Answer these questions first

It's time for a gut check . . .
So, you've had it. You're tired of working for someone else, punching the clock, and enduring the daily routine. Ask yourself, 'Do you have what it takes to work for yourself?'

Are you really ready to start a business or work from home?

Before you invest your time, effort, and money, take a few moments to answer the following questions. They'll help separate sound ideas from those with a high potential for failure. Remember that there are no 'best' reasons for starting a home-based business. But, it is important for you to understand what this new venture involves.

Ask yourself these questions about working from home:

• Can I successfully run a business from my home?
• Does my home have the space for a business?
• Can I switch from home responsibilities to business work and related tasks?
• Do I have the self-discipline to maintain schedules?
• Can I deal with the isolation of working from home?
• Am I a self-starter?

Working under the same roof that your family lives under is often not as easy as it seems. What is important is that you work in a professional environment. One suggestion is to set up a separate office in your home to create this professional environment for your business. Click here for more suggestions.

Now, ask yourself the following questions about your business:

• Can I identify and describe the business I plan on establishing?
• Can I identify my business' product or service?
• Is there a demand for my product or service?
• What advantages do I have over my competitors?
• Do I have the talent and expertise needed to compete successfully?
