Most of us have had the desire to have our own home based business. There are advantages of working from home like saving on gas and avoiding traffic jams, not having to listen to some grouchy boss giving you a hard time because he had a bad night at home. Each of us have a bit different take on this subject, however the basis for a successful home based business opportunity is the same for all of us. We want to talk today about some guidelines that will help with some questions you may have on how this all works.
You must be a self starter and be able to control your time. Without time management system it is next to impossible to succeed in any home based business. To begin with you may have to sit down every morning and physically make a list of duties you need to get done. Once you get the list made, then put those chores in a priority format.
I try to put my chores in three different categories. First thing every morning I have at least 30 minutes of devotional reading. This clears my mind from all the mundane things in life. Never forget your spiritual values and beliefs. Then comes the things I need to devote to the family. Don't squeeze the family out trying to start your new venture. You need to devote a given amount of time to the promotion of your new business. Your normal job requires at least 8 hours of commitment to the job. You may have to devote a bit more time in the beginning of this venture, however, don't forget about yourself. Now would be a good time to position these duties in priority in your list you created earlier.
I prefer to get my emails out of the way first. There will some items in the email that will need to be taken care of rather quickly. Put those chores in your list. Once you include these things in your list, then put your list in order with the highest priorities forst to the lowest priorities. Now within this list you may want to put the most time consuming chore first and get it out of the way while your energy levels are still high. I like to write any article the first thing in the morning before all the distraction of the day takes all my attention. I try to get all the critical items out of the way before lunch if possible.
Many of our task can be scheduled either daily, weekly or monthly. Once you identify your tasks, then set your priorities.
When setting up your personal priority schedule be very realistic in your commitments. Give yourself plenty of time to complete your duties and give yourself some extra time for any distractions that may occur. Try to take a short break after each chore, grab a cup of coffee and let your mind relax and re-coup from the concentration pressures you may have developed from your previous chores.
Don't procrastinate about getting a particular chore done. The self motivation and the discipline we talked about earlier in this article is definitely important here. There are some chores that you may be able to incorporate with another chore within a timed frame you've set up...That's OK...Here you may want to drink a cup of coffee at the same time you're proofing an article you've written. Use your own good judgement. The main thing here is to set yourself on your schedule and follow that regiment until you are forced to change it. The main point here is to get in a routine and then re-assess your chores as needed.
Working in your own home based business has so many advantages and benefits. Once you experience the peace of mind and accomplishment with your new venture, you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner. Good luck to you in your home based business venture.
