Over the next few posts I'm going to try to document what it takes to successfully start an online work from home business. For the past 4 years I have spent countless hours online looking for and researching what work from home opportunities are available. Guess what, if you can dream it, it's out there. There is everything from free work for home businesses to franchises that can be very costly and everything in between. Please be careful, there are many scammers out there trying to get your money.
I would like to start this series of articles talking about some ideas that are very important for success in a work from home business.

• Passion- Passion is the one ingredient that is necessary. Passion is the fuel that makes your engine go, it will sustain you when the road gets rough. Find something you love doing and go for it with the zest that your passion supplies you. It has been said “Do it for love not money”, the money will follow.

• Focus- Staying on task is important. Set goals with timeframes, print them out and post them next to your computer. Review them everyday. I like to set long term goals and then write down the steps to accomplish those goals. Each night before I go to bed I make a list of the things I’m going to accomplish the next day. This helps me stay focused and on track.

• Push- There is going to be doubt that will creep in as you go through the process of completing what you have set out to do. Maybe it is lack of knowledge or fear of the unknown, maybe it is lack of time or support. Whatever challenges that are in your way you must push through. Do not give up, success may be just around the corner.

• Serve- You must want to serve, by that I mean you will want your efforts to improve other peoples lives. Whether your work at home business sells products or information make certain that you are legitimately trying to better your buyers’ situation. Always act with integrity.

• Open Minded- Observe, listen, exchange ideas, be curious. It is important that you are open to communicating, sharing ideas etc. Join forums, ask questions, give responses, help and be helped.

• Diligent- Being diligent is the most important trait you will need to be successful. When times get tough or when you can’t find an answer, diligence will see you through. When the problem is solved the great feeling of accomplishment will fuel your passion and you are on your way.

Finding the right online home based business is not an easy undertaking, but if you possess some of the above attributes you have a great chance to succeed.
