Hard Work - A Dirty Concept
Hard Work - A Dirty Concept?
As I sit here in front of the fire and TV at 8.30pm on a
Wednesday evening, many would be mistaken for thinking that
working from home is easy. But then that is before you take into
account my daily routine:
I get up at around 7.45am and feed the cats and sheep, make
myself a cup of tea and then by 8.30am I am sat in front of my
computer collecting my emails and responding to the numerous
enquiries for more information on my MLM business.
Then after an hour I start my daily traffic exchange surfing,
forum posting, yahoo group blasting and so on....This daily
routine of promotion and advertising takes me until around lunch
time. The afternoon is then taken up following up prospects,
updating my websites and checking and responding to further
emails. I usually finish for the day at around 6pm, although I
always leave the computer on and check my emails again before
turning in for the night.
I work longer hours now that I work full time from home on my
MLM business than I did when I worked a normal day job. Then I
started at 9am, leaving the house at around 8.40am, I had an
hour for lunch and a couple of breaks through the day and
finished at 5.15am, being back by 5.30pm. Now I start at 8.30am
and finish at 6pm with the odd trip downstairs to make a cup of
tea and half an hour for lunch.
Of course I wouldn't and don't think I could go back to working
for someone else and doing a 'usual' 9 til 5 job but why do
people think working from home is easy. And why are so many
people scared of putting in some good old fashioned hard work to
make their homebased business a success.
Working from home, whether you are in a MLM program, an
affiliate program or running your own website, selling your own
product, promotion, getting sales and following up prospects all
takes time and effort. You must put in the time and effort
needed to get your business off the ground, you must do the
promotion required to get those sales, you must follow up with
your customers, update your website and answer emails and so on.
Anyone who joins an affiliate program, becomes a distributor for
a MLM company or starts their own home based business must be
prepared to work at it, and usually work much harder than you
would going to the office each day and working for someone else.
If you are afraid of a little hard work, then do not attempt to
start you own home based business because the bottom line is you
will fail. If hard work is a dirty concept to you, stick to
working for someone else.
If you are prepared to put in the hard slog and really work at
it, then you will find working from home very rewarding and in
the long run, be it one, two or three years down the line, you
will be successful. And your success will be proportional to the
hard work you put in at the beginning.
Stick at it....you will succeed.
