Becoming successful in the home based business industry will depend on how long you stay in the game before you decide to pack it in. Really think about that for a minute. Most who have packed it in before quit because they believed that success with a particular opportunity or the industry in general was “Not For Them”. This is just a very poor excuse or limiting belief.Most of the people who get involved in this industry are employees who are used to getting paid for their time with a steady pay check weekly or bi-weekly. In order for success to come to you, you will have to live in the ‘unknown’. Better yet, you will have to learn how to trust in the unknown.The problem with most people who quit is that the pain of waiting and not knowing when success was going to come greatly out weighed their desire. If your desire is strong enough in the first place, it will keep you focused long enough until success comes knocking on your door. It takes a lot of strength in order to become an entrepreneur. There is so much that you will have to learn and go through. Here are is a list of things that you will have to overcome in order to stay focused and not quit:1. Lose the Guilt:In order to build a business, you will have to spend time away from other activities and even family. This doesn’t mean to neglect your family. This means to schedule time for your business everyday. Most people that are building a home based business have full time jobs that are already taking time away from their family. You will have to stay focused on your goals long enough to start seeing results. Don’t feel guilty because in the end, your family will gain from your success. If you build your business for them more than for you, things will start to happen.2. Patience:Anything great does not happen overnight. Your success will take some time. Keep focused and remain patient. It will happen if you do one thing. “Don’t quit”.3. Consistency:Spend time everyday on income producing activities. What ever you do that actually moves you forward towards your goals like building traffic and leads, do more. What ever doesn’t make you money like checking your emails or playing FarmVille, do less.Not everyone can have success in this industry. However, everyone who holds their course will arrive at their destination. You will become successful if you do not quit.
