Regardless of your career or goals in life, no one wakes up, gets out of bed, and says to themselves “I’m going to fail today!” It’s
same in business whether you’re a brick and mortar store or a home based business owner.I think what makes Home Business owners unique is their drive and desire. For any of us, there are certain things we need to evaluate prior to undertaking such an endeavor as home based business ownership. What do I want to accomplish, how will I accomplish this goal, what are demands I need to make upon my time to help me realize goals I’m laying down, and list goes on and on, but you get idea.
Something as basic as why do I want to go into business for myself needs to be addressed well in advance of any other considerations. In my life experience, I have never been one to cater to clichés or warm fuzzy catch-phrases so I won’t wow you with any of them here.. I stick to simple, real truths.
The truths are; know that you will fail but, also know enough to learn a lesson from it and chalk it up in win column as adding to your education. Success and failure are on EXACT same road – success is just a little farther down that same road!
Seriously, can you imagine where we would be if someone such as Bill Gates gave up after what had to be more than a few attempts! More seriously than that is where Bill Gates would be without contribution made by Benjamin Franklin or Thomas Edison! See how this comes full circle? Each thing dependent upon others successes AND failures.
A rock solid work ethic does not go unnoticed or unrewarded. There are dividends here that will provide for you many times over. Believe it or not but this is probably only business on planet where we can all compete on a level playing field. That should be as exciting to you as it is to me! Truly it can be an overwhelming prospect literally having world at your fingertips.
With each failure our knowledge grows, defeats are turned into victories; your self confidence grows as does your business and it goes on and on. There is no stopping that kind of momentum. When things do arise from time to time as they will, you will definitely be in a better position to handle these and they won’t seem so insurmountable as they once did.
