Third: Dress part. This may seem silly, but it's really important. If you're dressed for business, you're more likely to keep your mind on business. Be comfortable, but look sharp. You don't have to wear a business suit, since you're at home you can go a little more casual, just don't sit around in your pajamas all day. You'll be surprised how lethargic that can make you.

Fourth: Create an effective work space. The basics of daily life are more disruptive than you realize. If you're stopping every few minutes to deal with kids, dog, and spouse, if there's a television on in room or if you're right by family phone, you're not going to get a lot done. Set aside a quiet, out-of-the-way office space in your house and make it off limits during your work hours. This may be a spare room, or just corner of your bedroom. Whichever you choose, just make sure there's a door between you and world.

Once you have your space, decorate it and keep it neat. Set up your space like a real office. Put up a couple of pictures, hang up your diploma, get a plant, whatever you think will motivate you. Then keep your papers organized and your trash bin emptied. A nice looking, organized space will really contribute to your productivity.

Take your home business seriously. If you follow these tips, you'll find yourself getting a lot more work done, and that only means more profit. There's money to be made out there if you know how to do it.

To make a long story short, I decided to solicit advice of a friend who is a Reading Specialist in our local school district She suggested that I learn speed reading techniques.

Of course I had never heard of speed reading so I was a bit apprehensive.

But then I thought...

What heck! What could I lose?

She recommended Howard Berg's Mega Speed Reading. After filling me in on details of Howard Berg and his Speed Reading Program, she gave me his literature and I ordered program. It came with an unconditional money back guarantee. How could I go wrong? If it didn't work, I would send it back.

And verdict is....

Wow! It only took me 4 hours to learn techniques. Yippy! I could speed read. Quick! Easy! It was actually fun. I was ecstatic. I didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. It really worked!

Within 2 weeks of implementing Mega Speed Reading techniques I cut my reading time in half. The program also taught me how to increase my comprehension and memory.

I was able to read all of those web pages, ebooks, reports, articles, and magazines in record time.

In a nutshell, I got more work done in half time. There was no more desperation, agitation, frustration, or stress.

I became a happy and successful entrepreneur.

What Did I Learn?

When faced with a challenge, don't give up.

Challenges will come (especially if you're starting a business). You must overcome challenge in order to be successful.

Face challenge head on. Use your challenge as a learning experience.

Don't stop until you find a solution to a challenge. Your success depends upon it.

At end of every challenge there is a lesson to be learned and shared with others.
