Are you enjoying or enduring your online home based business marketing? Home business has been made easy with the use of the internet but for some internet marketers, it has become a personal bondage instead of personal freedom. They are not enjoying one of the main reasons they quit their corporate jobs. And the root cause is simply lack of self discipline.
Personal Bondage, though can happen to any online marketer at any level of success, occurs mostly with newbies (new users on the Internet). Everything seems difficult and overwhelming to the person: marketing strategies, generation of leads and traffic, etc. The person has to learn so much and start so many things at the same time. No time any more for you, family or friends. It is work, work and work!
Another thing that can cause personal bondage is unhealthy competition. Competition is very good but when it becomes a do or die affair, then it becomes dangerous. It will engulf all your mind and time; affect your relationships and perspective to life.
Personal freedom, one of the benefits of home-based business is achievable and can be maintained. I have listed below 4 steps to achieve this.
4 steps to enjoy and maintain personal freedom
1. Choose the right home business suitable for you.
Your choice of business will affect the level of freedom you will enjoy. It should not be the type that will demand more than you can give. As I stated in my article- How To Choose A Home-Based Business Today, you need to consider how much time you can put into the business before concluding on it.
2. Have a business schedule and stick to it
Rome was not built in one day, so allow your online business marketing to gradually grow. Have a daily action plan and implement it but stick to your schedule. What cannot be completed today will be completed tomorrow. Though sometimes you may need to work overtime, it should not become a habit.
3. Update your knowledge base.
There is a lot of information on how to market easily and faster online. Search out how others are able to achieve a lot in shorter periods and implement them. A word of caution though- only implement ideas that can be done within your budget and are adaptable to your online home based business. Also, do not be deceived by ‘how to get rich quick’ promotions. Every successful business requires diligence and time.
4. Self discipline
You need to discipline you especially in areas of time management and self development. Many people know what is right but lack the self discipline to carry it out. Discipline your emotions: fear, anger, pride, etc. Do not get into unreasonable competitions. There will always be somebody before and after you in the hierarchy of success.
You are meant to enjoy personal freedom from your online home based business marketing not to endure personal bondage. It is your responsibility to take steps to achieve this freedom. So get started and see you at the top.
