Then, one day, it's like an Angel comes down and says, "Ok you have proven yourself; now you will succeed.” BAM, just like that, you start earning enough to put a little away, pay off debt, take a vacation, or reinvest into your business.

That is when it really gets exciting!! You have now learned enough to start teaching others and you can now apply your knowledge to find more ways to earn. Your business grows more all time, increasing your income everyday. You can now quit your day job to work at home full time. Soon you will be financially secure.

It can be rough to start a home business and jump onto work at home wagon. Many people give up without ever really giving it a true effort. In order to succeed you need to: 1) keep learning 2) work hard 3) develop your mind and skills 4) ask questions 5) apply your knowledge

Find a mentor and copy what they do, but add your own twist to it. Visit forums to learn from others that are successful. Do something constructive and worthwhile with your home business every day and you will reap rewards soon.

Remember there are no get rich quick opportunities and you can’t be lazy just because you work at home. Being in business for yourself means working very hard, especially for first year or two. It sure beats alternative, doesn’t it?

5.Luck Luck? Is that it, then? The other four items are in my control. I have desire, I have a plan, I can get knowledge, I am prepared to work hard. But luck? What can I do about that?

Actually quite a lot. Luck is really wrong word, but it is what people use. It is what other people must have had when they succeed. It is what unsuccessful people think they never have.

But you can make your own ‘luck’. Successful people have often failed many times before they have their ‘lucky break’. But they have that burning desire and they have pick themselves up and start again. They redraw their plans and set out once again. They start again with a little bit more knowledge than they had before. And they work hard to succeed this time.

Substitute word ‘resiliance’ for word ‘luck’ and you are much nearer truth. It is abiliity to hang on in there and stay with it when things go wrong.

So follow your desire, make your plans, keep learning, and work hard. You can succeed. And......Good luck!
