It’s been said that up to 97% of all home businesses end in failure.
Failure in this sense does not mean bankruptcy, rather, it tells a story of how most of us jump into a home business project, only to quit a month or two down the line. In my opinion, this failure to persist in your home business is the result of failing to join the right home business opportunity.
A good small business to start from home should represent a balance between your income potential, personal interests, and cash available for investment.
If you have limited funds available for startup costs, or do not have a background in business management or startups, I highly recommend you explore the multi-level marketing business opportunities first.
I like to take a no-holds-barred approach to business. That means when I see an opportunity, and decide it offers a low risk and high payoff potential, I jump in. I've been burned a few times in my over-zealousness, but an occasional failure is part of the game. Over the years I've learned you either play the game, and accept the risks (it helps to understand the risks going in), or you don't play. In my opinion, life is too short to waste time on the sidelines. I rode the bench in high school football and hated every minute of it. The publication you now hold is an expression of my "play the game" business philosophy. Be a player, not a spectator.
Most of what I've learned about business I learned on the streets, playing the game, getting knocked down a few times, and getting back up in time for the next play. During the past 12 years I have built and managed several successful companies using a technique of (1) educating myself about a business opportunity, (2) diving in with massive action and learning from hands-on experience, and (3) using this knowledge and new found experience to gain insight into how to play the game better, and how to adapt my behavior to find either a profit in the business, or minimize my losses.
Throughout the trials and joys of business ownership, I have learned there is one constant in life: nothing stays the same. Change is everywhere. Be flexible. Treat every circumstance as a learning opportunity, and never rest on yesterday's successes; for tomorrow is another day.
In the end, don't let the words "he/she had the potential to achieve great things" be a part of your epitaph. The words "had" and "potential" are clues to a life full of promise never realized.
Woody Allen once said, "eighty percent of success is showing up." You have to show up. You have to be willing to take the plunge. You have to do the things other people refuse to do. You have to persevere in the face of adversity. And, you have to believe in yourself, no matter what others may say and think about you.
Fortunately, through the sheer beauty of the network marketing concept, you can take this plunge into the business world with minimal financial risk.
