7 Ways To Begin a Stay at Home Business Online

Wow, Springtime! Don't you just love the season? There is just something about the rebirth this season brings to life. It is an exciting season and can be an exciting season if you operate a stay at home business online.

In this article I'm going to give you tips to help you capitalize on the season. If you really get after it, your online stay at home business can blossom this year. Together we can make this season the best time of your life.

Tip 1: Let go of all past disappointments

There is nothing worse for your future than allowing past failures to hold you back. Anyone that owns a successful online stay at home business will tell you that you must treat each day like a new opportunity. Everyone has disappointments in their business. These disappointments should not be considered set backs they are nothing more than a part of the process. If you want to experience true success in your online home business, you have got to let it go and go grow!

Remember this … "The past has no future but YOU do!"

Tip 2: Make Your Goals Realistic

This seems like common sense but is often forgotten. I have been mentoring new online home business owners for years and nothing is more frustrating than hearing the new consultant or prospective consultant that they are going to hit a homerun and make $100,000 in the next few months. Let's be realistic here. Sure if you bought a McDonalds or any other high volume business you can bring in an immediate 6 or 7 figures monthly…so what!? How many years will you still be in debt?

Remember that your stay at home online business did NOT require a bank loan to get started. Any successful business owner will tell you to look at your ROI (return on investment). If you invest $1000 and earn $2000 in your first few weeks, that's a HUGE 100% ROI.

If you set goals that are too big you're setting yourself up to fail. I am not saying that you should set little tiny insignificant goals either. Think about what you really want out of your part time stay at home business, lock arms with your mentor and go get it done.

Tip 3: Make a Blueprint for Building Your Online Stay at Home Business

Just like any home or building to achieve long term success in your online home business, you must have a solid foundation. Without a strong foundation your stay at home business can crash at anytime.

Start by talking with your home business success coach and figure out how many hours a week you are willing to commit to the business. Find out what you are going to do to generate leads. How much will you be marketing versus how long will you be training? When making your blueprint you'll have to answer these questions and commit to the time required to succeed.

The reason we build a home based business is to create a legacy income to pass on to future generations. Now I know you want your grandchildren and great grand children to tell good stories about you and the legacy you left them. I implore you to give them a rock solid foundation so that your stay at home online business will survive any storm that may come.

Tip 4: Never Make Excuses

"You can make money or you can make excuses but you can't make both!"

When you are your own boss and operating your stay at home business online it is so easy to make excuses. There is no one looking over your shoulder. There is no one making you work. Also, there is no one to blame but yourself.

One excuse that even I often make is organizing my office and convincing myself that I'm being productive. This is just and excuse not to do the things necessary to move your business forward.

Successful Stay at Home Business Owners don't make excuses.

I highly suggest that you closely monitor your own activity and commit this to memory: "You can make money or you can make excuses but you can't make both!"

Tip 5: Expect to Stumble

We all make mistakes and we should embrace each mistake as a learning opportunity. It is inevitable that you're going to stumble just expect it and when you fall just get back up. When operating any business there will be times when you don't make the best decision or maybe you mess up when talking to a prospect.

Operating a business online especially a stay at home business is not easy. Simple yes but easy no! When you don't have a boss and don't have co-workers sitting next to you it can be easy to get derailed. Learn to laugh off the little mistakes. If you make a big mistake and feel totally derailed, IMMEDIATELY pick up the phone and call your online home business success mentor. Undoubtedly your mentor has experienced the same mistake in their own business and they will know what to say to get you back on track.

If you allow yourself to stay derailed you will lose any momentum that you had and you will have to fight like crazy to get that momentum back.

Tip 6: Find an Accountability Partner

Accountability is critical. The most successful stay at home business owners all have someone keeping them accountable. Most people will believe that they will be accountable to themselves and that's good however having another stay at home business owner to speak to each day will keep you both grounded and moving forward.

There's nothing wrong with a little friendly competition. While you and your accountability partner are keeping each other on track add in a daily and weekly contest between the two of you. This can be how many conversations you will have, how many live presentations you make, or in the case of online business, how many website visits you generate.

Working a stay at home business can be a lonely occupation but once you find a partner you will add success to your business and have more fun doing it.

Tip 7: Celebrate the Small Victories

Most real online home based businesses will offer fast bonuses. To the new home business owner these provide quick cash flow and help to reinforce a positive mindset. These bonuses are far more valuable than the dollar amount they represent. Each bonus is a new milestone that should be celebrated.

Each bonus check also represents a new step up the ladder of success. We know that a $1000 check is not going to change your life but celebrate it as if it's a $100,000 bonus check because if you can learn to bottle the excitement you'll be able to tell that story over and over again.

Most prospects that want to be a stay at home business owner can see themselves making $1000 bonus but it's rare that they can imagine $100,000. These prospects don't want to hear about your massive 6 or 7 figure story, they need to hear the $1000 victory.

Never forget about the little steps along the way that allow your to reach your big goals!
