Going Heart to Heart with Your Desire to Run an Internet Home Business
Working from home is great. There is no doubt about it. As a matter of fact, you will be hard-pressed to find anyone who will persuasively argue that spending two hours each day in rush hour traffic stuck on the turnpike to get to a job where the boss will not appreciate them, where they are underpaid, and where their creative juices are effectively stifled could be any more rewarding than being their own boss. However, you will not so hard-pressed to find those who have tried to work from home and who will have some words of warning. As a matter of fact, going heart to heart with your desire to run an Internet home business is perhaps one the most cost effective ways to avoid mistakes and failure from the get-go.
First and foremost – operating on the assumption that you have done your research and you have an Internet business already in mind – do you have the time to devote to the business? For example, if you are the creative type who can crank out some of the most beautiful artwork or writing during regular business hours, it will not do to wait with getting down to business until the kids are in bed at night. If your creative juices stop flowing after six in the evening, then an Internet home business as a graphic artist, commercial artist, or freelance writer will not work for you. On the other hand, if the kids are in school and you have the lion’s share of your day to devote to your business during the time where creativity is highest, then you are ready to go into business!
Secondly, how supportive is your family and your friends? Will they understand that even though you are at home you are actually working and thus not truly available to do battle with the dust bunnies under the beds that seem to be reproducing at an alarming rate? In addition to the foregoing, is it understood that just because you are home each and every member of the family needs to pitch in with household chores, gardening duties, and assorted other items that usually would fall on the shoulders of the one who is home and would have the time to perform these tasks – if she or he was not working? If you do not have family support, you will find yourself doing double duty and not only will you work your schedule, but you will also find that you are primarily responsible for the upkeep of the home and this will get overwhelming over time.
Third and last, perhaps just as important, can you handle rejection? Even as you may enthusiastically nod your head in agreement, consider the way you will feel if nine of your ten drawings are rejected and the last one will not fetch the price you set – do you think you will still have the eagerness and the spring in your step to do it all over again the next day? Will you be motivated to continue on, even when things are not going well, you do not seem to be able to close a sale to save your life, and your competition appears to be going gangbusters while you have not had a serious inquiry in your e-mail’s inbox for about a week? Only a self starter who will self motivate day after day will succeed in this business! Thus, going heart to heart with your desire to run an Internet home business will be one of the most important prerequisites to ever opening your virtual doors for business!
