Tips to Guarantee Work-At-Home Success
© 2005 Leslie Truex

If its true that 80 to 90% of businesses fail, then what is
the 10 to 20% doing to get it right? I have met many people
who blame everything from the work-at-home program, their
spouse, the economy and the weather for a failed business.
But success is not a matter of luck or circumstance. There
is a difference between successful home workers and those
who never make it.

People who are successfully working at home….

1) Choose their work-at-home opportunity wisely. People who
work at home DO NOT stuff envelopes, assemble things,
process email or "get paid to" read ads. None have signed-up
and gotten paid from spillover. Successful home workers do
real work whether in a job or home business. They researched
the companies and verified claims before sending any money.
They are not swayed by easy money or crazy claims. They
fully understand what is required to be successful in their
work-at-home venture.

2) Are prepared to work hard and steady. It's an odd thing
that "working at home" is not actually equated with work.
Signing up and sending $20 a month to an Internet scheme
will not make you rich. Neither will stuffing envelopes or
gluing earrings. While many home workers may not work more
hours than a traditional job (although many do), they
definitely put more mental energy into their work. There is
no just showing up and getting paid like at a job. Further
they are clear on "busy" work versus "effective" work. They
don't play office but instead prioritize their tasks in
terms of what will lead to income the fastest.

3) Understand the payoff may be delayed. There are people in
the world who set out to work at home and within 30 days are
earning great incomes. But for most people, developing a
regular income can take anywhere from 6 months to 2 years.
Successful home workers prepare their schedules and finances
in such as way as to survive until their venture makes
money. They also develop a very strong "why", a reason to
want to be successful so that they will be motivated to
continue the effort for free until the money comes.

4) Keep in mind the alternative to success. While keeping an
eye on the prize (what will be won get when success is
achieved), remembering what happens in failure can be
motivating too. Having a JOB, sending kids to daycare, long
commutes, no time for friends, family or personal interests
can be a driving force to keep trying as well.

5) Stay away from the naysayers. Successful people never
listen to anyone who doesn't already have what they want. I
don't know why people listen to others who as unhappy and
broke as they are. First of all, most naysayers don't know
what they are talking about. Second, they don't want you to
succeed because it will make them look bad. They'd rather
live in their settled lives of quiet desperation wishing for
luck or the lottery than step out and do something
challenging to change it. Successful people stick with other
successful people or at least with those who are supportive
to their efforts.

6) Are willing to pay the price. I get email all the time
from people who really want to work at home. They send me a
long list of what they won't do without ever mentioning what
they can do. Success cannot be achieved without work and
even discomfort. You may have to learn to talk to people or
other tasks that may be hard. The price is also paid by
giving up some personal time such as leisure reading or
golf. Successful people give up their leisure activities
until they have achieved success. Then they spend the
majority of their time on leisure activities. In essence, to
be successful, you need to be willing to sacrifice and
attempt challenging tasks now so that you can have all the
time and fun you want later.

7) Make a plan. Successful people don't rely on chance or
luck to get them to their goal. They know exactly where they
want to be in terms of money amount and the date on which
they will get it. They are clear each time they sit down to
work on their venture what tasks need to be done to move
them towards their goal. Not only are plans a requirement
but they have the additional benefit of making your journey
to your goal shorter and faster.

8) Never give up. What if Edison gave up after 100 or 1000
or 2999 tries in creating the light bulb? What if Lincoln
gave up after is first business failed, or his second. Or
when he lost the congressional elections…twice? How many
people before Edison did quit when trying to invent the
light bulb? Or how many dirt poor, not formally educated,
gangly men quit their dreams before Lincoln (or since then
for that matter). We think successful people are smarter or
luckier than everyone else when the truth is, they just
never quit trying. They learn from every mistake and drive
through every challenge and disappointment. Success is
actually achieved in that moment you try again instead of
walking away.

I truly believe everyone who wants to work at home can. But
not everyone is willing to do what it takes. Usually these
people blame the business opportunities, the scammers, the
economy, other people, the weather…etc. But there are
hundreds of thousands of stories about average men and women
who made the decision to work-at-home and with a never give
up attitude and a willingness to pay the price, are living a
life of their creation. How about you? You can have that
two. All you need to do is follow the above eight tips.
