We spend so much time trying to get the business up and running that we may end up becoming burned out and lose our motivation. There is so much to learn and
As Im sitting here installing a wireless mouse, I started thinking. I started to think about how much work , just in the past 4 months, I have been putting into starting a home based business.Yep, I jumped on the wham (work at home mom) ban wagon. Im a stay at home mom of two daughters; prior to children I enjoyed my work very much. All this hype about home based businesses was going around and I immediately said thats for me, thats exactly what Im looking for. I mean home based business; I can be a stay at home mom and get the satisfaction out of a job that I use to get when working. I currently do work very part time from home making customer service calls for a few car dealerships and I love doing it. Hearing about all the so called money you can make from an online business sounds extremely wonderful to me. Is it for real? Are people really making the money they are saying? Well if they are, I want in on it too. So how will I know if I dont take the chance myself?So like I mentioned, its only been 4 months and wow the work you have to put into it. But guess what? Thats what I love about working, having to work, use your brain, face challenges, and overcome obstacles that to me is satisfaction. In this article I want to share what I have learned about what it takes so far, to even take on this challenge.Time - Something we all need more of. It probably takes a minimum of 10 hours a week to put into starting your home based business. I put probably 15 to almost 20 hours a week in. You need to remember its a job, you are building a business you MUST put in the time in order to be successful.Patience Which I dont have much of. I am learning and realizing that not only do you need to put in time, but it takes time to build up your business. Not only do you need to be patient with building it, but you need to be patient with your kids. Its an adjustment for them to now have to share you with your work. You now have to juggle more then what you are use to. With the added stress, its understandable to lose your patience. Being patient will help us to focus more and lessen the stress.Learn to Juggle No not knives or balls. Remember Im a stay at home mom. My day consists of meal making, assisting in the bathroom, being referee, doing laundry, keeping the kids entertained, and remembering that I need to eat. Theres more to that list but you get the idea. Now combine that with trying to start a business. See what I mean, you need to juggle your mom duties with your work duties. You will be amazed at what a good juggler you can be when you are determined to succeed.Support from one very important person YOU. Sure it would be nice if others were supporting you, it definitely helps when family and friends are behind what you are doing. The most important person you need support from is yourself. You are the one taking on the challenge, you are the one finding the time, you are the one learning to juggle life, you are the one with the goals, determination and reasons for wanting to have a home based business. You need to believe in yourself, keep yourself positive and motivated, and support yourself to succeed. If you have yourself to believe in, then nothing can stop you.I hope to continue on writing articles about home based businesses and how successful they really are, because thats what I plan on doing, succeeding. How nice it will be to help others be successful working from home, so be sure to watch for more articles by me.Cori Sachais [email protected]://www.informingwomen.com
