Mom are you ready to start a business from HOME?

Are you really ready? Just surfing the Internet I ran across an old website that I used to read when I worked from home with DFI and Coastal Travel. It's interesting how things change over time but basic principles stay the same. Below follows an article that is just common sense but definitely a guide written from a mom that applies to so many more than her.

It has been my experience that looking for a good home business online can be frustrating, challenging and down right discouraging. We hope that these companies will do what they say and say what they do, but time after time and scam after scam we are sorely disappointed. Legitimate companies do exist but how do we find them and what do we look for?

Here are some tips to get you started on the right path.

1. Estimate: How much time, money and effort are you willing to invest into starting an online home business.

2. Evaluate: Find the "niche" business that's right for you. Write down favorite past times, hobbies, and personal interests and evaluate which niche would you enjoy doing as a home business and which one is most profitable and marketable. We all want to make money online but statistics show that more people with an online business succeed doing a business they love, enjoy or have a passion for.

3. Educate: Like any business starting out, education is the key. Familiarize yourself with your particular "niche" online business, and invest in "how-to products, software and learn as much as you can by taking advantage of the many FREE advice columns, online classes, forums, articles and blogs that can help educate you in starting your home business and marketing your business online.

4. Embark: This is just the beginning; as you take the steps and follow the advice given from various resources and put them into practice, you will be well on your way to having a legitimate and profitable home business. Remember that Rome wasn't built in a day!

Working from home is one of the best experiances of my life. It's a shame that so many people that do look to work from home are not ready to give it the respect it deserves. If you are working from home remember it should not be easy, it should only be worth it!
