Think about it for a moment. If you know who you are -- I mean, who you really are -- then you're more likely to DO things that are important to you.

You'll do things that you love and as you do things you love you'll get what things in life that you want. You'll have all those fancy toys, money, whatever it is that you want.

But for all of this to happen, you've got to do it in correct order - BE, DO, HAVE.

Don't fall into trap of becoming who you want to be after you've gotten things you want. It's is possible for you to be successful this way but you're much more likely to have a hollow success that fades away with time.

And you're not creating your home based business for that are you?

Highs and lows were something that I began to notice when I first started a home based business. I have many years of top level management experience in "traditional" corporations and have experienced lots of business cycles (corporate "ups and downs"), but natural "ups and downs" that occur in a home business (particularly in early stages) can be emotionally brutal if you don’t prepare yourself in advance for fact that it is a basic law of nature...it will be a rocky road until you have spent enough time and effort to build your business to a level that sort of smoothes out peaks and valleys.

The impact of highs and lows you will probably experience in developing your home based business is amplified by fact that you are now in business on your own. You are boss and get to make all decisions, but you are also on your own in dealing with frustrations that will occur along way while you are developing your business.
