Leaving the corportae world for a home business is exciting.
Being one’s own boss and making one’s own decisions is a great feeling.
However, one still needs to have discilpine to be effective at being a home business boss. In my home business I have found at least two things that one must be persistnetly disciplined about in order to achieve success.First is the work schedule. A home business like any buisness requires work and often a lot of work. While it is true you do not have to get up at dayberak and put on a suit and tie to drive to work, one does need to set a work schedule and stick to it. I have set my schedule to work 8 to 5 Monday trhough Friday. I take an hour for lunch.
I require myself to work a minimum of forty hours a week for my home business.When I first started my home business it was fast to become distracted by things that need to be done aruond the house: laundry, dirty dishes, mowing the yard, etc. It is really important to traet the home business like a regular job and in reality it is a regular job, it just happens to be in the home.
If you were working for somebody else they would not tolerate you going home to clean dishes or mow the yard, so to be a disciplined home business boss and do not allow yourself to do things other than working on your home business.The second is in regards to interruptions. I have found it absolutely amazing that family and firends seem to guess that just cause you stay a home during the day that you have nothing else to do. When I first started working at home I was surprised at the many reqeusts my family and friends had of my time. My best advice, which was given to me by another home business worker, is, ‘If they are not on fire or if they are not bleeding they do not need your attention.” Now don’t take the statement literally but what it basically means is, unless it is a real emergency do not let your family and friends interrupt your work schedule.For those of you who already have your home business, you're aware of the many requests that family and friends will make such as fixing their sink, driving them to their airport or watching their kids while they go to the grocery store. If you're not already assertive, learn to be and learn quickly. Fortunately, I have had the assertiveness to say, “No.”If you spend your time being the “go-for” for your family and friends, your businses will fail. You are not at home to be at the beck and call for your family and friedns regardless of what they may guess. Let them know that. I stubbornly refuse to assist family and friends with tasks during the hours of 8 to 5, Monday through Friday.Being a dicsiplined home business boss a giant leap towards creating and maintaining a successful home business.
Remember that your home business is a real business. It is a real job. Most importantly, it is your livelihood.About The AuthorRothline Entertainment is an online catalog for computer and video games and pc software. http://www.Rothline.Com, http://stores.Ebay.Com/Rothline-Entertainment
