Times are slowly changing. Home based businesses are being started every day. But with that work at home attitude comes a reason. A reason why someone would choose to do this.

When I talk to a prospect on phone I try to find out why they want their own home based business. And usually answer is money.

But money is not a good enough answer. Sure, we all want more of it. But money alone is a poor motivator.

Why do you want more money? If you had more money what would you do with it? How would it improve your lifestyle?

Ask yourself why you want your own home based business. Why are you doing this? We all have our reasons. Many of them are different. Yet many are also very similar.

Maybe it`s freedom. The opportunity to travel. To just be your own boss. Or maybe you don`t really know.

If you don`t really know, or just need another reason to keep you going, try this. As you sit at your desk staring into your monitor, take a look at that child beside you. That precious child staring at you, as intensely as you stare at your computer.

And then ask yourself again, "Why are you doing this?"
