Chapter 1: Home Based Business Basics

Synopsis

The following are some points to consider before actually taking the

plunge into one’s own home business experience:

Page 7: Choosing Your Business

- 7 -

The Basics

Making sure there is a market for the intended home business feature

is important. There is little point of setting up a home business based

on a service or product that does not have a market as people are

generally not interested in what is being offered. Therefore some time

and effort should be exercised to ensure the intended elements are

marketable.

Consider the importance of having a separate space that is sole used

for the home business. Working within this designated space would

help the individual focus better and also keep boundaries evident for

others to be aware of. The mental and physical positive points to

having this designated space cannot be emphasized enough.

Investing in proper equipment for the home based business is also

another important factor to consider. Lacking in this area would only

end up costing the individual further when these interruptions add

cost to the overall business entity even before substantial profits are

evident.

From a legal point of view all the necessary documentation and

licensing regulations and requirements, should be adequately perused

and approved before embarking on the home business venture.

Nothing is worst than incurring the wrath of various governing

agencies when proper procedures have not been followed.

Chapter 2: Decide What Your Interests Are

Synopsis

Staring a home based business along the lines of the individual’s

interest is something to consider as it would be a huge contributing

factor to the eventual success of the business.

Page 9: Choosing Your Business

- 9 -

What Is It

Deciding to do something that one is good at or interested in

creates the ideal mindset that will help to keep the business afloat

if during difficult times and this is a very important motivating

factor for those going into this kind of business venture.

As there is really no one to spur the individual to press o, the

interests’ factor is what can ensure the desire to succeed stay

prevalent always.

When a home business is built around an individual’s interest

there is also the added advantage of the individual having the

necessary knowledge about the choice made that will help to steer

the business exercise in the right direction.

Going in blind will not be an issue, and good decisions can be

made simply based on the knowledge that comes from the interest

in that particular area.

Also in doing something that one enjoys and likes very much the

evidence in the quality of the work being produced will be very

visible.

When there is a level of excitement around the business

environment it can not only be a positive element but can also help

Page 10: Choosing Your Business

- 10 -

the create the ideal work mindset and physical conditioning that

dictates eventual success no matter what the challenges are.

Most people who venture into the home business based on their

interest have been statistically proven to be able to make a success

of the endeavor.

Making the experience come forth as pleasurable rather than just

“work” is often what keeps the individual able to come up with

further ideas that will also positively contribute to the innovation

of the business, thus keeping it relevant and vibrant at all times.

Page 11: Choosing Your Business

Chapter 3: Decide What Your Strengths Are

Synopsis

Being able to identify and tap into one’s strengths is a very positive

and advantageous thing to be able to do.

Page 12: Choosing Your Business

- 12 -

What’s Your Best Stuff

The energy one is able to harness from this is immeasurable and

often in the single most important factor that contributes to the

success of any endeavor undertaken.

Using these strengths to further develop one’s natural skills and

then leverage it to one’s benefits is also another advantage. The

individual will be able to eventually downplay or repair any

apparent weaknesses along the way.

Traditionally people often tend to focus on the negative elements

and in the process of this; they try to make the necessary

adjustments to combat this negativity.

However is doing so, there is the possibility of paying too much

attention to this and forgetting to tap into the positive elements

that are brought on by the thorough understanding of one’s

strengths.

Thus instead of harnessing and capitalizing on one’s strengths,

energy is being wasted on correcting weaknesses which will

eventually cause valuable time and resources to be wasted.

Capitalizing on one’s strengths will bring forth the highest

potential in the individual and offer the platforms to expand and

explore further avenues to shine and be productive.

Page 13: Choosing Your Business

- 13 -

Taking the time to actually explore the various interests that excite

the individual would be one way of specifically identifying the said

individual’s strengths.

