Starting A Home Business - Part 1

Starting  a Home Business takes time & most of all dedication. you are no longer an employee, or a business owner with a multitude of employees to keep your business & you on track. you are now commencing a Home Business, you will have distraction & mini mental battles to keep you focused & on track.

For all of you jumping in to your own Home Business, in your own Home Business, Or even considering generating a Business From Home, Then a fine grand congratulations goes out to all of you.

From my personal experiences jogging a business from home took more mental power of  staying focused on my Income Producing Activities (IPA). I quickly hit a brick wall with that. I spent time organizing my files, cleaning my table, updating website pages, looking at reports in my accounting application, etc… I know many of you are going to say ‘But Roger a quantity of these things are going to need to get done’. My answer is simple & quick. Yes! All these other things still need to get done, but if a home business does not generate any income from it’s activities, How long do you think you’ll be in business for?

I started applying ‘Getting Things Done’ processes. Getting Things Done action management system created by David Allen. You can read David’s book: Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity

This comes back to Income Producing Activities. For this first step - Try to truly identify what your Income Producing Activities are. Do not let fear or anything stop you.

I read the book & implemented the processes. Did it help? Not as nice as I was hoping. However it did help a bit of getting things organized.

Leadership Exposed

Leadership is a quality that has over time challenged many people, governments, religions, etc…

Why is it such a challenge anyway? Why not live your lives everyday as a leader, not just at the office but in every part of your life.

The Comfort Zone

Mentally we travel through out the day wanting to stay in our comfort zone. We all know however that deep down in our minds that the ‘comfort zone’ is a place of minimal advancement and bordem. A unique opportunity or proposition will show up in our lives and we then end up analyzing it with the same technique that we have become so comfortable in using, making it the decision the same old way.

A Decision - Simply

Over the past few months I have been struggling with a decision with my home business. Over all it is an easy decision to make but I seem to have some issiues in my own mind about some of the elements of this decision. A decision is something very easy to make or to even not make.
