When you wake up in the morning are you excited to start the new day? Do you find a sense of excitement and joy with your work at home business? Or is it the opposite—do you feel tired of it, or even afraid of it?
They always say don’t mix business and pleasure, but in my opinion those dichotomies have to fuse together when you work from home.
Majority of people fall out of love with their work from home opportunity after 7 months. Many break up from the business long before then.
For some, expectations are too high and dedication is too low. But even those that work meticulously at their work at home business are not “in love” with it. It gives them an income, freedom but not a strong sense of pleasure.
When you first start to work from home, there is a thrill that electrifies you to. This is because it’s new, fresh and exciting. You’re hoping this opportunity will be the one. You’re excited about doing something interesting within your own home. You like the idea of the business and perhaps the business itself. But after a couple months you start to notice those brilliant sparks fade. You’re efforts aren’t panning out and you‘re losing your sense of motivation.
A few more months later and you’re browsing for another opportunity, starting a new blog, or looking in your local paper to go back to working outside the home. It’s over.
How do people so quickly go from “This is awesome,” to “You’re annoying and boring me?”
One of the reasons is people don’t take the time to choose a business that will in fact give them pleasure. They go for any niche, get excited about the hype on the sales page, and hope for the best.
They don’t carefully consider is this something I want to do, be known for, gives me satisfaction.
Apparently, only 20 percent of work at homers are satisfied with their business. The rest are still searching for “the one.”
But becoming part of the 20 percent isn’t a difficult task. It involves asking yourself one question.
“Would I do this if no one was willing to pay me?”
If you are willing to dedicate and commit to something when you’re not getting any rewards, you’re most likely going to do it if there is an incentive. People who do well, love what they do. They take pride in their work and they have a passion for it. This means they already know a little something about it and are always eager to learn more.
They also give themselves time to succeed. If you’re breaking up with your business after a few months you’ll never get to know what it’s capable of. The average business takes 3 years before it is a true success. Give yourself a good amount of time to really make things work out with your business.
So, is your work at home business giving you pleasure or a headache?
