A Journey Of A Thousand Miles Begins With A Single Step: Starting Your Own Home Based Business
You know them by heart � all those reasons why a home based business would solve all your problems. It�s a litany which runs over and over in your mind. � More time with the family! � You�re the boss, no time card! � No set schedule � work whenever you like! � Dress the way you want; work in your jammies and barefoot! � Making a living without leaving the house! � You�d be free � free � free! You�d enjoy the benefits; you�d have the flexibility to be there for your family, and spend more time with your children. You�d arrange your work schedule around them... your expenses would go down, your productivity would go up. NO MORE OFFICE POLITICS! So you surf the net... drooling over the idea. You�ve read every �Work from Home� site out there... at least twice. These things never work, you mumble to yourself. They never give you everything you need to succeed. If they�d just let you in on that one final secret to success; you could do it. That�s all you need; then you would make it. Well actually, there are two; Two Deep Dark Secrets. These are the last two pieces of the puzzle; the missing links; two things most new internet marketers miss entirely. These are the final secrets to getting results from your online business, the final ingredients which will allow you to become a Master Marketer. And I�m going to give them to you for free: If you�re like most of us, you have a long list of free products you�ve downloaded and maybe a few you�ve purchased that show you how to start you own home business. Have you read them? Have you really read them? And if you did, then did you read them again � maybe taking some notes? You�d be astounded by what you�ll pick up the second time around. Did you devour them? Keeping up to date by investing in informational products is a must; but it�s equally important to actually read the books and put them into practice. You don�t need to buy every new product that comes out, looking for the 'secret ingredient' that will finally bring you success. You�re the secret ingredient. The first big secret then is this; read those books you download (even the free ones). Take the good information and ignore the rest. Study the information; take notes. Then get busy! So now you are totally overwhelmed by all the work from home information you�ve downloaded onto your computer. How can you possibly implement all of this? There�s more here to do than you can ever accomplish. Okay, I�ll agree, you can�t do it all today. But as they say, �Rome wasn�t built in a day.� Which leads us to the second big secret; you can start your home based business, �one step at a time.� Get the basics, either from a helpful website, or by purchasing an informational product. (You�ll probably want to purchase one or two really good resource books to get started, but check your computer first; you may have already downloaded sufficient information... all you have to do is read it.) Make a plan of action and begin setting up your business. Then follow your plan; a list of the most logical and important �next steps� for your business. As you complete one phase, you move on to the next. And suddenly, you don�t have massive amounts of improvements to make; you just have one next phase to accomplish. You�ll be focused on your goals. Every day when you begin work, you�ll always know what you�re going to do; it�s the top thing on your list. You work on it until it�s completed. Then you move on to the next phase. Before long you�ll be looking back at how far you�ve come rather than wringing your hands in frustration over how far you have to go. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step � and now you know the first and most important two.
