Have you been thinking about starting your own home based business? Before you start your business you need to seriously think of a plan first. Make sure you don't start a business blindly and be disappointed along the way. I will list down my views on the following article.
Starting a home based business is like planning for a trip. You can't go on a trip without having a budget, the desired destination, how long you're planning to be there, the accommodation, activities and so on.
There are 5Ps that you need to consider before you start any business:-
1. Prepare yourself. First you have to do some research on the type of home based business that are already in the market. This will roughly give you an idea on which business that would suit you best.
2. Plan. Now that you have all the information you need, you can start planning by writing down the type of product you are going to sell, the hours you need to work in a day, your cost and product pricing (if you are selling your own product) and so on.
3. People. The category of people that you would market your product to.
4. Passion. You must have passion in the type of business that you choose to do. This is will help you stay focus and to work hard towards your goals.
5. Persevere. I believe this is the most important thing to remember for anyone who wants to succeed. We are often discouraged if things did not work out as we planned. Like a journey, we have to take one baby step at a time and soon we will reach our destination.
However there are also many other business opportunity that we can do from home to earn some extra cash such as being an affiliate and selling other peoples' products. Whatever business you choose to do just remember the 5Ps.
