Family Circus - Make Time For Family With An Internet Business

Submitted By: Michelle Bery

Sometimes, it seems like you don’t have a full 24 hours in a day. Between work, family, and sleep, there is no time for anything else. You never seem to have five minutes to relax, and on days when work requires overtime, you lose time with your family. In fact, it seems you never spend quality time with your children anymore. One way to get your life back under your control and manage time better is to start your own internet business. With an online business opportunity, you can decrease your work hours overall, as well as become more flexible and available for your family.

With a standard office job, you are required to drive to work and back. Whether you are a commuter or not, this is extra time that must be incorporated into your busy work day and more time taken away from family. Then, you may get stuck in the office, waiting for a conference call or a sales call that isn’t going to come in until an hour after you’ve normally left. To make matters worse, you find yourself sitting at your desk with nothing to do at several points during the day.

Take the same circumstances and apply them to an online business opportunity that you run from home. First of all, doing business online doesn’t require commuter time (or the stress of dealing with traffic). You don’t have to get into the office at a certain time and, though it is best to maintain a schedule, you can be flexible when you run your own online business. If your child needs a ride to school, there is no need to call the boss and make excuses for being late. Also, if there is an after-hours meeting that must be attended, you can still spend time with your family before the meeting, rather than wasting the overtime in the office.

Best of all, if you have slow periods throughout your business day, your online business allows you the freedom to achieve other goals. You will have more time to clean the house so that you can spend time with your children after school. If your children aren’t in school yet, you can take time out to play a game with them. After all, your computer can be within visible or audible distance no matter where you are in your house.

If you can’t seem to find time for that doctor’s appointment, or you have to cut into family time to buy groceries, an online business venture can solve your problems. You are your own boss, create your own hours, and can get errands run or things accomplished while you work. As long as you are diligent in making sure everything is running smoothly for your online business and that customers are satisfied, you will find a world of freedom in running an internet business that allows you to enjoy life, spend time with family and friends, and still provide the financial support system that your family requires

Get A Breakthrough In Your Small Business

Points I cover in this article:
* Your outcome for your home based business
* The processes of your home based business
* Your experience and the importance in getting a breakthrough in your home based business

::: Your Home Business Outcome :::Having an outcome for your home based business is crucial to achieving the kind of success you want. But, what do you want? Most businesses end up creating to do's rather than having an end outcome with there home based business.

When you can get clear on what exactly you want, then you can take the steps to make it take effect. With an outcome, you create yourself a target to aim for, this target then can help you create a plan of action, the action being the key to a breakthrough in your home based business.

Next comes looking at your why. Why do you want to earn this outcome in your home based business? The why will be the energy that propels you forward. People generally stick to the security of a day job because of the repercussions of not going to the day job, such as not being able to pay for food, living expenses, lifestyle, etc� You can use the same thinking, why do you need to earn the outcome.

Get rich quick schemes thrive on the people who keep money as a symbol of power - 'I must have a million' - they say. Though money leaves people hollow, after all money is only tree's made into paper, and used as a way to make getting the things we need much easier. Bartering even though a great system, can not be as great as having a few pieces of paper in your wallet that allows you to buy whatever you want, easily.

The point I am trying to make, is that you need to have the vision, and a reason for getting that outcome. Breakthroughs in your home based business soon come when you unbderstand a bit about the road ahead.

::: Your Home Business Processes :::
Most home based business that fail, fail because they don't clearly unbderstand of the processes of there home based business, and the crucial tasks that make success, the 80/20 rule. When you set time to unbderstand your home based business, and what tasks make the big impact, you can go forward and create the breakthrough you need in your home based business.

::: Your Past Experience And Its Importance In A Breakthrough In Your Home Business :::
Your experience can be a great asset. Look to your past in your home based business, and consider times when you did have breakthroughs. What created those breakthroughs? What did you do to create the breakthrough?

Success teaches us very little, while the experiences from our failures, can create your greatest success. Achieving a breakthrough in your home based business will require commitment, and a clear direction of where you want to get to. With persistent effort in action, and the persistence, you will get a breakthrough, by continuing it will be lasting success.