This can be done in a number of ways such as observing what

excites the individual, what creates the willingness to extend help

even when the circumstances is deemed not likely to improve,

being able to identify what sort of activity will most likely attract

the interest and commitment of the individual, where and when

the individual is most likely to contribute mentally or physically

and any other such scenarios that would cause the individual to be

more approachable and more likely to be contributive.

Chapter 4: Decide On Your Financial Needs

Synopsis

There are several connective reasons as to why people venture into

starting up their own home based businesses. Amount the most

popular reasons is the interest in making some extra money. Money

making intentions for staring a home based business enterprise, is a

very effective and innovative way of applying one’s skills and

expertise to good use.

Page 15: Choosing Your Business

- 15 -

Money

For some this need may be a dominant factor in ensuring they have

the means to survive and life comfortable without having to resort to

negative resource like loan and such.

While for others it may simply a means of earning that extra cash to

create a comfortable earning base for the little enjoyments in life

outside the current necessary commitment brackets.

Either way starting a home business can cater comfortably to any

financial need if the necessary effort and commitment is evident.

Once the financial need is properly indentified the individual can

effectively work towards addressing and achieving this need.

The element of control is then in the hands of the individual and this

can be a very important motivation tool to tap into. The control factor

which lies in the hands of the individual will then dictate the type,

style, platform, dedication levels, and any other connective elements

to the revenue earning capacity of the business endeavor chosen.

This control element will also dictate the level of commitment the

individual is interested in investing into the business entity for the

desired achievement of the financial need first established.

If the financial need identified is significant, then it is more likely that

the individual will be more willing to go into the home based business

with an almost unwavering dedication to ensuring the success which

is needed to fulfill the financial need.

Page 16: Choosing Your Business

- 16 -

Having a clearly defined financial need will be instrumental in

dictating the eventual commitment levels willing to be invested in the

business entity.

Page 17: Choosing Your Business

- 17 -

Chapter 5: Decide If You Will Work Offline Or Online

Synopsis

There are several different options for an individual to choose from

today, when intending to venture into the home based business

exercise. However the type of business chosen will in some way create

the necessity to only use selected types that are most suited to the

particular choice made.

Page 18: Choosing Your Business

- 18 -

Which Way

Working online and working offline entails very different and often

conflicting elements. Therefore when deciding to chose either option

one should be well informed of the advantages and disadvantages of

both styles. The following are some points that could be enlightening:

Online businesses have the capacity to be limitless when it comes to

being able to reach the target audience anywhere and everywhere.

There are also no time constraints and this is of course convenient for

the merchant operating the business in one part of the world while

trying to reach a customer base in the other part of the world.

Online businesses also do not really require expensive advertising

campaigns and propaganda tactics as the various tools available on

the internet can be explored and exploited to ensure optimum

advertising opportunities at minimal or no costs at all.

In most cases online marketing styles do not require extensive office

space and a battalion of staff to go with it. A lot of the work can be

done electronically thus effectively saving time, space and manpower.

This of course is another cost effective contribution to the overall

business entity.

All of the above applies to the offline business in the opposite way.

Thus for some using the offline option may not be as viable as idea as

first perceived.

Page 19: Choosing Your Business

- 19 -

However there are some advantages to using the offline platform

which would be the very real feel of actually operating a business.

This visibility both for the individual and for those around can be a

very profound and domineering feature indeed.

Chapter 6: Research Companies That Fit Your Interests And Skills

Synopsis

In order to make the right choices when it comes to stating up a home

business endeavor one should first understand the market sentiments

and what and where there are companies that fit the interest and the

skill intended to be offered for services are located and what the

expectations are. This is critical to ensuring the elements that relate

to the interest and skill are well tapped into to bring forth optimum

results.

Page 21: Choosing Your Business

- 21 -

Check In To It

Perhaps among the first steps to be taken would be to analyze the

skills and interest of the individual and then using this to gauge the

lucrative aspect and contribution of the choices made.

By doing this it is hoped that the ideal match would be made to match

the skills and interest with the selected business endeavor for

successful results.

