It’s easy to make money from a home based business, or so we are told.
Well, it can be if you get your mind and business set-up correctly.
Here’s some numbers:
80% of new businesses fail within the first five years.
Only 5% will make millions upon millions. Really??
The rest of us (15%) are just going to live normally.
My take on these numbers:
As much as I like numbers, these numbers suck.
However, they are the numbers, that are thrown out all the time.
When you look at the numbers as they are described above.
It sounds like you don’t have chance in hell of succeeding in business.
So let’s quickly break them down a little more:
Forget the 80%, you’re a positive person and you’re going to make this business work.
5% will be rich. (Millions) In the United States, that’s 15,000 people.
How many people do you know (that you can talk to) that are rich? 500 or 600 maybe a 1000.
Out of 15,000 people, that’s still a pretty good chance to be rich, and I’ll take it.
15% live normally. Normally, for me, means job replacement, or $100,00 a year, or 10,000 a month.
15% in the United States, is 45 million people.
I don’t need to rich, but 15% means I don’t have work for someone else, and i can do that.
Don’t be fooled by the promises of fast, easy money in your home business.
What does it take to succeed in business:
At the risk of sounding negative, I ask the following question.
Why do so many businesses fail?
This may be easier to answer.
Many businesses fail because they do not have a clear plan.
To have a successful business, you need a desire combined with a plan of action, and the commitment to work your business even when things don’t go the way you would like.
These are behaviors that may be hard to change, if at all.
Making money online is not always easy, but it can be done with the right mindset and a plan.
Your business needs a commitment from you.
Building your business will take some hard work.
It will even take some money to be successful.
You have to know when work hard or when to spend money or both.

“You need to know where you are going, to know when you are there.” – unknown
Going to Grandma’s House
If you are going to Grandma’s house for holiday dinner.
You need a plan.
You need to know:
What time are you leaving?
What time are you going to get there?
How are you going to get there?
What is for dinner and do I have to bring anything?
Do I have to talk to Uncle Bill or can I watch football?
It may not seem like it, but a plan has been made for going to holiday dinner at Grandma’s.
Even the best plans never work exactly the way you would like them to, so you also have to be ready for change.
Because, no matter what happens, Uncle Bill will still be late for dinner.
In Business You Need A Plan:
What does having a home business mean to you?
Do you believe in yourself?
What are your goals for your business?
How long do you expect to take to be successful?
How will your life change when you are successful?
Your goal could be as simple as “I’m going to make $100,000 in 12 months”
It’s a simple step, but one that very few people do.
Only successful people actually decide what, when and how.
That’s why they are successful.
It’s crucial to set objectives and have a plan, if you want to be successful in your home business.
YOUR GOALS HAVE TO BE REALISTIC, HONEST AND ACHIEVABLE.
It takes hard work and persistence to make money online from a home business.
With a plan, some hard work, a little money and little bit of luck anyone can be successful.
Having a clear goal and plan will be the first step to making money online from your home business.
Now go write your plan to make your millions with your home business.
Set your goals and plan.
Do it now before you forget.
