Keywords: Article Body: The accomplishments of our work from home ventures are not based on products or marketing plans. The opportunities for creating our home business achievements are completely dependent upon us. The “mental fortitude” applied to the development of our online company will determine success or failure. During the journey, the challenges that cross our path will be confidence, persistence, endurance, setbacks and change. They will come and we must be ready. Where is our confidence level? The best way to measure confidence is through our attitude toward challenges. Do we say “I think I can do it” or “I know I can do it”? Before developing a home based business, we must convince ourselves that success will happen. Self-talk will give a good indication of our readiness. Analyze our thought processes on a daily basis. We must build the foundation for success from the beginning of our internet venture. Don’t say “I think!” say “I will!” And believe it! How is our persistence? When developing the opportunity to make money online, we will meet a variety of obstacles. These barriers are similar to the challenges in our personal lives. Do we look at these obstacles as learning experiences or do we wish they would go away? Do we have the stubbornness to go eyeball to eyeball with the situation or do we want to quit? This saying is old but true: “When the going gets tough, the tough get going”. The success of our home business relies on the ability to face difficulty and stand firm. Bend but don’t break! Do we have endurance? The opportunity for home business success rises in direct proportion to our endurance. What happens when we do not get results? What occurs when our efforts go unrewarded? What develops when everything appears hopeless? How long do we hang in there? Consider this saying: “You are not finished when you lose! You are finished when you quit!” The road to internet business success relies on our ability to keep going when all of the signals say stop. Don’t quit! Tomorrow may be the day that our home business success arrives! Are setbacks good? Setbacks are opportunities to try again. When we face the uncertainties, disappointments and frustrations of creating a work from home business, what happens? Should we quit the journey or look for another road towards internet success? Developing mental toughness is like developing physical endurance. We must work through the pain and suffering to achieve the goal. The way that we respond to these barriers determines mental strength. Setbacks are learning opportunities for creating our online venture. We have gained information and experience to arrive at this point. These obstacles create the circumstances for adjusting our approach and trying again. Are we willing to change? Creating a home business is like developing personal success. It requires a commitment to change. How difficult is it to invest our money, time and effort and the result is nothing? When online accomplishments do not materialize, what should we do? Are we ready to revisit square one and restructure the game plan? Our willingness to face adversity and make adjustments is essential. If we want to create an internet business, change must be part of the design. Setbacks can bring us closer to making money online through these opportunities to adapt. Before beginning the journey toward home business success we must be mentally ready for the adventure. We will face every one of these challenges while developing a work from home enterprise. Our ability to overcome these obstacles will provide a better opportunity for making money on the internet. “Men do not fail, they stop trying.”
