My previous article Work from Home: Real Money Advantages
explained some ways you actually save money and make more money
from home. Included were just a few non-money advantages. But
with this blessing comes responsibility. Yes, I said it,
responsibility. This comes with a burden of production and
action. Most capitalistic countries require some kind of
production in return for something of value. When you are on
your own, working from home these actions and production are left
solely on you.
You must do these actions in your own way. They are required in
order to work from home. They entail possibly hundreds of
smaller tasks and steps to complete. They almost never go away
and they are always there whether you like or not.
1. Self Starting Accountability. These means you must set a
schedule, do your next task and keep track of your progress.
This is so important. I keep an action journal and review it
regularly. No one, I mean No one is going to do it for you.
That's right, you'll go down with the ship and no one will say
a word.
2. Productive, organized work area. Mine, has two desks, two
phones, TV and great filing system. It's quiet when needed and
out of the way. I have two desks. One desk is closer to the
home action but used mainly for my researching, other computer
creative aspects and writing. The other is used for
communications, clearing my inbox paperwork, paying the bills,
analyzing financial statements etc.
3. Your product. This can be a service or real tangible goods
exchanged for money or service or other goods. This requires
research. This requires a self evaluation on your worth.
This requires some kind of system to sell it and deliver it.
4. Continuing education. When you work for yourself, you
actually can't afford to be without it. The newest
technologies. The newest systems. The best strategies. As you
seek information and current knowledge you will seek industry
expert professional opinions on the marketplace, future and
challenges. This keeps you ahead and profitable.
5. Planning, execution and strategy. Hopefully, number one on
this list can help the execution because you'll have a method of
accountability in place. Planning entails realistic short term
and long term goals. As well as, "to-do lists". Strategies can
be researched (see number four above) and purchased. They can
be self-formulated with enough knowledge but plenty of
information is available to self-starters wanting to do the
required actions.
6. Motivation. You must be motivated. This requires actions to
keep you motivated. Reminders to yourself about WHY you are
doing this. This isn't always money. In fact, some of the non-
money reasons for working from home can be used as motivators.
Actually, anything can be used for motivation. Big, small,
bigger, smaller, too fat, too thin, more money, more love, more
romance, more extravagance, less complicated, more complex, her
or him, good, or bad. All can be applied to "prod" yourself into
action. Even prisoners are motivated to dig their way out of
jail even it's against the law. But that motivation to "get out"
keeps them planning, scheduling, strategizing, and executing the
dig.
Believe it or not the above six required actions anyone with a
will can apply to success. It is true there are obstacles
hidden within all the steps. There are hundreds of smaller
actions within each. Some can be a big pain in the neck. But
they must be completed as part of the whole in order to keep
moving on, producing, delivering and making money all in the
comfort of your home.
I'm going on my eighth year working from home. As I get good
information, good education and apply solid principles I see
great results.
I'm running an experiment on the newest information marketing
website turnkey system. The system advertised the typical
promises: "help you make money from home with very little money,
time and offers plenty of solutions that can cover most of your
knowledge deficiencies." A current example to show anyone who is
interested about home based turnkey systems: view an experiment
system. See the bank statements to view how profitable or not so
profitable.
