What THEY Don't Tell You! (About Home Business)
Copyright © 2004, Keith Bryan
Work at Home 101
http://www.workathome-101.net/



I know what you're thinking....... "Oh great, another conspiracy
theory". Hardly. As I wade further into the realm of working
at home I notice a few things that nobody bothered to tell me
when I first started. Do I think it's a conspiracy? Not at all.
I believe that in the world of online business there are some
things that are simply assumed......

The purpose of this article is to help out anyone and everyone
looking to start working from home. Here is my list of
everything THEY don't tell you when you first start your online
experience.


1. If you want to be successful you will have to put in more
than two hours per week.

As they start most people have it in their heads that they
will be making $100,000 within their first 4 1/2 months
working just 2 or 3 hours per week. This simply isn't the
case. Use your sense of reason....... can you build a
successful business in 2-3 hours? Most people that do well
in home business work at it as if it were a second job. It
becomes an obsession. After all, it's YOUR business now.
Have some pride in it and be willing to put in the effort
it takes to make it.


2. Comfort comes first.

Get a desk, a comfy chair, an ergonomic keyboard, a headset
for your telephone etc. While all of this may seem like
just luxuries at first soon enough they will be what
prevents you from quitting. How horrible would it be to
not want to work on your business simply because your chair
is uncomfortable and you just cant stand to sit in it for
another minute? Make sure you are comfortable with your
workspace. If you aren't you may find yourself avoiding
your business!


3. Eliminate Distractions

Personally, I can't accomplish anything without music
playing. It helps me focus. But a put TV anywhere near
me and I won't get anything done at all. A good friend of
mine is the complete opposite! So figure out what distracts
you and get rid of it! (at least while you're trying to
work). It's hard enough working on your business without
"Judge Judy" or "The Simpsons" trying to distract you as
well. I also turn off all my messenger services like Yahoo
and AOL when I want to get some work done. The last thing
I need when I'm trying to work is some kid asking me......
"Hey.... M/F?" I'll turn them on if I'm just answering
e-mail or something simple....... but if it involves any
amount of real thought I would rather avoid the distraction.


4. Yes, you DO need your own website.

I know just about every affiliate program out there will
tell you that they provide "free websites!". Just to clear
the water a bit...... these sites are about as useless as a
refrigerator in the arctic. It doesn't matter whether you
choose to build yourself on your own or have someone build
it for you ...... but get something! There are plenty of
free website services out there if you are worried about
price. I know several people that have done very well with
just a free website from geocities or something of the sort.
I would suggest getting a real site once you are making
some money though....... simply because it looks more
professional.


5. Get Help

Everyone wants to have something that they built all by
themselves. Unfortunately, pride seems to be a big factor
in home business failure. There are hundreds, if not
thousands, of people that are making a living online
already. Why try to figure everything out by yourself?
Would you rather break down and ask someone "What's an
autoresponder?"........... or continue to work at that
job you hate forever. I've always thought is was a simple
choice! Never be afraid to ask a question........ and if
you have some........go to this site and join the forum to
ask about what you need to know!

6. Honesty Helps

With as many scams as there are on the internet these days
it's hard to believe that there are still honest people out
there. There are still ways to make money by being honest.
In the long run it will help you out more than trying to
cheat a few people out of money right now. Don't cheat.
Don't lie. Don't steal. You'd think it would be simple
but all too many people choose the "other" way just to make
a quick dollar. Sometimes being honest actually will slow
your business at first....... but in the long run you will
do much better than all the cheaters out there!


As you can see, none of these are anything that I would say are
really "hidden" from people. They are not mentioned very often
however. If you're looking for the "secret" to making a living
online there are many technical things that you will eventually
learn. Hopefully these tips will help you sort out the
psychological aspects of home business that can make you
a success.

Best Wishes!
