Work at Home Success

When I think of people looking to work at home I typically think about their actual desires to do so. from my experience, I've found that many individuals tell you they want to work at home, but many have no idea what it takes to make that transition. So I have to ask the question, "Do they really have the desire, drive and fortitude to do what it takes to work from home?"

Desire alone will not get the job done. I can desire all day long that I want to be a professional football player, golfer, or tennis player, but if I do not put forth the effort, drive myself to be the best, and keep going when the muscles are aching, I will never make it.

Desire is more than wanting something; it's the will to do what it takes to become what you desire. And that's no different with a work at home business. If you want to become successful, with a work at home business, you have to have what it takes to overcome the pain and suffering when things are not going as planned.

Too often people quit before their, once sought after, desire fizzles out. Why? Fortitude! The willingness to stay the course when things get really tough; the guts to hang in even though others are telling you it's time to get a job; and the courage to continue moving towards your goals when the money is not coming in as expected. That's what fortitude is all about.

Another thing that comes to my mind is discipline! Do you have the discipline to be able to work from home? It's so easy to get distracted by all the things that need to be done around the house. However, to become successful, one has to have the discipline to avoid those distractions and stay focused on the task at hand. Now I'm not saying there aren't important household tasks that need to be taken care of, because all of us have them. And I know there are certain chores that need to be done on a daily basis.

What I'm talking about is the work that needs to be done to build your business. You need to be focused on that and that only, like calling leads, making sales calls, giving business presentations, and helping others in your organization. Unless you're an extraordinary multi-tasker, all distractions must be eliminated. Working to build your home business is the key, busy work does not count.

This holds true for any type of work at home business, including Mary Kay, Tupperware, Arbonne, Amway, TriVita, MonaVie, Send Out Cards, Herbalife, Melaleuca, or the like. Building one of these businesses does not happen overnight, and it's certainly not going to happen by NOT dong the work.

If you have the desire, drive and fortitude, you can build a successful work at home business. However, staying the course, and avoiding distractions is a point of paramount significance.
