Discover The Ingredients For Success

By C R BOLDEN

One major difference between a corporate 9 to 5 job and a career in a home based business is you. Your success or failure, your self esteem, your personal self worth and your level of income all depend on your performance.

If you fail, it's all on your shoulders. In the end, there is no one to blame but you. Therefore, before embarking on any career path, inventory your personal assets to better determine your chances at being successful. Lets review some challenging ingredients for success:

- Do you have the capital required to start a brand new business and to provide for you and your family for 6 months or more during the start-up phase? Do you have the drive and mental toughness that it requires to be independent and fully on your own?

- Do you have the computer skills necessary to run the business, keep records, track marketing campaigns and organize leads and prospects? Do you have the networking skills and time necessary to join fraternal, business, and trade organizations and develop referral relationships?

- Do you have a good command of the English language with diction that is easily understood by all? Do you have good telephone skills that can assist you in your marketing efforts?

- Do you enjoy being the center of attention and a problem solver? Do you have the capabilities to operate your business during normal 9 to 5 operating hours? Do you understand direct marketing and have you any experience in telephone prospecting and cold call canvassing?

- Do you have clear cut financial and career goals? Do you have a space available to create a home office work area or the excess capital for commercial executive office space?

What you also have to remember is while certain areas can be practiced from the comfort of your home, the growing career working in business tends to be one which requires a more professional exposure. This highly lucrative profession do offers a career that can be matched by a few others.
