Perhaps you’re flirting with the idea to leave your job and start your own business, and if your anything like me you would have investigated all sorts of opportunities. I did for months. I looked at franchise businesses and spoke to people who had them. I came to the conclusion that I wasn’t interested in buying myself a job, so I kept looking. I came across different home based businesses, some of them promising immediate wealth without effort and because there were so many of them, I became quite skeptical, but because I was so dissatisfied with my job and life at the time, I kept wading through. I knew I would find the perfect opportunity.As I researched home based businesses, I also researched people who are successful entrepreneurs, I wanted to know what they did to become successful and this is what I found.1. Successful people model other successful people.What this means, is that when you want to do something very well, you do the exact same thing as someone else who already does it well. For example, if you wanted to be a better golfer, then you would study someone like Tiger Woods, and copy what he does. This is what the most successful entrepreneurs do. They don’t reinvent the wheel, they follow proven successful steps, to the tee. Reputable Home based businesses are a perfect way to model success. A good home business will have everything in place for you to follow, step by step, designed by successful people.2. Successful people consistently step out of their comfort zone.The thing is, everyone experiences fear when they are faced with doing something that is out of their norm. And entrepreneurs that run home based business’s are no exception. Successful people, push through that fear and step outside their comfort zone, with their arms wide open to welcome all opportunities.Staying in your comfort zone, prevents you from changing. You have to change to grow. If you want to attract wealth and prosperity to yourself and your home based business then you have to put yourself out there and change how you do things, otherwise your life will stay the same.3. Successful people don’t quit.You’ve probably heard the story of Colonel Sanders. He heard over a thousand no’s before someone said yes to his idea about franchising his chicken. When something doesn’t work, a person with a success mindset, doesn’t look at it as a failure. Instead it becomes a lesson, a way of not doing something. When a successful home based business owner hears “no”, they say “ok, Next!” Successful people keep momentum, they don’t stop to wallow, they keep their goals clear and defined.4. Successful people set goals.Goal setting is a very important part of success. If you don’t have the goal clear in your mind, then how do you know what you’re aiming for?When I became serious about changing my life, I wrote down what it was I wanted. eg: more time, more money, world travel, success, to help other people. It was only when I committed these things to paper that I found that I was noticing opportunities. It’s like I made some kind of contract with myself. It wasn’t long before I found the right opportunity for me.Home based business is a great vehicle for you to create an extra income, or to create wealth. The beauty of it is that it will be whatever you want it to be. If you’re prepared to follow a step by step proven plan, designed and used by successful entrepreneurs and if you’re willing to step out of your comfort zone, then a home based business could lead you to success. You do have to be prepared to put effort in and work your business as you would a business with a shop front, so discipline is necessary for success.
