The biggest obstacle - YOU!Yes, you read correctly - it's you! Now that you areyour own boss, the only attitude you can control isyour own. You have to project a positive attitude whetheryou are face to face, on the telephone or on the computer,people can feel your moods, even from your writing.Whether you want to work your home business part-timeor full-time, do not work it just occasionally. If youtreat your new business as a hobby, you will be paidlike a hobby and frankly, I have not seen a hobby thatpays you well enough... BE CONSISTENT AND PERSISTENT! 2. Get rid of negative people! You have two options when it comes to people. They eitherfollow you, or make sure you get out of their way! Lookfor people who want to change. You can't deal with whiners! 3. So now you do not have to get up in the morning...After all, you are your own boss... Whether you work aregular 9-5 job or work from home, it is impertinent thatyou manage your time. Have a daily planner and mark thetime you will work, eat, read (yes, educate yourselfcontinually!), have fun, sleep, etc. This will be yourideal workday.Make sure and find a healthy balance between all youractivities. Don't forget your family, they're importanttoo... reserve time to spend with your loved ones.4. Back to time management... it's double important!I have found that successful people who work from home havedeadlines, do not have time to talk for hours on the phonewith friends, and above all, are more productive. If youfind yourself saying "I do not have time" ask yourself howmany hours you watch TV... or do other wasteful activities?5. This tip is especially for women and housemen!Explain to your children what you are doing. Makearrangements with them so you're not constantlyinterrupted. Maybe you have to hire a baby-sitter?After all, when you worked a regular job, isn't this whatyou had to do? I know a mother who involves her schoolage children and then pays them a percentage of her revenue.It's a great idea to awake that entrepreneurial spirit! 6. Find a company that gets you excited!Whether you market a product or a service, look carefullyat the company. What is their track record? Do theyenter the market with a new company every few months,only to take the money and run...? Do your homework!7. Choose a company that offers training...Maybe even certification in their specific field. Lookat it from your point of view: If you could design theperfect business, what features would it have? Thenlook for that company... even if it's your own!8. So now, sit back and get rich quick on the Internet...WRONG! Remember, even the best companies with the bestproducts aren't worth anything without people. Learn whatit is that people want and then share the benefits of yourproduct or service.It is the *benefits* that you market not the products orservices. "Sell the sizzle not the steak".REMEMBER, DISCIPLINE LEADS TO SUCCESS! Article Tags: From Home Source: Free Articles from ArticlesFactory.com
