Crucial Findings After Looking Back Again On My First Year Having A Home-Business

October 14, 2014 sarah Uncategorized

For reasons that escape me now, I kept kind of a diary during my first full year of working at a home business. It was nothing close to being a total daily diary, but was more of a collection of scribbles about things that I felt were deserving of note at the time. Since quite a bit of time has passed since then, I determined to revisit these notes.

In no special order, these are some of the things that I had made note of.

Selecting the path…in the beginning, my fervour to locate an opportunity like the one mentioned in this Local Mobile Monopoly review was high ( maybe too high? ) and I was chasing off on a couple of different work-at-home business opportunities at the same time ( exhibiting the ‘dog in a beef market” syndrome, I suspect ) and not focusing my efforts enough to be successful at any single one of them. I ultimately reigned myself in and targeted on a single work at home business proposition.

In other notes I find reference to emotional and / or mental issues that I experienced and are doubtless standard for the general public when starting a home business. When working at home an individual can, at times , experience a feeling of isolation which is perhaps brought on by the lack of interplay of a work force environment.

There were also times of doubt in the early going…did I choose one of the good home based business ideas?..am I doing the correct things to develop my business?..when will I start to make a profit?, and so on .

Plenty of the entries in my supposed diary had to do with the archetypal ‘two steps forward and one step backward” thing and the ever-looming temptation to become daunted. Though I did not appreciate it at the time, it’s now apparent that as long as you’ve more steps forward than backward you’ll ultimately get ahead! Isn’t hindsight glorious?

Other entries reflect the indisputable fact that relatively minor events can appear enormous in the beginning stages of developing a work at home business and can really contribute to an emotional roller coaster ride. For instance, if you’re just starting out and you have 2 clients / clients and you lose one…that’s a 50% drop! But if you fast-forward in time to the point at which you have hundreds of buyers / clients and you lose one…that’s merely a mere fragment of 1%! Same event, just at a different point.

looking backwards on it now, some of the stuff I recorded now appears humorous, but I’m fairly confident that was not right at the time I made the notations.

/ clients, steps forward,
