Imagine an entrepreneur who jumped out of bed this morning, ready and willing to work in a home based business. You can pretty much sit on the desk with the action plan for the day in one hand and a cup of tea and coffee in the other, totally focused on you to take another giant step towards your goal.
Alternatively, you found yourself taking the time to start, get distracted by the news, your emails, your conversations on Facebook and any other time of suction, non-productive activities? Let's be honest, it's not that easy to catch in the net of these acts often idle and worthless. We have all at one time or another, and probably found some legitimate (at least for us) an apology for our behavior.
Being an entrepreneur working from home has its challenges, some of you know and others can not. They face three hidden challenges that may impede or stand in the way of your success.
A hidden reason: Slipping into the Bane of Lone Wolf
Employers who operate solo homer soon realize that running your own business involves hard work. Much of this work appeared as the "dirty work", ie, sending packets, answering phones, websites now - all the things that someone else does when working for a large company.
This takes time, intimidating it can be frustrating. After all, you did your work, because you have the desire or passion, expertise, in particular line of work - not because we like to call FedEx or UPS to make a special pickup end of the day. CEO of a small home business can be very overwhelming when these matters, and most disturbing, and the real purpose of hanging up your shingle. It 'hard to believe how long it really wants to set up and organize the office.
Unfortunately, it comes with the territory, at least at first. All things are yours: - the functions of a professional and not so professional. There are office management, bookkeeping necessary, establish a web presence, marketing and promoting their services and much more. We expect growth of your business big enough to hire someone to take care of things every day. In the meantime, consider looking for some resources to outsource these tasks less time and cost that need attention.
Learning to manage and market your business requires a skill set that was probably not part of your curriculum. The key is to recognize that the resources are endless out there to help.
Hidden Cause 2: Finding the 25th hour
As you probably know that owning your own business spend a lot, many, many more hours than you have never been used to working in your cushy, comfortable 9-5 position, especially at first. You are your own worst oppressive and brutal slave-driver, expose yourself to more hours than you would ever have for someone else.
Home business entrepreneurs are known for crawling in the office long before the sun even thinks of growth, and remain there until the moon hanging high in the night sky.
Why? This passion to grow and expand your business is intoxicating and very addictive. Want to give your all.
But beware!
If you want to avoid burnout, fused partner yelling and walking the dog, recharge the batteries is a "must" practice what you need to start the day. Develop a regular "time out of the office" routine.
I want to start my day is a short yoga practice and meditation, and then every few hours I sit in front of my computer, and suddenly, if possible, take a short walk around the block.
If you ignore this sage advice, that burn a lot before getting what he wants.
Hidden Reason 3: Achieving success has a price
Entrepreneurs are successful because they are positioned as the expert in a particular market segment. This success comes with a price tag. The expert in any given place you need to know a little about your field. The responsibility is yours. When you say something about your industry, you better be 110% sure of the facts. Giving false information, experience and state decreases rapidly. Do not give your target market right to question and doubt their abilities.
Finally, to work for you in your home business can be very lonely. Leaving the companionship and support that has been in an office or a cat you had fun around the water source may not sound like much, but there will be some Wednesday evenings anyway annoying is the guy copying welcome interruption. Remember, everyone needs to peers and camaraderie. Be sure to see the people that respect you can exchange ideas out on a regular basis.
Being an entrepreneur can be very rewarding and has many specific benefits to determine their own schedule to control their own destiny. Embrace and enjoy!
