Starting a Home Based Business Online? Don't Make the Same Mistakes I Did

Starting a Home Based Business Online? Don't Make the Same Mistakes I Did

You must be very excited about starting your own home based business online. I don't blame you one bit. I was too (and still am for that matter).

Let's face it, there are HUGE benefits for finding the ultimate home business online. It's fun and exciting and has the potential for incredible rewards.

So what mistakes did I make that you should avoid?

I knew I wanted to work from home and online. I was already in network marketing and although it has its own stumbling blocks, I knew I could incorporate it with the Internet...I just didn't know how.I wanted my network marketing business to be a key factor in starting a home based business online for years to come.

So what I did was jump in with both feet, not knowing where to start, signing up for everything I came across...costing me a fortune, I might add.

I quickly became "information overloaded"! I was almost incapacitated by it all. I was seeing so much and reading so much I didn't have a clue where to begin. I was almost paralyzed into inactivity because I was so overloaded.

When you're just starting with your home based business online, it's easy to get swallowed up in information, gurus, and "secrets" to make you rich overnight. They make it all sound so good, you actually start to drool at the possibilities.

Suddenly, you don't know what direction to go in. One expert is telling you one thing and sending you down one path, and then another is sending you in a different one. Your head is spinning and you feel enormously frustrated. I know I did. I spent more than a few days in tears over it all.

Part of the dilemma with your home based business online is not knowing what business will be most profitable in the first place, and then how on earth do you set yourself up to get started? There are any number of possibilities that can bring you success.

If you try to go in both directions at the same time, you might just find yourself wanting to quit because it all seems too hard or because you believe at this point that they're all scams.

This couldn't be further from the truth. Are there online business scams? You bet there are. Do you have to be careful? You bet you do.

Don't believe the hype.

Sometimes it can be difficult to separate hype from good 'ole heart felt enthusiasm. After awhile you begin to see the difference.

One person will be telling you how he made a million dollars over the weekend while he was asleep and another is telling you he made thousands overnight...and you can too if you just buy his ebook.

I spent a lot of money buying different programs and ebooks. Some are very good and well worth it and others aren't.

Is there money to be made with your home based business online? You bet there is and quite a bit.

Will it happen overnight? Absolutely NOT!

Do you have to actually work for your success? Absolutely!

What I want you to take away from this is to be realistic about what you're looking for. Understand that there are many legitimate home based online business methods you can tap into and you can achieve enormous success.

Choose a mentor and a direction and stay focused on that path. Don't be distracted and go off on a tangent (I did) because you'll lose direction and momentum and therefore time and money.Trust yourself and in your abilities to make this a success, no matter what kind of internet business you want to explore.

"Keep Your Head Down and Your Bum UP"! In other words, work hard and put the time, money and effort in to succeed.

Learn from the mistakes of others! Why re-invent the wheel?

Starting a home based online business is not easy but it can be simple. It takes time, money and effort to succeed but well worth it in the end. Having said that, it is far less expensive to build your business this way than in traditional businesses.

Remember that you and you alone are responsible for your success or failure.

No one is going to build your business for you. BUT...you do not have to do it alone.For example,you can benefit from my successes and failures saving you time money in the process.

There are many FREE resources available which you should take advantage of because there is huge value in them. Ultimately, as you progress you will need to spend a small amount of money in your continued learning and developing but certainly the free resources are the place to start.

Be excited about your decision to start a home based business online. You have demonstrated entrepreneurial spirit.

Knowledge is the key and you have to start somewhere.

Don't get caught in information overload. Choose a mentor who you feel is credible and can help you find your feet in this business and then stay focused and don't get distracted. Keep you eyes on the end result.

Take advice and become a student for success.
