Do Successful Home Based Business Owners REALLY Work In Their Robes
| Category: Home Based Business - is it for YOU? | Date: 2003-10-23 |
How many times have you seen an ad like "Make Money In Your Robe!" or "Make Money While You Sleep!"? Making money from home in a robe while curled up on the couch watching television sounds simply wonderful but how realistic is this?
Do successful home based business owners REALLY sit in their robe while making loads of money? Do they nap and bum around while their computer loads up on orders and their bank accounts fill up with cash? This is the image that many opportunity seekers picture and dream of for themselves. Is this how you have pictured yourself being successful?
Let me ask you another question; have you ever seen a successful business owner lying around their house all day, undressed and collecting money? Many of the ad campaigns for home based businesses give a false picture of what its really like working from home. This is not to say the opportunities themselves arent good, Im sure they are, but realistically making a business work whether its at home or not is hard work!
Owning a full time home based business is the hardest thing youll ever do! Even though home based businesses have low overhead and can be very lucrative, the most challenging part is mastering self-discipline. If you have no boss, no schedule to speak of, no where you have to be, imagine how hard it would be to motivate yourself! How easy it would be to sleep in, lounge around and procrastinate!
Several of my associates who work from home full time all agree that self-discipline has been the hardest part of their personal growth. They all have learned to maintain daily habits that they attribute to their success. I have to agree, these daily habits had a huge impact on my personal success as well.
The daily habits I speak of are simply getting myself out of bed early, showering, fixing my hair, getting ready and dressed. All as if Im heading out to meet the public. When I first started doing this it was so hard! Its too easy to lie in bed and wear my nightshirt around the house all day but let me tell you, its a huge production killer and a step further from success!
I am BY FAR more productive when Im ready to work. If you work a public job then you know you have to get up, dress and head out the door ready for the day. Why not do this for yourself and your business?
If you still work a public job start practicing your self-discipline by trying this on weekends. Saturday morning (or your next day off) get up early, get dressed and start to work on your project. You will see how much more productive you are and also how much better you will feel about yourself!
If you arent a morning person then no problem! Sleep till you know you "should" get up and DO IT! Get up and start your day. These simple habits can make or break your home based business success.
Realize that, YES, orders can come at anytime. You may happen to be in your jammies or asleep but be assured that GETTING to this point does not come from lying around. It comes from organization, hard work, and healthy daily habits! So GET UP, GET DRESSED, GET TO WORK AND SUCCEED!
