Five Examples of True Home Based Business Success
Author: Linda Carol Berry
If you are considering launching your own home based business, I encourage you with all my heart! It is your opportunity to live a life by your own design. I attended Ellie Drake’s, “It Is Easier Done than Said” extravaganza event in Atlanta in early May, 07, and there I heard many highly successful home based entrepreneurs relate their own histories and how having their own businesses had enhanced their lives.
From their stories, I have distilled these five accounts:
1. I listened with reverence as a successful entrepreneurial woman stated simply, “I was determined that I would not put my children into day care.” She did not take at face value the fact that a second income was needed in their family, and she must work outside the home, and let someone else be the strongest influence in the lives of her children. With unwavering focus, she set about accomplishing two very important goals in her life: raising her own children, and additional income. Her mantra was not “There is no way,” but rather “I will find the way”. The home based business industry holds the answer for you if you have young children deserving your care and attention, and your bank account requires nourishment.
2. I listened in admiration to a single mom say “I was raising my girls by myself, and on food stamps! Nine months later I was driving my dream car, with the lifestyle that goes with it, and it’s all because this industry allows me to have a life of my own design.” This vibrant young woman is now enjoying the finest that life has to offer and is able to contribute, mentor, teach and learn in an environment where consistency and persistence and “coachability” pay off 100% of the time.
3. I listened with empathy as a veteran RN told of her burn out experience in health care and how she was able to transfer her own strong work ethic to a strong business model, and realize seven figure returns by following directions, and delivering her best to the opportunity she chose.
4. I listened in appreciation as a couple related their own experiences involving humbling debt and ill fortune, and being restored to a quality life through the strength of network marketing in their home based business. I shared their tears of relief and accomplishment as they inspired the audience with their belief in their industry and their selves.
5. I listened in awe as an immigrant woman of Iran, who was not able show her hair in her country of birth, told of her fear of the bombs that accented her childhood, and her strong intuitive belief that her dreams could come true in America! My sole stirred as she told of her father’s challenge when she arrived in this country, to burn the bridge behind, and look forward, be consistent, and persistent, and enjoy the fruits of this great nation. I laughed and cried as she wove the pieces of her journey into her stunning success tapestry, as a result of realizing the opportunity of free enterprise. I felt her joy as she introduced her family, all of whom have had their lives changed by the home –based business industry. As a result of this woman’s generosity of spirit, I know that I can do anything.
To those of you who are harboring self doubt, I offer this: Be glad you made the choice to take control, to work for yourself, but not by yourself, to exercise persistency and consistency, to have a life of your design, or…. regret that you did not.
