Work It
Many people would love to be able to build their own home
business. The chance to be your own boss, set your own working
hours, and be able to work in your pajamas if you wish is a huge
draw to so many of us! However, many people forget that a home
based business is just that...a business. There are many
legitimate home based business opportunities, however, they are
not get-rich-quick solutions. They require a lot of hard work
and dedication, and at first will more than likely have a slow
turn-around in profit. However, if a person is truly dedicated
and willing to work hard, it is very possible to create a
successful home business.
Another aspect of the home based business opportunity that is
often forgotten is that with nearly all opportunities, you can
not work solely from home. As a business owner, you are
responsible for your own networking, marketing, and advertising.
This means you will need to spend time out and about, putting up
fliers, brochures, and whatever other advertising avenues you
choose to use. You will need to talk to people. In a typical
day, we speak to dozens of people, from cashiers at the
supermarket, to gas station clerks, to our co-workers and
neighbors. Every time you speak to another human being is a
chance to promote your business.
The person you are speaking with may not be interested, but they
know dozens of people, too, and they might know someone else who
would be interested! It never hurts to talk to people...the
worst they can do is say no.
