What does it take to have a business in my home?
Do you have a home based business or want to start a home based business?
Who wouldn’t want to have large amounts of cash pouring in to their bank account from their home office?
Who wouldn’t want thousands of loyal customers, to sell products and services to from the convenience of their home?
Who wouldn’t want more time with their family? And home based small business is going to be the career of the future.
Systems and software have made it easier and easier to become successful at having and running a business from home. This is the joy of having and operating a home based business. There are literally thousands and thousands of people who make money at home and have the quality of life you are looking for. Some of the questions you must ask yourself are: What does it take to be successful at a home based business? Am I the type of person who is ready for a home based business venture? What will I need to learn to be successful? Who can teach me what I want to know? What will it take for me to transition into having a home based business?
You can find out by answering these 10 questions.
Grade yourself on a scale from 1 to 10 (10 being the highest.) Be as honest as you can, it will help you become more successful with your home based business aspirations. Get your paper and pen and let’s begin.
Do you have a big vision?
I have a big vision that drives and keeps me excited about my home based business. I am very excited all the time about my vision and my business. I have written my big vision on paper where I can see it. I know why I work my home based business and I know who it will benefit when I am successful, make the money I want and produce my vision. Grade yourself 1 to 10
Do you have a big business community network that you work with?
I understand that my network = my net worth. I have a lot of business colleagues that I work with on a daily basis. We utilize and share information so that we can find untapped markets, open new territories, bring in new customers overnight and generate website traffic and share profits. We do not need the help of a bank loan or line of credit to run our home based businesses. We utilize joint venture strategies to help us all succeed as entrepreneurs. I don’t feel as if I work alone, I am part of a community of entrepreneurs who work together. Grade yourself 1 to 10
Do you have strong self-command and leadership?
I do not let any news or challenges stop me from my home based business goals. I am not a hot head or yell at my team. No one has command over my feelings but me. I tell myself uplifting inspiring thoughts about my ability to run a business from my home everyday. I focus only on the outcome I want for me and my family. I spend part of everyday visualizing my big vision and my end results. I follow through on what I say I am going to do that day. Grade yourself 1-10
Do you have a place you can go to get new customers or clients?
When I need new clients I utilize my business community network and am introduced to someone who has a big data base, full of thousands of customers, who is looking for a new product to market to that data base. We create a joint venture and I provide that new product. I receive new clients as well as splitting the profits between myself and my business colleague. I joint venture twice a month so that I build my home base business quickly. Grade yourself 1 to 10
Are you a possibility thinker?
I do not spend time worrying, complaining or fearing about what to do with my home base business. I take action. I am a solution seeker. When I run up against an unknown problem I will explore options and implement those tools and solutions that will catalyze my home base business dreams. I do not indulge in limited negative thinking. I do not let others use lack, limited or negative thinking around me either. I am open to all possibilities and solutions. Grade yourself 1 to 10
Do you have a mentor?
I have a mentor that helps me focus on the tasks that will move my business forward. My mentor helps me stay on track.
I talk with my mentor at least once a month and quickly implement the advice I receive. (A mentor is different than a coach. A mentor is someone who is making the money you want to make having done the thing you want to do.) Grade yourself 1 to 10
Do you have dedicated office hours?
I understand that to grow my business I must spend time building it. I have scheduled hours I work on my business and I am committed to working the hours I schedule for me. Grade yourself 1 to 10
Are you organized with your day?
I make a list of what I need to get done for the next day, the night before. I work a schedule just as I would if I were an employee, whether I work full time or part time at my home based business. I make my hourly schedule of when I will work and I stick to it. I know where all my files, papers and tools I will need are. I work effectively during the hours I set aside to work my home based business. I work at the things that will generate cash for me and my family. Grade yourself 1 to 10
Do you have a mastermind group you belong to?
I understand that I benefit from being in a community of like minded individuals. I understand the benefits of being in a mastermind group and am an active member of the group. I get business ideas and suggestions as well as network and build relationships with other entrepreneurs. Grade yourself 1 to 10
Do you utilize marketing strategies that are low cost and effective?
I run my home based business lean and mean. I do not use my resources to buy unnecessary marketing or advertising products when I can joint venture instead. I keep my costs down and my profits high. I know how to get super affiliates to sell my product at no cost. I know how to optimize the referral market. I do not pay for leads or buy lists hoping to find clients. Grade yourself 1 to 10
The lowest score is a 10 the highest is a 100. You can see by the score and number where you need to improve your home based business skill sets. If you are starting your home based business or scored in the 7 to 60 range you may want to improve your business by learning more about what you need to have in place to succeed. Learning about joint ventures can explode your home based business sales. No one can teach you better than http://privatejvclub.info
Here is my last challenge to you. Give this test to your spouse and ask them to grade you without any reprisal from you. Then together you are on the same page and can explode your home base business dreams together. Sometimes just finding better solutions can help your home based business thrive.

May you direct your dreams.
It would help if your test questions were numbered just for those who get misplaced momentarily. It seemed as thow, that the only small home business to which you are referring is a product industry. There are also service businesses such as Dog Walkers or Property Managers. I would assume the same rules to the test apply but, others may think this test is limited to the sale of products manufactured or offered for sale.
I think this test is fairly generic to any life endeavor on which one may wish to embark – such as purchasing a yacht and sailing around the world.
Overall, good positive points of inquiry to help one realize that one can do and be anything one sets out to accomplish and become.
