Anybody that runs a home-based business knows that you must be motivated. You must be motivated to get out of the morning and go to work; even if it is in the next room. Realize also that no one is watching you and you can pretty much do whatever you want and if you are a lazy person or if you do not have very good strong work ethic you could fail.

A home-based business is nice because it does not cost as much as renting an office and starting a real business, but there are severe drawbacks when you cannot separate your business life from your personal life or if you lack motivation. In fact many people who run a small business out of their home get up around 10:00 and mosey into the kitchen and make a few phone calls and watch a little TV and do a little work and the next thing they know they quit for the day. Or they go run a personal errand or they just simply play hooky for the day and they do not make any money.

This is an easy way to destroy your home-based business and this is why home-based business professionals need to have some sort of strength of character and set some serious goals to stay motivated. Perhaps if you own a home-based business and you are having problems staying motivated then you might want to buy a book on motivation or some self-help tapes that you can listen to in order to keep you motivated at a high level. Please consider this in 2006.
