Running a business either online or off is pretty much the same just without the overhead. Once you’ve done enough research to learn the IRS, and both State and Federal laws don’t care whether you have a brick and mortar business or work out of your house you are ready for the next step; do you really have what it takes to run one.
I’ve spoke to enough people about starting an online business to know many just don’t have what it takes to do it. Sorry but the first red lights that usually go up are the people who throw up their own road blocks. They listen to their friends and neighbors and believe there are too many draw backs to even start looking for opportunity. I would never depend on my friends for advice. It’s like going to your priest for legal advice!
Secondly I hear people say “The IRS doesn’t have anything about running your own business”. Or, “I need a school that will teach me how to run my own business”. Or they will ask, “Can you teach me how to run my own business”.
Anyone running their own business, except for a family owned business, or start working for a company, saving up the money and buying the business, does not ask anyone how to do this! Business owners look for their own answers, go to the right people to ask questions, but they never go to another person who runs a similar business and ask them how they do it! Business owners are far too busy running their own business to spend any time telling others how they do it.
People tend to throw up their own nonexistent road blocks. Once I hear someone doing this it doesn’t pay to waste my breath telling them how. There are never road blocks, only hurtles in business ownership. People are rarely held back for long by a hurtle if they’ve taken on the challenge to do anything they have a passion for.
A perfect example of this is online hackers. They love the road blocks set up to stop unauthorized access to, well, anything you can think of. Hackers love the challenge. Successful business’ look at hackers as people who do them the favor of showing where their weak points are and they in turn come up with safe guards against their weakness’.
No matter what business you run, on line or off, its not easy. If it were easy everyone would be running their own business. So every time you see an advertisement on an infomercial, online or on a telephone pole about the “Perfect business that’s easy and will give you an income you can live on”, you’ve got to ask yourself is; Why are these people trying to bring people to them? If they are that good they wouldn’t have to try getting members?
Once you think you can overcome these challenges without the help of others you will be well on your way to finding the right at home business that fits you.
