As I research more about home business successes, I keep learning amazing things about the small but successful home entrepreneurs. I just wanted to share with you some traits, which have motivated me highly.

It is amazing, awesome, incredible and even surprising to learn about all the happening on the home business front online. People from different backgrounds - truck drivers, pizza delivery boys, out of work executives, aspiring new entrepreneurs - all becoming millionaires many times over working their part time home based or full time small enterprises harnessing internet as a tool.

Just imagine this happening few years after the dotcom failures where people invested millions in their online business ventures and went bust. Whereas many out of work people without money became big entrepreneurs through harnessing the internet, making a success of their home business, living a lifestyle they could not have dreamed of anywhere else.

So how did they succeed in their home based business while people were going bust even with millions invested in their online businesses?

As I research and learn more about these entrepreneurs, my conclusion is simple. They all have three things in common.

1. They believed they could succeed.

Their firm belief and conviction in their own abilities gave them a unique power, a magnetism that was visible. Because they believed in themselves, people too believed them. Customers and vendors believed in them. Belief is the powerful vehicle on which they drive their business to new heights everyday.

2. They learnt all they could on working their home business online and offline.

They just did not jump in on a whim or fancy. They understood the power and freedom it could bring them and learnt everyday on how to harness the power of communicating. They continue to learn to everyday. They are masters of the vast ocean of knowledge available about their business. Truly for them Knowledge is Power.

3. They persisted against all adversity.

They kept failing but never gave up and kept learning why they failed. They kept improving and persisted with their venture until they achieved success. For some it took a few months. For some it took years. However, they never gave up. These three things run consistently with everyone of these entrepreneurs. They are now enjoying their home businesses, economic freedom, their lives of leisure and their aspirations of helping others achieve what they have.

So let this be the time when you go forth with a steely resolve and move your home business forward. Just remember the three keys above and success is assured and just round the corner.
