Whatever it TakesWritten by Dave Balch
Continued from page 1
We as home-based or small business folk are one-man (or woman) bands, too. At first, we have to do it all if we want best outcome possible. And even when we can afford to have an assistant, sometimes things have to be done after hours or at a time when that person is sick, on vacation, or busy with something else. When you have "Whatever-It-Takes" attitude, you don't question it, you don't whine, and you don't put it off; you just do it. Successful people have "whatever-it-takes" attitude because they are more interested in long-term gain than short-term pain. So get out there and do whatever it takes to be successful. And you will be.

you have to do, but if you don't do it you don't have to answer to anyone. Sometimes things can slip if you don't have to explain why. Sounds kind of silly doesn't it? If you have to do something, just do it. Right? Wrong. It can be very difficult to do what you have to do, especially if it's something you don't like to do or if you just don't feel like it. And if there is no one to answer to, it's just too easy to let things slip. I know I often have that problem, and it helps to have someone to answer to if you get lazy. The trick is to find someone who you can work with that will help keep you on track. It doesn't have to be a professional person; ideally, it can be someone else with a home-based business that has same problem. Schedule a 10-minute phone call once a week so you can check up on each other. It's amazing how much of an incentive that can be! And, there is always added benefit of being able to bounce ideas off of each other, network, and learn from each other's experiences.Running a home-based business is a dream come true for many, but as with most things in life there are trade-offs. You don't have to be alone if you don't want to be. So don't.
