Every day people are bombarded with a new computer work from home opportunity. Every day people start a new home business. More often than not most of these people will fail to become a success or make any money with their opportunity. I know because I have been one of them. I had tried and failed. Again. Again. Again. And again. In fact, I could have been the poster child of what a failed work at home entrepreneur looked like. And while others are telling you what it takes to become a success, let me mention three things not to do to be unsuccessful.
Watch that Dollar- There are two things about money I would like to say. Understand how you will get paid and spend it wisely on your computer work from home opportunity. Do you get paid a percentage of a sale or a flat dollar amount? If it is an affiliate program, how many levels down do you get paid? It makes no sense to do all this hard work without knowing how you make your money. As far as spending money goes, be prepared to invest in your computer work at home opportunity but spend it wisely. Find out if the return on investment is worth it. I fell in love with pay per click advertising and nearly went broke because I didn't understand it well enough before I got started. Simply investigate everything before you put your money into it.
Be Willing to Adapt, Learn, and Change- Like any other business, the home based business world will change over time. New technology, new products, and new customer bases may cause you to have to learn new things and change the way you do business. Don't be so set in your ways, like I was, that you are unwilling to change and adapt to these new things. Be teachable and willing to learn. Be willing to grow as an in individual as your business is growing.
Don't Go It Alone- The biggest mistake I have learned over the years and the biggest mistake I have made is trying to go it alone. When I first got started with a computer work from opportunity, I was completely lost. I tried to learn by "Googling" everything. That was a big mistake. I found myself going in five directions at once and not getting anything accomplished. Recently, I got hooked with a coaching group, which is the best thing I have ever done for myself. Choosing a mentor or coach is beyond the scope of this article but once you find one you feel comfortable with, the advantages are numerous. They will be successful people who have most likely traveled the path you are trying to go. They have made mistakes you are trying to avoid and they can tell you what works. The group I am involved with even introduces me to new products and gives me discounts on new products that are of interest to me. So, I strongly urge anyone who is involved in working at home to find a mentor or coach to help guide them down the path to success.
When you get started with a computer work from home opportunity, you will find many tips to success. But these three-Watch that Dollar, Be Willing to Adapt, Learn, and Change, and Don't Go it Alone are ones to keep in mind to avoid being unsuccessful.
