3. Don’t believe everything you read.

I loverepparttar line fromrepparttar 117835 Billy Crystal movie I just saw called 61*. Micky Mantel says “Well, they said so on TV so it must be true.” There are some unscrupulous marketers out there, promising all kinds of impossible dreams, schemes, and riches. Use your common sense. No one can make a million dollars doing nothing, you can’t eat, shop and advertise and get paid enough to do it to make a living. You must sell something, either your knowledge, services, or products. And you might be able to eventually start receiving residuals for doing nothing, but my guess is that you started doing SOMETHING first.

4. Never talk bad about your competitors.

Instead, talk up your business. You can point out what you have, do or guarantee that your competitors don’t without naming names. Pointing fingers will only make you look unprofessional and trivial. Benefits sell, not negative comments and bashing others.

5. Don’t give up.

Now this doesn’t mean that you should forgo paying for your mortgage so that you can buy advertising. If you think that because you have placed your 10 ads, you have put up a website and you have made your banner and still didn’t become rich, you should quit, your mistaken. Anything worth doing is worth doing well. You might need to continue working at your J.O.B. until you start bringing in enough with your own business to reach your inner income goals. That’s ok, you’re working towards your goals and that’s positive. Regardless of whatrepparttar 117836 hype says, you can’t become wealthy overnight and by doing nothing.

I hope my opinions have atrepparttar 117837 very least, given you something to think about.

4. Decide when your hours will be. Now I know that having a home business means that you have flexible hours but I’m talking about a quitting time. Decide what it will be and stick with it. You will be happier, your family will be happier and you won’t have to hear “Are you still onrepparttar computer?” Most professional people will understand if you don’t reply to them at 8:00 at night. Oh, and don’t check your e-mail before you go to bed!! It’s never as simple as that.

5. Believe in yourself. How long have you wanted to work at home? How long have you dreamed of owning your own business? You trust yourself, right? Apply yourself, learn, listen to your heart. Put forthrepparttar 117834 effort and commitment it takes to succeed. Avoidrepparttar 117835 “what if”’s, regrets and disappointments that come with passing up on your dreams and goals. Go for it!!
