"Don't Quit Your Day Job!"
I think we can all agree that stress is one of the worst
things in life. If you manage stress well, you can also
manage your business and your life well. Living with stress
can make running any business a chore. Too much unmanaged
stress can break up families and friends, and will
ultimately be fatal to your business and your health.
The ideal business plan for an entrepreneur that expects to
be successful "down the road" is to develop multiple
streams of income. When starting a home-based business, you
can immediately begin working on your second "stream" by
not quitting your day (or primary) "job". This puts your
new online business in the best position in which to
succeed, with minimal stress. There is no pressure to
"produce" from day one, as long as your household income
stays the same. Of course you will push yourself to reach
your goals, but if you don't make a profit for a while,
your personal finances are not affected.
Being in this great situation, you will notice that you not
only enjoy building your home-based business, but you now
enjoy your time at your "regular job" even more. When you
go to work in the morning ( or whenever), you know that you
are working to finance your "real passion", your growing
home business. It will make you appreciate the time you
have at night and on the weekends to make "your" business
a success. All day long, you can't wait to get home to
"get started" on your most important work of the day,
building "your" business.
You may even be able to work on your business ideas during
the day while your at work, in a discrete manner. Your
standard equipment for your regular job work day, whether
you work in an office or drive a truck, should include a
notebook (or two) to capture good ideas that hit you while
you are working. When you have slow periods or break time,
you can also write or complete works in progress. A pocket-
sized voice memo recorder is also a great tool to carry
around with you at all times. When that great idea hits
you, and you can't stop to take out your notebook and
jot it down, just record a short message to yourself.
Listening to these personal notes later will put your "idea
machine" back in gear, so your brainstorming can continue
from where it left off earlier in the day.
Having this kind of dedication to build your business, while
still paying the bills, will allow you to the have the
business that you've always dreamed of.
