meant becoming rich.
I'm now compelled to tell you about a home based business and why I failed at it. It is because I had unrealistic expectations. I dreamed about being my own boss and quitting my day job. I came across an opportunity that seemed too lovely to be true, and it was. Don't get me wrong. This opportunity was legitimate and a lot of people have made a lot of money with it.
You see, I am not comfortable with person to person sales. This job required that I make face to face sales. It required that I run advertising to promote my business. It then required that I make numerous phone calls to sell my product and build a down-line.
I spent a tremendous amount of money on advertising; and I got a lot of results. But each result required that I call the person and try to make a sale. I was so uncomfortable making these calls. I would spend several hours making the calls and by the time I was done, I would be so stressed out that I could not relax. It got to where I could not sleep at night. Eventually I got so stressed that I stopped making the calls. All of the advertising amounted to a huge loss because I was unable to follow up on the leads.
In summary, pick the business opportunity that is right for you. Don't start a business because somebody else has made money on it. Concentrate on building a business that is right for you and the profits will come.
Here are some important points for you to follow if you require to succeed.
1. Examine the business opportunity and be realistic. If the job is going to require you to take actions that you are uncomfortable with, then you won't succeed.
2. Ignore the $$$ and pick something you like doing. If you don't like what you are doing, you won't succeed.
3. Stay within your personal potential; just because John Doe makes $1000 a week doing a business from home doesn't mean you will. It takes different kinds of people to do different things. Not everybody can succeed at the same thing.
4. Stick with a budget. Don't let somebody else talk you into spending more money then you can afford.
