Anyone can start a legitimate home based business, but not everyone is willing to do what it takes to have a successful home business. A successful home online business entrepreneur, you must first possess or create within themselves these key elements:
1. A Vision: Solomon (the wises man who ever lived) said, "Where there is no vision, the people perish" (Proverbs 29:18). If you have no goal or vision of what you want to achieve from a home business you will likely not follow through and see your business become a success. You must envision yourself as successful already - it called the winners mind set and it is the first attribute needed for any successful entrepreneur.
Your vision must include your "WHY" - Why are you wanting to start an online business? The answer must go beyond merely to make more money, pay off debts, have a bigger house, or dive a fancy car. Think of it this way - If all your debt, were paid off and you did not have to punch a time clock anymore, and money was no object - how would you like to spend the rest of you life? What would be the most valuable thing to you if you had true financial freedom? Once you decide what this is for you, and then write it down on paper, put in a place where you will see it every day. From there create a vision in your minds eye of enjoying your "WHY" This will set you on the path to fulfilling you vision of being successful.
2. Determination - It must be understood that anything worth having requires hard work and determination to achieved or get what you desire, otherwise you will not truly appreciate whatever are trying you get.
It is recorded that Jesus set his face link a flint to go in to Jerusalem to face the crucifixion, and in another place it says that he did this for the joy that was to be gained after enduring the cross.
To enjoy the financial freedom that is possible from a home based business, you must be set in your mind to go do what is necessary accomplish your goal, and be determined to work hard and not to let anything or anyone try to stop you from reaching that goal.
You must realize that many scoffers (aka: friends or family who do not believe it is possible to make money form home) will say that it is just a pipe-dream to own your own business and be independent and financially free. The fact is the one who fail or those who never try, or those who try, but have no real desire to follow through - they have no vision so when things get tough they quite. Any one who has a vision of working from home, and who sets their face like flint towards that goal can in fact enjoy the rewards of their labor in do season, but you must have determination to succeed. There is in this business a delayed gratification - it takes time to grow a business and that is why the next element is so vital.
3. Faith - If you don't believe that it's POSSIBLE for you to have a successful home based business or make your living from home, you won't. It's that simple. There is a natural law of sowing and reaping. If you sow good seed in fertile ground, you will in time reap the fruit of your labor. The good seed in this case is quality affiliate opportunities.
