So You Want To Become Your Own Boss

By Howe Russell


During the recession most folks, at some point, will take a look online to find a possible way to increase their monthly income. This week we look at the proven steps to becoming your own boss, working from home and avoiding the mistakes others make when trying to generate extra funds online.

There are probably more businesses out there offering the chance to make money online than there are people in your town or city, and more sprout up every single day. And while there are many different approaches to achieving success there are a few very easy steps to put into place first which will help you get started.

To become your own boss, or make money from home, you need to follow some proven rules...

* Don't rush into choosing a home business opportunity.

Choosing a business is very difficult. Mainly because there's a million businesses to choose from. You should have a clear idea of what you want from your business. Don't fall into the common trap of being attracted into multiple home businesses. Many people do this, and then struggle to make any of them work effectively enough. You can add more businesses later on, but don't try to run before you can walk.

* Be honest with yourself.

Be honest here. When imagining making money online the common image we see is a guy sat on a beach seemingly getting paid for doing nothing, right? It's nothing like that in reality. That's what causes a lot of people to fail. If you want to become your own boss in any walk of life you need to put the work in. Just because it's online doesn't mean it's easy money. When building our five figure income in GDI, for example, we simply watched where so many others were going wrong and sidestepped their mistakes.

* Using your products is key to success.

You cannot go around telling others to join your business because it provides an excellent service if you don't actually use it yourself. This may seem like common sense, but so many people don't do this. They're attracted to their business purely by it's affiliate plan. When your business isn't providing any real value with it's product you leave your members with no other reason to stay than making money.

* Set yourself a long term goal.

The majority of people who fail to make money online don't fail.... they quit. Maybe they have false conceptions of how it is all going to be easy money just because it's online, maybe they were misled by false claims of getting rich for doing nothing or having some 'Guru' do all the work for them just for joining their team. Whatever reason, they failed because they never took their business seriously at all. When you are trying to change your financial life you should take it seriously and set aside a reasonable amount of time to do it. You can't expect to get long term results in two months.

These 4 rules will help you make money online without a doubt. The very building blocks of any business, online or offline, they are things which can be implemented into your business immediately.
