Home Based Business:  Internet Marketing, Can You Be Successful?

By:  John Washington

Everyone has a desire for financial freedom. If you are like me you have done all the things you have been told to try and create that financial independence.   Here is the blueprint we've all been told to follow since high school:

• Go to school and work hard.
• Develop good habits.
• Get a job in the real world.
• Keep improving in your job and through your hard work, hopefully your boss will give you a raise.
• If you are talented and play the political games correctly you will keep moving up the corporate ladder and other people will determine your value to the company and decide what you are worth to the company.
• As you move up the corporate ladder you will be given more money and responsibility and you will have less and less time for the things that are truly important. i.e. Your family and your health.
• You will do this for your whole adult life, and through proper investing, you will hopefully retire at 65 and be able to live out your final 20+ years. Hopefully you have not missed too many little league games and dance recitals that you are kids had along the way.

Obviously the above plan works really well for corporate executives. From a financial perspective these folks do much better than most. However, most of those captains of industry trade off financial success for their health and family life. In addition, unless you are in a particular career where you have direct control of your earnings, you really have to rely that other people will recognize your value to the company and give you a raise. As you move up though, you are making trade offs with your time and family usually suffers.

So the question is how can we all achieve financial success and independence without the tradeoff of spending less time with our family?   Is there a way to do this without having to rely on other people to recognize your value, without having to worry about whether your company will have a lay off, or if your corporate executives are perpetuating an accounting fraud and your retirement savings evaporates in the blink of an eye?

The answer is, yes. There is absolutely a way to create a home based business and be successful. Ways that I would say 99% of people are capable of achieving. But first you have to decide. You have to really decide and get determined that you are ready to take control of your life and your financial independence and build a home based business. You need to believe that the only thing preventing you from this is yourself and then commit yourself to success. Once you make the commitment that you and you alone CAN create financial independence for yourself with a home based business you will achieve it. 

Isaac Newton's first law of motion is an object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. This law of motion also applies to human behavior. Once you have become tired of having others dictate your worth, and made the commitment to do something about it (an object in motion) then you need to take action immediately. If you wait, you become an object at rest and you tend to stay at rest and nothing changes. Procrastination and fear will cripple you.   Take action.
