But making it in most of these businesses takes time and effort …. Sometimes a LOT of time. The upside is that the skills can be learned, and the business models themselves are very attractively leveraged. There is a ton of good information available, which I won’t repeat here. What I will offer is this: First, follow your passion. If you really enjoy coin collecting, or playing bridge, or designing toys, consider restructuring your hobby as a business or otherwise converting your passion to an activity that will make money. Ask Tiger Woods: there’s nothing wrong with making money doing something you thoroughly enjoy, and especially if you’re good at it.
Second, home-based businesses are about people and personal development. Products are secondary. They’re important, but a business that is built on product quality and neglects networking, people skills, and personal development has a very good chance of crashing. There remains a huge number of people who start home-based businesses and fail, while others who offer the same products from the same company with the same compensation plan are extremely successful.
This isn’t hard to figure out: In the first case, attitude, lack of people skills (and possibly lack of business skills such as cash control) caused failure. Quite possibly, the “entrepreneur” still had an employee mindset. In the second case, there was growth, integrity, and a sincere desire to serve. Think of the people you know who are involved in home-based businesses. Some you would like to do business with, and some you wouldn’t.
I believe that everyone should start a home-based business because the enterprise itself makes people into better people. It makes parents into better parents. It breaks the employee/slavery/someone-will-take-care-of-me, “victim” mindset and replaces it with confidence an d independence. I honestly believe it’s the best thing for people, and the best thing for the country.
There are probably a thousand different opportunities out there, with new ones appearing literally every day. Each has something to offer that will enrich the world. So once you have your “employment” on an even keel, get into a home-based business. Many can be started for less than a hundred bucks (and if a hundred bucks is a problem, that should tell you that what you’re doing isn’t working). We’re not talking franchises that may cost a hundred thousand, but an opportunity that literally anyone can afford. Live on purpose! Don’t let your life just be something that happened to you. Make a difference. Since you design your own life anyway, make it a masterpiece.
