If your job is becoming more and more stressing and the
idea of starting a home business of your own from scratch
is scary, then it's the best time for you to start a home
business. But before you jump online you need to know
the basics. If you don't you could end up with a disaster!

I find that most people seem to start trying to make
money online the wrong way. When the idea of starting a
home business comes up, they leave their day job, get
their own dot com, throw up a Web site and start selling
anything, and then just sit back and wait for the orders or
e-mail to roll in.

Some people believe in some unethical webmasters when
they say "if you build it, traffic will automatically come and
you will start making money quickly". If they don't start
making money as promised they give up. They want to
make money now, not tomorrow, but now. That is exactly
the Wrong way to start.

If it's easy; why 95% of online marketers fail?


Because they are looking for something that doesn't exist
whish is money over night, success in flash and instant
riches. Sorry to say, it doesn't happen that way. Don't
believe all the Hype you read on Websites.

The idea of starting home business is very exciting,
worthwhile and gives you the freedom that you've always
dreamed of. But if you do not spend the time necessary to
learn the subtleties of each approach in order to start the
right way; it can be costly, time-consuming and
frustrating.

Where do I start?

It's the most asked and crucial question. If you get the
right answer and you start the right way you will succeed.
Unfortunately most of new business starters don't know
where to go to get the right advices. In consequence they
lose everything and give up.


In this article I will share with you what I have
learned to date about business rules in hopes of making it
easier for you to find the information you're looking for.
With this article, I will guide those new to the Internet,
what some of the core basics are that you need to
consider to prevent your home business from failure
and/or becoming just another Dot Com. By reading this
article and taking note of some of the points made, you
will have a more realistic view of what is involved in not
just having a Web site, but creating a successful home
business to realize your dreams.

If you want to move on from this question and explore
your business idea if you have already an idea then the
first thing you need to do is learn. The best thing you can
invest your money in is education, educate yourself, and
learn everything there is to learn about starting home
business. Learning must be a part of your business plan
and you must stick to it. There is laterally tons of FREE
information available on the net such as business
newsletter, ebooks, ezine, ecourses, business mentors,
associations, and so on...


Learn general business skills, personnel management,
financial management, technical business development.
Learn the necessary computer kills; you would need for
your job. And even better, learn other skills that you
predict would be helpful. You will need them in the near
future.

Start by determining your skills.

You should determine your skills, abilities and interests to
better define what you need to learn, what kind of
business you like. Identify your personal qualities to
determine if you are the type of person that should be an
entrepreneur. By determining your skills you will
determine your learning needs. What kind off skills you
need to own. What skills you need to improve and how
you are going to improve them. What you don't like to
learn, etc...

To do just that acquire from 2 to 3 weeks to learn about
everything you come across. Study some sites, ask
questions, etc...


Determine initial learning length.

To reach any medium or long-range goal, your first step
should generally be to break it down into a series of short-
range goals. So, we will begin by doing the same here.
Once you have determined your learning needs it's time to
determine your learning length. Learning length more
than necessary does not result in an appropriate learning
effect. Therefore, it is necessary to determining an
appropriate balance.

Remember, you can't stay all your life learning. Time is
gold. You can learn by doing. Then, learn just what you
need to start a business. Don't try to learn every thing
deeply. If you try probably you will never start your
business.

Once you have an idea about what you need to learn
create a plan. Create a plan that will guide you trough the
most important steps of the process. As you advance in
your learning and skills, you may find reason to change


your plan. Remember that you can always change it. This
is a plan just for you, so change it or update it as you feel
the need.

Be realistic when you write your plan and stick with it. If
you don't you can't progress in your program.

Depending on your skills, your knowledge about the
business you want to create and your free time; schedule
your time accordingly and decide:

- How many hour you should study in a day/ week.
- How long you will study.
- What topic you want to learn about.
- Do you need to learn about personnel management,
financial management, technical business development or
the necessary computer kills?


Here you will find information?

Reading is the best WAY to gain knowledge. Knowledge is
Power! With the Internet becoming more and more
accessible to everyone, you have now even more reading
materials to choose from. Use your favorite search
engines to search for things that interest you.

- Attain seminars, discussion forums, discussion boards,
etc... about the subject of your interest.

- Listen to what the experts say concerning subjects that
may interest you. You will gain new viewpoints and ideas
this way.

- Ask your friends, family and relatives. People are a
great source of information. Go to bookstore and buy
business books. There are so many great business books
to get you started.


- Talk to the other business people. Learn from successful
business people; learn from their success and failure.

- Don't be afraid to ask for help. Prepare questions in
advance to make sure the interview meets your
objectives.

- You can contact, small business centers, local councils;
government grants, business adviser, government
programs for unemployed people to get started in
business.

These entire places will give you the information you need
to get started. Information from licenses, regulations,
business plans, business structures, finance, taxations,
and so on the list is endless.

Be self-disciplined & self-motivated; be prepared to
work hard; devote more time to your business.

seriously, don't be in rush and take the necessary time
that will allow you to master awesome techniques, tips
and tricks for creating, running and managing your
