|
|
Before I start my own home based business I was always wondering how easy or hard is to work on a home base business... But now after a few good years since I start working from home I think I have the answer and I want to share it with you...
The truth is that it depends of your expectations, especially about your financial expectations. And that's because working on a home based business will grant you a steady income without sacrificing your comfort and without a strict program - but in 99% of the cases you won't be able to earn as much as you could doing the same time in a full time job.
But for myself I consider that working from home is a great solution and you family will certainly appreciate it. I met a lot of single mothers that felt guilty for working outside of the home and leave their kids in daycare. For them and their kids (but not only) working at home would be a real bless.
There are many women struggle with the big dilemma: kids verses career aspects of motherhood and finally come tot he conclusion that a home-based lifestyle is the best solution to cover both aspects of her life.
However there are a few guidelines that must be followed:
- One of the biggest problems when working at home is to find customers so be sure that you never refuse a potential customer
- Always deliver top quality work and you'll see that the people will not only return to you with more work, but also recommend you to other people
- Every time on possible ask for a testimonial which you can show to other people
- The beginning ('till you make yourself a little reputation) may be harder so it's a good idea that for the beginning to ask lower prices so people chose you
- when you work from home you are not only a worker, but also a sales man and a PR person... so remember that you should always be kind and nice with your customers and that your communication skills match your working skills
I will end this post quoting a very successful work-at-home mom:
"Many outsiders may assume that those of us who work from home are probably giving up a lot, particularly in the earnings department, and this couldn't be farther from the truth! I make an excellent living as a freelance writer from home and I have the job flexibility to be available for my three-year-old son" (Amy Bowles (amybowles@aol.com)) |

Stefan- You are absolutely correct.
It all depends on your expectations when you begin the home business.
Do you want to do it part time or full time, how much do you want to make, lifestyle, children, etc.
Let me tell you something, I year ago I was sitting in a cubicle staring at my computer when an email came through.
"Make $2000,000-$300,000 Per Year"
So..I clicked.
A bit of background--- I had graduated from the University, and found my DREAM job, I was working for one of the largest IT consulting firms around and was getting NOWWHERE! I was in meeting with people 3 times my age and doing things I had NO interesting...
Ok...Let me continue...
I opened the email and got started with this "home business"
I was extremely motivated and wanted to make it happen so bad that I put in another 40 hours on top of my 50 hour work week I was already putting in with my company.
3 months later nothing.
Why? No leadership, no mentoring, no resources...plus it was my fault. No knowledge of what I was getting myself into.
Well...where am I now. After struggling and finally finding the right opportunity, within 3 months of joining my current program (www.wealthsupersystem.com) I was able to QUIT my JOB!
I am not joking. Three months. Let me explain to you how that happened.
1. I NEVER gave up
2. I EDUCATED myself
3. I learned from others
Now I teach others how to succeed in marketing as well. I have mastered the web 2.00 marketing and create a HUGE income with it every month. (www.DedicatedMarketers.com)
What it comes down to is a DREAM, EDUCATION, PERSISTENCE, A SOLID MENTOR.
I hope this helps and I hope that you are able to achieve your dreams..NEVER give up, there are way too many ways to make money from home with less effort and stress than at a JOB.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. |

It's all up to you on what kind of business are you looking for. MLM, 1-up program, 2-up program, affiliate program, etc...I can tell you that there is a real business that 's not MLM and different from any other program.
