Do You Know Who You Are?Written by Geoffrey Faivre-Malloy
A close friend of mine is a coach and has a phrase she uses quite frequently - "Be, Do, Have." As Jeanne Sharbuno puts it, you need to do it in this order for you to have success in your life.In fact, if you go in this order you'll have success from inside out. It is a type of success that is transformational. So I started thinking other day - what is it that most people who are creating a home based business do? Why do they create a home based business? Some of common reasons are: •Work at home •Time Flexibility •Tired of Rat Race •Tired of Delivering Products •etc. But what many of us fail to do is look at what we want to be before looking at what we're going to do and what we're going to have.

Starting A Home Based Business; Dealing With The Yo-Yo Effect
Written by Kirk Bannerman
The emotional aspects of starting a home business can have you experiencing high highs and low lows (the yo-yo effect). In addition to immediate luxuries of being your own boss, setting your own working hours, and avoiding a stressful commute, there are also significant things on other side of ledger...starting and building a home business is not just an automatic trip to promised land. The need for self discipline is important...since you don’t have a boss and a place to report for work, it is now up to you to schedule your time and perform productive tasks on your own. Set actual work hours. Decide what hours you are going to work each day and stick to it as much as possible. This is one of beautiful things about a home based business...you get to make this choice based upon your own personal situation for that particular day. Make "to do" lists for each day. Then, as you complete items, check them off list. You can transfer anything you don't get done on a particular day to next days list and make some notation so that you can see that it is a carryover from previous day...however, remain constantly aware of procrastination trap which leads you to keep putting things off until tomorrow. Hopefully, this will help you to stay organized and on task and allow you to make some real progress in developing your home based business. In early going, one of most difficult things about developing a new home based business is dealing with emotional roller coaster that can result from highs (successes) and lows (temporary setbacks) you are almost certain to experience. Once you have done research and decided on a particular home based business opportunity, you really need to focus on PERSISTENCE and realize that any real business will not just automatically become successful in days or weeks...you should be prepared to give it your best effort for at least 6 to 12 months in order to begin to build a solid income base.
