Probably one of the biggest differences between people who succeed and people who fail in home based business is motivation. Simply put, if you don’t have really good motivation to succeed in a home based business you probably wont. That’s because building a business from home can be really hard.

There are going to all kinds of bumps in the road and if you don’t have the proper kind of motivation you’re probably not going to make it. So before you do anything else with your home based business. Or before you even start a home based business. It’s a really good idea of ask yourself: what’s my home based business motivation?

If you think you know what your motivation is let me stop you right there and tell you that your motivation should never, ever be money! If the only thing you have in your sights is a dollar amount you probably have about a 99% chance of failure. That’s because even though money is a huge motivator it’s not enough! It’s what you would do with that money that’s really going to keep you going!

Would you quit your job and take your kids to Disney World? Would you build your parents the house of their dreams? Would you finally take that trip across the globe? Would you give more money to your church? Whatever it is that you would do with all that money THAT is your motivation not the money it’s self.

More often than not your motivation has to do with people rather than possessions. Because even though everyone wants to live in their dream home no house can be more motivating than the idea of spending more time with your kids or grandkids. Try to think of the most emotional, and most personal reasons for succeeding in your business. Those are the things that are going to ensure that you succeed no matter how many road bumps you encounter.

Are you starting to think of things yet?

Do yourself and your business a favor, before you do anything else get a pen and paper and write out the top 10 things that motivate you to succeed in your business! It might sound silly but this will help you more than you can ever imagine. Pull out that piece of paper anytime you don’t feel like working or you want to sit on the couch and watch t.v. rather than make a few more calls!

Best of luck to you and your business. I know this will really help you. Once you have the proper motivation you can do anything!
