Crucial Findings After Looking Back Again On My Initial 12 Months Having A Home-Business
For reasons that elude me now, I kept sort of a diary during my first complete year of working at a home based business. It was nothing close to being a total daily diary, but was more of a collection of scribbles about things that I felt were deserving of note at the time. Since rather a lot of time has passed since that time, i decided to revisit these notes.
In no special order, these are some of the things which I had made note of.
Choosing the path…in the start, my keenness for my home wealth system was very high ( perhaps too high? ) and I was chasing off on several different home-based business opportunities at the same time ( exhibiting the ‘dog in a meat market” syndrome, I suspect ) and not targeting my efforts enough to be successful at any single one of them. I ultimately reigned myself in and concentrated on a single work at home business venture.
In other notes I find reference to emotional and / or psychological issues that I experienced and are probably typical for most of the people when starting a home business. When working from home a person can, on occasion experience a sense of isolation which is probably brought on by the absence of interplay of a work force environment.
There were also times of doubt in the early going…did I pick the best home based business idea?..am I doing the correct things to develop my business?..when will I begin making a profit?, and the like.
Many of the entries in my so-called diary had to do with the hackneyed ‘two steps forward and one step backward” thing and the ever-looming temptation to become deterred. Though I didn’t appreciate it at the time, it’s now plain that so long as you have more steps forward than backward you will ultimately get in front! Isn’t hindsight wonderful?
Other entries reflect the indisputable fact that relatively minor events can seem huge in the early stages of developing a work from home business and can really make a contribution to an emotional roller coaster ride. For example, if you’re just starting out and you have two shoppers / clients and you lose one…that’s a 50% drop! But if you fast-forward in time to the point at which you have tons of customers / clients and you lose one…that’s merely a mere fragment of one percent! Same event, just at a different point.
looking back on it now, some of the stuff I recorded now seems funny, but I’m fairly certain that was not the case at the time I made the notations.
