| Many people do not succeed in a home based | | | | under confident people. There are devils advocate and |
| business. Why? They feel like it was a bad company, | | | | silver linings people. There are risk takers and those |
| bad product or product line, too much competition, or | | | | that play it safe. So what should we aspire to be? |
| simply they were not good salespeople. Though all of | | | | You answer this for yourself, but, I can assure you that |
| these may have been true, that is not why they failed! | | | | if you can't find positives in any given situation, owning |
| They failed because they did not have the dedication | | | | a business will be very difficult for you. Being a |
| and commitment to succeed. Also, anyone starting a | | | | problem solver is a learned talent. It is not something |
| small home business needs to understand that they | | | | you are simply born with. Through personal growth, |
| have to sell themselves first before they can sell | | | | you will amaze yourself with what you will be able to |
| something else! | | | | accomplish. The reason I am saying all of this is |
| When a person gets excited about an idea, company, | | | | because to be successful never means how much |
| or product and begins starting a small home business | | | | money you earn or how famous you are! That is |
| they have enthusiasm. More than likely, the person or | | | | meerly status. If you want to be rich, take a look |
| company that convinced them, had them believing it | | | | around you and take notice of everything you have |
| was very easy to do. This is not a falsehood or | | | | that money can not buy. Take a few moments and |
| misleading statement, it is simply an incomplete | | | | try to remember as many times as you can when |
| statement. There will always be a learning curve that | | | | your heart wanted to leap from your chest because |
| comes with anything new you venture into. Starting a | | | | you helped another in some way and truely felt their |
| small home business is no exception. To complete the | | | | appreciation. If you will learn to approach all aspects of |
| statement would be to say, 'This is a very easy | | | | your life, business included, by helping others succeed |

| have been told all your life that if you want something | | | | picture. Greed and doing whatever it takes to get |
| bad enough you will achieve it! This could not be more | | | | ahead has become almost acceptable. You know |

| So what does dedication and commitment really | | | | the money and material items they were after, they |
| mean? It means that you set daily, weekly, monthly, | | | | still are not happy or satisfied. I wonder why! |
| and yearly goals. You write them down and post them | | | | So if you are looking to find security, extra money, |
| where you can see them through out the day. You | | | | college money or anything else you feel you need, |
| work on them every day, whether it means personal | | | | remember that you have to have dedication and |
| knowledge of your business, personal growth, learning | | | | commitment to accomplish your dreams. Helping |
| your specific system for success, tapping into your | | | | others do the same is my short cut in allowing this to |
