Are You An Entrepreneur At Heart?
Have you always dreamed of working for yourself? Are you a motivated, self-starter that enjoys challenges? Does the concept of setting your own hours and working from the comfort of your home sound appealing?
If you answered yes to the above questions then you are probably an entrepreneur at heart. Although most people will agree that working from the home sounds ideal only some individuals are well-suited to that work environment. Let me explain why.
The advantages to working from your home are too numerous to list. For many the benefit of having more time to spend with family is enough to make this a viable option to pursue. But do you have what it takes to achieve success with a home-based business?
In order to work out of your home you must be disciplined enough to maintain some routine of working. If you know that you are lacking in some areas you might want to consider partnering with someone that complements you – someone that can basically fill in any gaps left by you and you for them.
No matter what type of home business you decide on it is important to treat it as a business. Start with a plan. A business plan will provide a roadmap for you to follow. By establishing where you want to be in six months, a year, two years, and even three years before you actually start you will be better equipped to plan for any necessary adjustments, purchases and tasks that may be required along the way.
One of the most essential personality traits of an entrepreneur is that of a positive attitude. You must be able to stay focused and think positively. An understanding that there may be times that things will not go as expected will be helping you maintain an attitude of perseverance. Many people fail at a home business because they give up too soon. A commitment to succeed along with lots of hard work can sometimes overcome all odds against an individual’s home business success.
Consider people you know that are successful entrepreneurs. What essential personality traits do they have in common? Chances are that they are driven and have a positive attitude. And why shouldn’t they be…..they are living out their dreams. By establishing your own business based on your likes and dislikes you are setting yourself up for a happier and healthier outlook on life.
We all want to feel “in control of our own destination”. By having your own business
you are truly in the driver’s seat. The road you choose is up to you. You decide which bumps to ride over and which mountains are too high. The freedom to achieve success is all yours. Eileen Hebert©

Dear Eileen,
More was gained from my 90 minute consultation than from years of wading and wandering through the available information attempting to find a plan. I felt understood as a unique individual. The information and ideas learned were both inspiring and practical regarding opportunities I'd already wondered about plus many more I'd never considered. There is clarity in the immediate steps I'm now taking doing things that I enjoy plus I learned of many resources I hadn't known existed to look into during the coming weeks and months. Now, I have the beginnings of a flexible, workable plan and the awareness that I really can create the life I want to live and have the means to support that life.

Hi Eileen,
What a great idea! It's fresh and new and definitely has a lot of potential. I've never heard of anyone doing anything like that. And my husband could help me with the business cards as we have a computer program for that. Yes, I would definitely have to get a portfolio put together. Hmmm......there are a lot of possibilities with this idea. Thanks so much for the suggestion. I will definitely think about it. :-)
