Working From Home On Your Online Business Requires Discipline And Structure. Is That You?

You've read the advertisements, you've downloaded the brochures

, you've related to the success stories and you want the lifestyle.

Sounds so wonderful and it can be this way, but only if you approach your venture in the right way and with the right mindset from the outset.

As the saying goes "the only place that success comes before work is in the dictionary"

Working from home on your online business, making money on whichever venture you choose, can really be rewarding but it must be treated like a business.

Massive Action equals massive Results - 80% activity will not yield 80% of the potential - more like 30%. Work your business like a proper business - you will get great results.

Again, have a plan to achieve a certain amount of work over a sustained period of time. A 12 Week Plan is recommended with one week in each 12 being dedicated to planning and measuring. This is short enough to give clarity and focus and long enough to allow you to actually achieve.

Give your plan to someone who can hold you accountable, someone who will not allow you to make excuses, because you will make them. Starting any business online or offline requires tremendous focus and sacrifice especially from the outset.

Thats why a home based franchise carries so much appeal. People are attracted by the systems that it can offer.

The franchise model can have a positive impact in that it does provide structure and in some cases discipline.

How many home working franchises are available that truly stand up to the test of time? Not many. Do plenty of research. Like a property search - Look at 100, offer on 10 and buy 1. Every time.

Its not enough to tell yourself that you are working from home. Those that "care" most about you need to be told as well or they will use up your business time in their down time.

Coffee mornings are a no go until your business is working without you.

Read the blogs of people starting up their own business ventures. So much time is wasted on unnecessary activities. When starting your online business, make sure that you are focussed all the time on sales related activities during the working day.

Keep a log of your time in your business each and every day - be honest with it. You will find that the actual time that you spend doing real constructive work on your business will reflect your progress.
