Starting a home based business is a huge decision so don't take it lightly. It's no different than starting any other small business as far as initial planning. For example, if you were going to open a conventional brick and mortar business, you would have to take into consideration several factors. Can you see yourself doing it every day? Does it reflect who you are? Do you have or can you learn the skills required? Can you stay in it for the long haul emotionally and financially? What type of profit can you expect? What is the profit/effort ratio? The list of things to look at up front is pretty lengthy.
When choosing a home based business, you have to know what to look for or you will set yourself up for failure. If you are reading this, you understand the power of the internet and how much potential it has. In home based businesses, it's all about leverage. Leverage relates to several things like money, time, people, experience and positioning.
If you have a lot of money, you can leverage it to accomplish tasks you do not want to do by paying someone or buying tools and materials. If you do not have a lot of money, you inevitably have to leverage your time to accomplish things that others get done with money. Of course, some time is always required regardless of money and some money is required regardless of time. Leveraging people and experience kinda' goes together. This is why network marketing is so popular in home based business because leveraging other people and their experience is part of the game. Getting involved in the right home based network marketing business is crucial to your success. Now positioning is very interesting and varies from business to business. You want to be positioned in the right market, at the right time and with the right leadership to guide you. In a nutshell, leverage can make you or break you.
