When I started developing a home based business, making a good income was obviously an objective, but I also had other sub-objectives. One of most important things was to have nearly total time flexibility (I mean, if I was willing to continue to wear 9-5 Mon-Fri collar I could just have just stayed in previously "traditional" work force).

Time flexibility was (and still is) a "biggie" for me. Many people working at home have same need for various reasons. For work at home moms, a home business can be a real godsend to accommodate hectic time pressures, particularly when kids are quite young and mom is also spelled "transportation". In my own particular case, reason is not quite so noble...I just want (need?) to be able to pick up my fly rod and go fishing at a moments notice (sometimes I'll be gone for a week or two at a time, but now business has enough momentum that it keeps on operating just as well as if I were here tending to it on a daily basis).

Bear in mind, I am only able do breakaway thing now that I have put in all up-front time and effort and now have developed enough kinetic energy in my home-based Internet business to be able to enjoy fruits of my labor.

YOUR SUCCESS RESTS ENTIRELY UPON YOUR OWN SHOULDERS

You will now be boss. Are you truly able to work independently? Do you have drive; tenacity, to persevere with your home based business? Will you be able to invest necessary time to nurture it, to watch it grow and see it through, from germination to full, glorious bloom? When you're boss, you are responsible for success of your home business, from A to Z, from disappointments to victory.

When you work at home, it will empower you to achieve many things you were unable to do when you were stuck working for that tyrant boss. Remember him? He's guy that wouldn't let you take time off when your baby was sick...the same guy that called you in to work on Thanksgiving Day.

A home business means that you can take good care of your family and make money from home, simultaneously. You will have best of both worlds! Just think--no more dirty laundry piling up--you can do it while you work. No more scurrying around at last minute searching for a babysitter either. And no more worrying about getting fired; you'll be boss!

IN CONCLUSION...

Stay positive and focused on your home based business, even if, when sales aren't up to par, you get occasional negative remarks or derogatory comments from people with stuffy, dead-end jobs. Ignore their cutting words and bear in mind that success is best revenge! Keep your admirable, positive attitude at forefront and show them what you're made of!
