Let me start off by saying that we are all individuals and there is no one business model that is right for everybody. So the question is, how can we determine what is right for us? Is there some kind of process that we can go through that will make the decision making a little easier? Well, there are many processes we can go through. The one I am going to go over is the one I personally used and recommend. You might find it useful yourself. At the very least, give it a shot and see what you come up with. What I think is the best thing to start off doing is to sit down and decide what kind of person you are. Are you a type A or type B personality? See, certain personality types handle stress better than others. And let me tell you, running a home business can be very stressful, especially when things don't go as smoothly as we would like. So if you're the type of person who has trouble dealing with a lot of stress, you might want to consider a more simple business model...something that can be done with just a couple hours of work a day. After you decide what type of person you are, the next step is to look at your skills. Are you a skilled person? Can you type? Do you have PC skills? Do you have writing skills? The more skills you have, the more complex a business model you can choose comfortably. That doesn't mean that you can't choose a complex model if you don't know how to do anything business or technologically related. There is always the option of outsourcing all the work that has to be done...which brings us to the next step in the process. How much money do you have to invest in your business, both initially and on a monthly basis? If you are dirt poor, this is going to limit you as far as what you can do. However, if you have a lot of money that you can invest, this opens up more opportunities. The reason I stress this step is because you don't want to get yourself into something that you won't be able to sustain until you're in profit because the initial expense is too high. This only puts more pressure on your and if you're not good at dealing with that pressure (we're back to the personality types) then you're going to run into problems. Finally, you want to look at how much time you have to invest in your business. Are you already working a full time job or are you unemployed? Obviously, the more time you have to work on your business, the quicker you can turn a profit. It took me over 5 months to turn a profit when I first started, but that's more because I simply didn't know what I was doing. I have since learned from all my mistakes which is why I am sharing this little blueprint with you today. Running a business is work, just like anything else. The difference is that you have nobody to answer to but yourself. And that makes it unique. There is no boss to fall back on and nobody else to blame. In other words, it's a lonely place. And it's not for everybody. To YOUR Success, Steven Wagenheim Looking for a solid 4 step plan to building your own business...FREE?
