You are only one who can stand up for you. Your friends and family will seldom be able to appreciate your dedication to your home business, unless you make effort to make sure that they have same respect for your business that you do.

TIP #5: You should allot a certain portion of your day to email and to regular mail. For example, allot one hour in morning and one hour in afternoon to handling your written communications.

Unless you dedicate certain times to handling of these communications, you will soon find yourself on downward slope of decreased productivity.

TIP #6: When you find yourself spending too much time doing non-productive activities, then you should seriously consider finding a third-party service provider who will assist you in those non-profitable business activities.

As an example, you might be in mail-order business. You might believe that your time is best spent writing ad copy and setting up your advertising, but you find yourself spending far too much time taking care of your books to take care of your advertising in manner that you should. In this event, it might make more sense to hire a bookkeeper to handle your financial records for you.

CONCLUSION: In end, success of your home business is entirely and completely reliant upon you and decisions that you make.

You had your reasons for deciding to start your own home based business. You must always keep your reasons in forefront of your mind. You must always be able to rely upon your own self and your dedication to success of your business.

Your friends and family might be annoyed that they cannot come visit upon their own whim, but when success comes to you and your business, they will better appreciate you for putting your foot down when necessary.

Success is within your reach, if only you can stay focused on your goals. You must decide to reach for your goals, and then, you must have discipline necessary to reach them.

Creativity in internet marketing is being able to think beyond what others have accomplished to date. It's being able to take pulse of internet and human condition and react by putting something together that is needed and desired.

Determination is being able to go out on a limb and work until you succeed despite obstacles and nay sayers. It is fueled by belief in yourself and your creative ideas.

Do you have these two key ingredients? Can you see what is possible that thousands of other great minds have overlooked? If so, can you then take that vision and turn it into reality with dogged determination and perhaps hardest work you have ever done in your life?

If you have "it," then you can go learn about our trade from technical (tools) standpoint and you can use them to succeed with your creativity and determination. The tools are worthless by themselves.

I hope one day to see a lot more questions about creative process as it relates to business and success in forums in future. I want to see questions (and honest answers!) about how much work it takes to create a profitable business online. Then I will know that a lot more people are on track and are asking RIGHT questions. Most of all, I hope to see more training materials from experts that deal with not only what tools and systems to use, but with topics on how to think freely, on your own, about how you could make something better or make something new out of situation at hand.

Finally, when you hear that this business is not for everyone, it means quite specifically that this business is not for people who cannot think outside norm and work long hours. That's why businesses that people try to sell you that "do all work so you don't even have to think" are so absurd.

No one has ever succeeded at anything without creativity and determination. Unless they have entered a couch potato contest. But even then most successful people are going to be ones who think creatively about how to sit on that couch longer than anyone else and watch more TV than was formerly thought humanly possible.

Here is an example using above: 99% of people who set out to be #1 Couch Potato will simply start out by sittting in front of TV for as long as they can. They think, "I will just out-potato everyone else by doing it 24/7."

And they will all fail. Because one person is going to think creatively and freely. They are going to buy 5 TVs and plug them all in in front of couch. They are going to out-potato everyone else by being able to compound amount of TV they can watch by 5 times amount of everyone else while doing no more work than other 99%. Through creativity and determination, person who wins at anything is going to find ways to succeed that most people never would have thought of.

In end, if you want to succeed online, you must ask yourself: Do I REALLY have creativity and determination to turn my current situation into a better one through an online business? Don't worry about tools and know-how. Those can be learned and used by anyone. But there is no need to commit yourself to a big learning curve if you don't have what it really takes to succeed in end.
