4. Invest in other people.

A key to many home businesses is having a passionate desire to help others. You will need to invest time and energy into ensuring your customers are delighted and become product/service lovers which give you repeat business. 5. Invest your time.

One of most powerful aspects of a home business is that you can build a business part time while working full time in a job. Success comes to those people who dedicate regular, weekly time to their business, no matter what other commitments they have. You will need to jealously guard those precious hours so other life-matters do not take over.

6. Invest in problem solving.

Probably not long after you get started you will encounter some problems. You will have new skills to learn and at first your judgment will not be great and you may not see problems emerging until they arrive. It is a simple fact that some things will go wrong. Finding solutions will be your responsibility. How you emotionally approach and handle these challenges will determine how large your business will ultimately grow. If you are prepared to make this six-part investment in your business then a home business may just be vehicle to secure your financial future.
