I have been running my own home based business for many years now and during that time I have talked to numerous people who want to work at home. There are lots of reasons why people want to start a work at home business and some of the most common reasons are:

1) Want to spend more time with their family.

2) Tired of commuting and working long hours.

3) Not being paid what they are worth at their current job.

4) Want to be the boss and not work for someone else.

5) Overall lack of satisfaction with current employer.

6) Out of a job and need make money.

7) Freedom to work when, where, and how they want.

8) No limit to the amount of money that can be made.


You may have your own reasons for needing to start a work at home business that are different from above. Whatever your reasons are for wanting to work at home you really should keep a few things in mind...


The first thing you need to realize is that running your own home based business is still work. It’s not all fun and games just because you are the boss. You need to be realistic with your business plans and goals. Don’t expect to get rich over night because it won’t happen, even though many people would like you to think it will.


A lot of business opportunities will fill you full of hype and false promises of making a lot of money in a short amount of time. There are a lucky few that seem to rake in the big bucks very quickly but that should not be expected.


Making a lot of money with your own work at home business is VERY possible but it will take time, hard work, dedication, and desire. Your marketing skills, business skills, computer skills and time available to you are among the many factors that will decide how long it takes you to reach a large profit from your business. You don’t need those skills to start a work at home business but you will need to acquire them along the way, so having them now will help you make money faster.


In most cases it will take at least a year and sometimes up to three years or more before you are really making a profit significant enough to support you and your family. You are the only one that knows how much money you need to make in order to support your lifestyle. Put in the hard work and dedication to your home based business and you will reap the rewards in the end.


The next thing I want to point out is that not all home based business opportunities are scams! Yes, there are many work at home scams out there but there are also just as many legitimate opportunities. A large percentage of the time someone labels a home based business opportunity a scam just because they didn’t get rich off of it in their first month.


If you really examine the facts you would see that many times a business opportunity that someone labels a scam is actually very legitimate. It goes with what I have mentioned above… They see that they actually have to put in time and work and are not going to get rich just by signing up so they start crying scam.


Please note that I am not saying that all home based business opportunities are legitimate. There is a fair share of scams out there. Make certain that you do your homework before getting started with a work at home business, especially if there is a fee to sign up.


Please check out my 10 criteria for evaluating home business opportunities to help you decide whether or not a work at home based business opportunity is legitimate or not.


So what have we learned about starting a work at home based business? It can be summed up very quickly…

1) You will have to put in time and hard work to make a home based business succeed.

2) There are plenty of legitimate business opportunities on the internet. Just because you don’t get rich overnight does not mean it is a scam.

3) Check out home based business opportunities thoroughly before you send any money.


Okay, now you have figured out why you want to start a work at home business, that you will have to put in time and effort to make it succeed, and there are legitimate work at home business opportunities out there. I think you are ready to get out there and start your home based business.
