Well, obviously there is no such thing as "the best home based business" - otherwise everybody would be doing it! There is only such a thing as "which is best home based business for YOU".

The next question I get asked frequently is : What kind of business can I start? Where can I get business ideas from? And this really amazes me because everyone already has a business idea in themselves, they just need to realize it!

I think problem mainly is that people have a hard time believing in themselves, and they don't think that what they have to offer is anything worth while. How do I know that? I used to be one of those people

So, my first piece of advice to anyone who wants to start a home business is this: work on yourself and your attitude first. If you don't believe in yourself, you are never going to be successful. There are loads of excellent self improvement books and articles on Internet - read some of them and take it from there. You have to develop a Millionaire Mindset first before you can become a millionaire!

The greatest obstacle to success is firstly, your own mindset, secondly, fact that most people want success to happen overnight. If it does not happen right away, they give up and tell themselves that they just cannot do it! Successful people never give up - they just try a different approach.

So, second piece of advice to you would be: have patience in building your business. Success will come if you will let it.

So, with right mindset, what work at home business can you start? My suggestion would be to start with something that you love doing, and expanding on that. If you don't choose something that you are passionate about, you will be tempted to give up when going gets a bit rough.

Make a list of things that you are passionate about. It could be anything, from reading to raising koy fish. What do you really like doing? What do you spend most of your time on in your spare hours? Take one thing that your most passionate about, read widely about your subject and educate yourself about it thoroughly, follow a course if necessary, then build your home business around that.

With any business venture, whether online or offline, it is important that you find someone who has traveled same road you plan to travel and they are willing to share their experiences candidly and honestly. You want someone who has YOUR best interests in mind - not just THEIR wallet.

If you're like most you will come across a lot of so-called "gurus" and "experts" claiming to have all answers. However,what I have discovered is that many are scam artists looking to make a buck off of unsuspecting newcomers to this business. They will make wild and crazy claims about how you will become rich overnight if you buy their product, their service, their tool.

You've heard typical claims like, "Buy my book today and you will have $1 million dollars in your account tomorrow!"

Let me say this before I move on. You have heard it before and it is helpful to hear it again.

"If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is."

So you may ask, "So what do I do? How can I tell difference? Who do I trust?"
