As much as a home based Internet business offers flexibility and great potential, there are a number of steps that one has to follow to ensure success. Indeed, it is this flexibility that can turn into a two-pronged snare. First of all, you will need great discipline by setting your time of work - and working. Working at home will make you face many distractions that must be dealt with accordingly. Manage your time well and let your family and friends know how and when to give you space to focus on your tasks.
It is thereafter that you will have quality time to spend with them joyfully. Secondly, you should avoid spreading yourself too thin. Do not try to do everything and grab every opportunity that knocks. You need to choose the few things you want to do and concentrate on accomplishing them with excellence.
Making a good business plan is a big first step. It is suicidal to venture out into any business without having a well thought out plan. You must ask yourself some pertinent questions such as the type of business you want to do, how you intend to carry it out, the necessary requirements, possible difficulties and how to solve them. However, if the plan remains on paper, nothing will be achieved. Take action. Start that business.
One of the first steps in achieving success is to choose a home-based business that you are not only familiar with but also interested in. And you have to be open to learn in order to keep abreast with current developments in that field. Learn the ropes and know how to get ahead and stay there. Remember that you are competing with other businesses all over the world.
Home businesses in India have opened a new scope of work for all Indians; people can work on their own time and convenience. And to start a home business you don’t need a huge investment.
You will need the endurance of termites in order to keep going even during times when the future looks bleak. This is one of the major reasons for choosing a field you have great interest in, for you will then have the motivation to carry on instead of getting discouraged. Turn every obstacle into an exciting challenge that offers you more ways of doing your business better and you will be happy when at last you look back and review your success. This will give you more confidence and determination to tackle any future problems - and you will have experience behind you.
Do not gear your business towards making it successful overnight. This may seem odd, but it is when you focus on fulfilling the needs of your customers well that your business will really flourish. Let your products or services help them better their lives and they will be glad to invest in them. Of course, you have to show them first how they will benefit. In other words, you must learn how to market yourself effectively. Which brings us to another point.
Let what you show your clients be consistent with the goods or services that you actually deliver. Otherwise they will not trust you next time even when you really have more to deliver.
With these actions, you will be in a position to make a success out of your initial plan.

Its all about chasing shadows.
By that I mean latching on to this or that latest, most innovative idea that some self styled money making guru has put out in the hope it’ll go viral and make them a lot of money off the backs of all the headless chickens who will follow them blindly down a blind alley. It’s a shame but a truism nonetheless that people will follow where someone they see as an expert leads. Even if they lead them to certain disaster, which is what most of the gurus tend to do to their flocks.
The trick is to recognize a shadow when you see it!
