KEYS TO A SUCCESSFUL HOME BASED BUSINESS
You must treat your business like a REAL BUSINESS, because that's exactly what it is. I've seen many people who start out with their own business thinking it's going to be easy. Just 30 minutes a day and soon they'll be a millionaire. Well, that's not how it works.
Operating your own business, you are the CEO, the employee, etc... and most importantly, you, and SOLELY you are responsible for the success or failure of your business.
Work regular hours: I don't mean 9-5 either. Being self employed you can be flexible, but just make sure the work gets done. So if your realistic goal number of hours for your business is 30 per week, break it down to 6 per day, 5 days a week. For those that have trouble keeping track, you might even purchase a time clock and clock yourself in and out of work, just as you would at a regular job. This is a great way to stay on task and make sure you are getting things done.
Make a checklist: At the end of each day, make a checklist of what needs to be accomplished tomorrow. Check each item off your list as you complete them throughout the workday. Do this consistently and you'll be in great shape.
Focus on what's important: For example, if you design websites, and need to get a finished product to your client by the end of the week, don't spend the first three days trying to design a logo. Simply outsource this project. While the logo is outsourced, you can complete the rest of the site, and simply add the logo as a finishing touch.
I know it's tempting, but don't spend all day checking your email for new messages. This wastes so much valuable time. Instead, make a set time each day, a 1 hour block, to answer all emails.
Separate Personal/Business Expenses: This is an absolute must. Keep a separate checking account for your personal and business use.
Never purchase business products with your personal account, or vice versa. Always keep expenses separated, not only will this help you see how much money your business is really making, it'll make Uncle Sam happy too.
Keep Family and Friends In Line: Your family and friends must know that when you are home working, that's your business time. They can't call to chat, or stop by your house to visit. They must treat your time working at home, just as if you were working at a regular job. This will keep your productivity up.
