What's Your Reason Why?

It's very easy to go through life day in and out not quite sure WHY it is your doing something. In fact until you have that reaosn WHY, you are never going to change.

Yt is the reason WHY that will change our habits, Why we quit smoking or eating fatty foods, go to the gym or start a home based business. It is the reason WHY which will fill your desire for success.

What is your reason WHY? When you realise WHY you will change.

Why A Home Based Business?

A home based business or working part time or as a hobby in a home based business makes a lot of sense to many people. Today there is very little certainty about what will take place in the future OTHER than what you put in place yourself.

The people who are financially secure in the world and retire with money to spend, enjoy their last 15 - 25 years rather than worrying. ALL have 1 thing in common. THEY PLANNED and THEY ACTED on their plans well before reaching that age of 65.

The positives of a home based business is a list something like this;
- No office rental or purchase costs
- Lower overheads
- No travel to and from work
- Close to family or loved ones
- Work the hours required rather than having hours set for you
- Being your own boss
- Controlling your own destiny

A simple list, BUT most people could relate to something on that list. Being your own boss is fine if you know what you are doing and how do it. Not many people that have their own business have any sort of formal training in marketing, sales or running a business and therefore they either need to spend a lot of time in training courses or they end up failing. This is the biggest negative of a home business.

Lets look more specifically at a distribution or product brokerage home based business in which the owner sells or distributes products from point A to B. The advantages are that the business owner doesn't need to have the stock, they just get the product shipped from A to the end consumer. The owner also doesn't need large spaces or offices, they don't need large amounts of money to get started. These all seem pretty good positives and certainly makes things easier to get started and start making an extra income.

Still the biggest problem lies in being trainned and understanding how to run a business. There are some great organisations and individuals that help solve this problem. When I hear someone say they were in a home based business but it didn't do very well and know they've quit, it is often due to the fact that they we never taught, trained or helped along the way and therefore didn't know what to do next.

If this is you or if you have never looked into a home based business, casually, part time or full time it might just be the right time to take a look at how you could plan for your future and secure a bigger paycheck per week.

Till next time happy hunting!!
