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.
