If the DREAM is BIG enough, The Facts Don’t Count In A Home Based Business

Success in any Home Based Business requires vision. One must have a clear sense of what they want to accomplish. A purpose so crystal-clear that it will propel them past the inevitable obstacles that will appear along the path. Otherwise, people will quit. I have seen it many times. If one doesn’t know exactly where they are going they won’t get anywhere.

Many people today are afraid to dream, they won’t allow themselves to be all they could be because they are lacking the confidence to really “go for it”. Life has suppressed their enthusiasm. This can be said of people in any profession, but in a home business opportunity it will be fatal. In our profession we don’t have anybody in a position of authority or a boss watching over us to whom we are accountable. A home business requires a major amount of discipline if one wants to be successful.

I have seen some folks “driven” by circumstances like being broke which drove them to be successful. There are many “rags to riches” stories out there. However the majority of people start a business on a part time basis while still employed full time in a job. They aren’t quite so needy as to be driven to succeed. I have seen people driven because they really dislike what they do for a living. This was certainly the case in the beginning for me. I wanted to be my own boss and not have to answer to anybody. That dream “drove” me to do things many others won’t do.

I called everybody I knew; I traveled 12 hours one way to give two people a presentation. (This was before the internet and they both turned me down.)

I had hundreds of people turn me down, but a few said yes and in 12 to 28 months I was earning a comfortable income from home.

I had a dream of being free and I was willing to do whatever it took to build my business to the point it would support my family. I was “hungry”. That was 14 years ago now.

Everybody faces obstacles; not enough time, unsupportive family, lack of funds, inexperience, lack of a mentor or coach, lack of quality contacts to name a few. In fact every successful person I know in our business has faced some of these. However, it didn’t stop them from accomplishing what they set out to do. That is because they had a dream, a burning ambition that drove them to overcome.

Having a clear vision of what it is that you want is a basic requirement of leadership. In a home business opportunity only leaders are well paid. Anybody can earn a few hundred or even a few thousand dollars a month, but, if you want total financial freedom, one must become a leader and attract other leaders to the business. That is reality. For some there can be a fair amount of personal growth required before others will consider them to be a leader and be attracted to their team. Once again if the dream is big enough the facts don’t count, they will grow and become leaders.

The very best way that I have found to grow my own leadership qualities is to get around people that are already leading many others and study what they do. In my own experience the most important quality I have seen in the leaders that have blessed me with their mentoring was their ambition to be more everyday and work hard towards their goals, their dreams, their vision for their lives. They are enthusiastic about their potential and what they are doing. Why would anybody follow someone who wasn’t enthusiastic?

Those qualities are absolutely essential in a home based business!
