It’s Monday and the starting of a new week for your Home Based Business.

Good morning, it is Monday morning and another week is starting. I hope for all of you who are reading this article and working in a home based business are already busy moving towards your goals and getting results.

In case you are not, what are you doing right now? Are you still checking your e-mail or what you missed in your skype chat, or you may still in facebook and twitter? Just watch out, this can be your start to sabotage your morning.

Don’t shake your head and telling me that you just checking and using social site to build your business, because most people are wasting their time in there and when the day is over they ware not productive and show no results.

You must have a routine and stick with it. Just as you are at your job, you know when you have to start, when your breaks are, what you have to get accomplish for that day and when you are going home. Now, why so many people who are working at home can’t get into that ripen and treat their business like a job carrier? Because the secret weapon for success in your home based business is to use the same workflow like you do at your job.

Like at your job, you may have every morning fast a meeting, which informs you were you are and what the goal and deadline of your project is and that your bosses and their shareholders expect from you to stick with the schedule and deliver the results by deadline.

Well, they don’t ask you that you be ready, and when dear you be cut not doing the job, but hanging around in all kinds off chats or social media site, you will be fired. Now, tell me what is the different between working for another company or working for yourself? The business strategy is the same, just at the job you exchange your time for a paycheck while working for yourself you are able to make as much money as you want.

Now, ask yourself this question:

Are you getting results what you are doing?

Are you hanging around social site and get nothing done?

Are you working on a schedule?

Are you doing ongoing education outside your work schedule to improve your skills?

Are you willing to pay yourself salary for the results you have? What I mean, when someone else works for you the way you are currently working you business, would you pay that person that salary?

Are you working on your personal development to get you were you want to be?

Are you reinvesting your money from your business income back into your business and expand it?

Are you in charge of your business, or other people?

That are a few question, but I think they are really important or later you will find out that you waste to much time and opportunities to get you were you belong. When you don’t have the result jet than you need to stop what you are doing and go over it. This will be a sign that you are not doing what needs to be done, or what you are currently doing is not working and correction needed to be done. Don’t worry, as long as you don’t give up and are willing to learn new skills and using them you will get results. The biggest mistake most home based business owner are doing, they don’t do it!

So just check your checklist again, and see what needs improvement, what is out of date and what is working that brings you the result and the money. When you get already the results, than you on the right track, but when not, you have no time any more to be wasted with none sense and excuses.

I hope my tip will help you for a very productive week and get your home based business up to the next level.

    Gudrun, Another great post. I found when I first became self employed I would say things like well in my real job. This is as real as any job you will ever have only with loads of FREEDOM. The successful people I have come across do just what you are suggesting. They have a routine and they stick to it. They add changes when it will increase their income or business.

    Thanks again for a wonderful post.

    Gudrun, you are so right about sticking to a schedule. No one will ever be successful in a Home Based Business unless they do a LOT of work, and the best way to do that is to stick to a schedule. Of course a reliable company is also a necessity. Keep the great suggestions coming, the reminders are always welcome!!

    These are an excellent questions to ask myself daily Gruden. I do work on schedule and move forward on improving my skills. Although some of the other questions I really did not think of I will use this list thanks for the insight.

    Thanks for the comments. I think most of the people who are in a home based business, thinking that they have a business, but they don't treat it as a business.

    If you are using the Internet for marketing you have to be somewhat creative to have a fairly regular and repetitive schedule since there are numerous volatilities in conducting the business such as lightning storms, ISP issues, computer configuration (not to mention the odd crash here and there), webinar sessions which you can't schedule, time zone issues, email delivery issues, hacking problems (you really, really need a strong password for online stuff), and the list goes on for a good while. So the real challenge is to prioritize items in your schedule and structure in some flexibility as to what gets done when. Of course you really, really need to be dedicated and patient to see the results you are working for. Having a super excellent CMS like we have goes a long ways to resolve what otherwise would be practically intractable problems. Gudrun, keep up your courage and encouragement.
