With companies like Mary Kay, Vi and Empower Network endlessly promoting the notion of being able to make money online from home, more and more people are trying to become their own boss. However, today we'll show you why the world of online business is a little bit trickier than it initially presents itself.
Over 10,000 people decide to get involved in the home based business world every single month, a statistic which has grown steadily over the last five years. To it's credit the home business industry remained one of the few industries which were unaffected by the recent recession.
However, there is also a negative side. Most of the folks who try their hand at becoming an entrepreneur don't reach the levels of success they expected to achieve. In fact, over 90% of them don't achieve any success at all. Why is that?
For most people it comes down to having a false expectation of what running an online business actually involves. If you buy into everything you read on the internet, it's easy to fool yourself that you are going to be able to establish an easy secondary income with minimal effort. Sadly, that situation occurs quite a lot in this industry.
Before you attempt to become your own boss you should look at three things:
1. Do you actually want to be self employed, or are you merely looking for a quick financial solution?
2. Do you have the time in your schedule to work on building your business in your spare time? Success takes time, so you'll need to do something each day to build your business alongside what you currently do for a living if you want to reach the stage where you can do this full-time.
3. Have you found an affiliate plan or home business you genuinely love or is it just about income potential?
Too many people believe that online success comes from finding the right business or joining a company at the right time. It doesn't. Around 90% of being your own boss is mental, it comes down to the mindset and drive of the individual person. Take five minutes right now and answer the 3 questions above. The answers will help you to determine how successful you will be in becoming your own boss.
Look at question number one. This is a big concern in the MLM and affiliate marketing industry at the moment. So many people jump into online programs believing they have stumbled across a legitimate get rich quick scheme, only to discover that the reality doesn't play out to their false expectations. The industry doesn't help potential customers, of course, often billing itself as an easy solution to financial troubles.
Being self employed is a tough job and it takes a certain type of personality to be able to deal with the pressures which come along with it. Don't fool yourself into believing you are going to be sitting on a beach in Barbados while money rolls in through your computer, because you'll hold yourself back. In order to reach success, just like in the real world, you will have to be working on your business every single day.
Another issue is the time commitment. Again, the industry can sometimes be quite misleading when it comes to the level of dedication one must have in order to succeed. If you adopt the same type of work ethic required to run a business in the high street, then you are on the right track. On the other hand, if you are looking for something where you can merely log into your business for 5 minutes every day and expect to see a great financial return then you'll be sorely disappointed.
The final question is one which will help you to decide which opportunity, if any, is best for you. Most people get involved in home based businesses because they like the idea of doing something they enjoy for a living. So it's amazing how many people then choose to work with programs and companies that they have very little interest in, other than the potential earnings of it's affiliate program.
There are so many businesses to choose from on the internet, there is literally something for everyone. From Empower Network to Avon, Mary to Dynamic Digital Enterprise and more, every possible niche has options if you are trying to make money online. The part most people overlook, sadly, is taking the time at the beginning to ensure they make the best choice for the right reasons. []