The likelihood of experiencing problems that would stall the business

will be much less if there are relevant skill to be tapped into whenever

the situation call for it.

To enhance the prospects of attracting the attention of organizations

which would be interested in using the expertise offered by the home

business entity, the individual would have to ensure the existing skills

are impressive and adequate enough to suit the company’s needs.

Keeping up to date within the particular field, would help the

individual better assess the current market trends, and thus be able to

identify areas where his or her particular skills would be needed and

appreciated.

As there are many companies now ready to outsource their work load,

being visible in providing the relevant skills needed by the company

Page 22: Choosing Your Business

- 22 -

would help the individual to attract contracts and other work

opportunities for the home business set up.

This visibility will also help to create a present for the business entity

for any future job opportunities.

Page 23: Choosing Your Business

Chapter 7: Financing For Start Up

Synopsis

Capital or lack thereof is always the most dominant issue when it

comes to financing start ups. There are several sources of getting this

financial assistance but most of the time it is not as easy to acquire

such financial assistance without the relevant skills to do so.

Raising capital is the most basic of all business activities that often

take up a huge amount of time and effort especially if the intended

business is home based in nature.

Page 24: Choosing Your Business

- 24 -

The Cash

Raising the desired capital can be done through several legally

acceptable channels, and choosing any one of the many available

sources, would help get the business started up quickly and

conveniently.

Being able to obtain and secure financing through various

monetary establishments such as banks, financial houses,

mortgages and many others is one option available for anyone

wanting to embark upon the home business experience.

However some of these institutions are be very demanding is

requesting the relevant accompanying documentation, skills,

knowledge and expertise be of a certain standard.

Families and friends are another good option to look into when

looking for financing for the home based business. These sources

have been a rather popular choice when it comes to getting help

without too much hassle which the bigger and more established

lending institutions seems to demand.

However, here too there maybe some points that one needs to

consider, so that there are no unwanted problems arising from this

arrangement.

Page 25: Choosing Your Business

- 25 -

Choosing the right person to approach for the financing help is

important and the best type would be one who is willing to invest

without actually wanting to take an active part in the daily running

of the business.

Whichever financial assistance is sought the individual should first

ensure that all the relevant preparations have been done in order

to be able to address any questions and queries that the potential

investor may ask.

Chapter 8: Managing Your New Company

Synopsis

There are several tried and true methods that can be successfully

adopted to ensure this positive end is guaranteed.

Page 27: Choosing Your Business

- 27 -

The Methods

The following are some elements to consider when embarking on the

task of managing a new company:

Leading the company in the direction of success should be a

dominant feature constantly at the forefront of any decision making

process.

Effective leadership even if it is to be applied to just the individual

itself should not be underestimated for its effectiveness. This

characteristic will be the overall deciding factor in the capable

running of the business entity.

Growing the business is another important element to consider right

from the start of the new business endeavor. Simply concentrating on

getting the business up and running is not nearly enough in the quest

to get it to the successful platform where revenue earnings are

phenomenal.

Having all the future plans well outlined and ready for

implementation at the right intervals would be beneficial especially

when time is of the essence. Planning such maneuvers only when

called for would be very unwise indeed.

Page 28: Choosing Your Business

- 28 -

Being prepared for all possible eventualities is also another good

point to consider. This will help to keep the new business on track as

opposed to having it fall apart at the first sign of a challenge.

The general structure of the business entity should be well thought

out and in place so that any positive additions can be considered

without too much fuss or disturbance to the original setup.

Within the managing plans for the new company there should also be

a format in place to the future expansion possibilities that would take

the business endeavor global. Being prepared to tap into the global

market should be included in the new business future plans.

Wrapping Up

Having a vision for the new business entity and wanting to achieve it

within a desired time frame is always a good place to start when

addressing the managing side of the said business. Hopefully this

book has given you a start.
