Over the next few posts I'm going to try to document what it takes to successfully start an online work from home business. For the past 4 years I have spent countless hours online looking for and researching what work from home opportunities are available. Guess what, if you can dream it, it's out there. There is everything from free work for home businesses to franchises that can be very costly and everything in between. Please be careful, there are many scammers out there trying to get your money.
I would like to start this series of articles talking about some ideas that are very important for success in a work from home business.
• Passion- Passion is the one ingredient that is necessary. Passion is the fuel that makes your engine go, it will sustain you when the road gets rough. Find something you love doing and go for it with the zest that your passion supplies you. It has been said “Do it for love not money”, the money will follow.
• Focus- Staying on task is important. Set goals with timeframes, print them out and post them next to your computer. Review them everyday. I like to set long term goals and then write down the steps to accomplish those goals. Each night before I go to bed I make a list of the things I’m going to accomplish the next day. This helps me stay focused and on track.
• Push- There is going to be doubt that will creep in as you go through the process of completing what you have set out to do. Maybe it is lack of knowledge or fear of the unknown, maybe it is lack of time or support. Whatever challenges that are in your way you must push through. Do not give up, success may be just around the corner.
• Serve- You must want to serve, by that I mean you will want your efforts to improve other peoples lives. Whether your work at home business sells products or information make certain that you are legitimately trying to better your buyers’ situation. Always act with integrity.
• Open Minded- Observe, listen, exchange ideas, be curious. It is important that you are open to communicating, sharing ideas etc. Join forums, ask questions, give responses, help and be helped.
• Diligent- Being diligent is the most important trait you will need to be successful. When times get tough or when you can’t find an answer, diligence will see you through. When the problem is solved the great feeling of accomplishment will fuel your passion and you are on your way.
Finding the right online home based business is not an easy undertaking, but if you possess some of the above attributes you have a great chance to succeed.

Getting Started with a Home Based Business on the Internet
There are many, many different ideas and approaches for creating a successful home based business on the internet. The market will never run out of new business ideas and ways to make money working from home. This can create a problem for the newbie. The fact that there are so many options out there creates many questions, of which one of the most important questions is, "Which of these are honest and legitimate opportunities?"
The only way to answer that question is to research, do your due diligence. It can be very time consuming to gather the information you will need to find a a legitimate home based business that can provide you with the necessary support and training you will need to be successful. Spending the time and doing the research will pay you dividends for the rest of your life. If you "look before you leap" you will increase your chances of success and reduce your chances of being scammed.
Starting a work at home business can be educational, fun, fulfilling, and exciting. It can also be time consuming, frustrating, and very overwhelming. Be careful, but don't be afraid. Ask questions, look for legitimacy. Once you have found a program that fits your needs and goals, research it. Google it, go to forums that specialize in that idea or niche. Communicate with those that are already successful, don't try to re-invent the wheel, duplicate what the successful have been doing.
Set Goals:
Spend some time thinking about what you want to accomplish and why. Do you want a hobby? Would you like to make some extra money? Do you want to be your own boss? Would you like more time for your family? Make certain that the opportunity you choose meets your long term goals and needs. Whatever your reason is, you must take the time to put your goals on paper. Goals should include what you want to achieve, how you want to achieve it, and time frames to accomplish those goals. Personally, I like to set long term goals and then layout series of steps (short term goals) to accomplish the goals I set.
Find a Niche:
As you do your search for a web based home business you will be subjected to hundreds maybe thousands of ideas and offers, many of which are scams. Please be careful and don't lose your focus. Finding your niche is important because it then narrows down the scope of your search. Finding a niche allows you to become an expert in your field, and in time you will become the "go to" person for that niche.
Find a Mentor:
It really helps if you have some help getting through the learning curve. This is important because trying to find your way all alone will almost always result in frustration and failure.
Strive for Success:
As you know there are many home based business ideas being offered some are free work from home businesses and some are not. Once you have made your decision you must be willing to put great effort into it. There is no get rich easy scheme out there, unless you win the lottery, of course the odds are at least 10 million to 1 on that happening. I like the idea that I have a 100% chance of success if I work hard,and apply what my teachers teach me.
