Working and living under same roof has a host of advantages, but it can present some challenges (in addition to workaholic syndrome mentioned, above) and stress factors.

Here are four ways to create a less stressful home business environment:

-Remember why you wanted to become involved with a home-based business (i.e. more time for family, work schedule flexibility, etc.)

-Have discussions with your family members and get their input about working arrangements and amount of time they want with you.

-Use good time management techniques. Keep a list of tasks by order of importance. There are many low cost and effective "day planners" or "organizers" readily available today.

-ALWAYS take a little time to "smell roses".

While not experiencing negatives common to a corporate office working environment, home-based business owner may occasionally experience stresses and frustrations that are unique to working at home. Networking with other home-based and small business owners provides an opportunity to connect with others who may be experiencing same stresses/frustrations that you are. Sharing stressful and/or frustrating issues with someone else in same situation can relieve your stress and may bring you good advice from a different point of view.

As a final note, remember to observe Home-Based Business Week each year (it is always week of October that includes second Tuesday).

Make sure you find legitimate drop shippers who have product(s) you want to sell, talk with them on phone or by e-mail and let them know that you are truly serious about doing business with them.

Customer support counts in dropshipping business, so don't hesitate to contact dropshipping suppliers before you proceed to work with them.

This will help you decide if you really want to do business with a particular drop shipper or not.

To succeed in dropshipping business you'll have to LOOK for hard-to-find products that people desperately need and want to purchase.

The key is to sell products with little or no competition.

Do some research for product's you want to sell that you think will have little or no competition on eBay.

I suggest you RESEARCH for quality products & legitimate dropship suppliers, MONITOR eBay auction listings to see if there's any competition and TEST market (e.g. find out if people really want to spend CASH on product you want to sell)

Remember! Dropshipping makes it EASY for you to start and run your own home-based businesses on a shoestring budget; and eBay is 'perfect' MEDIUM to expose your product to potential buyers all over globe!
