Home Based Business - 3 Challenges for Home Based Business

For those of us who have grown accustom to a home based business challenges are common. The rewards of working in an environment we create is worth it all. On the other hand, for someone who is just starting out or curious there are some important issues to overcome.


One of the biggest and most frequent challenge is distractions. No matter how much you try to isolate your work area and concentrate… home life happens. It just does. The phone rings unexpectedly, the dogs start barking, there’s a knock on the door, and the list can go on. How a person deals with these interruptions and gets back to the task at hand determines the outcome of the day. Setting up a system with a significant other to deal with them is helpful. If that is not possible then learning to keep your business as a priority will help you get back to it quickly.


Another difficulty for people who have a home based business is discipline. This was true of me when I first started. There were no more managers (or assistant managers) hovering over me to get things done. No more schedules or deadlines to meet… I was free to work when I felt like it because I was my own boss. When the funds soon ran out and credit card debt started to climb out of control I realized the importance of discipline. It was when I took responsibility and control of my time management that I started to see excellent results. Looking back at my employment experiences I’m more hard on myself than any supervisor and I feel more empowered now.


The third problem necessary to master is being disconnected. When a person works as an employee it is easy to disconnect. Punching the time card or timing out, the commute home, and changing out work clothes all help us separate emotionally and psychologically from a job. Having a home based business and taking it home is obvious. Learning how to disconnect your business concerns from you home or family concerns is important for both you and them. This is one of the best reasons to have a work area separate from other home areas. The simple act of getting up from the desk and walking away can help keep business in the frame of business and redirect your mind and heart toward family.


There is so much more involved in having a successful home business from lead generation to self improvement to keeping up with the rapidly changing industry.
