Well…Is it?

I mean when we first got started in our businesses, one of the main goals, was the dream of one day being able to work from home, right?

No more getting up at the crack of dawn, rushing to get ready for work, only to get stuck in an hour’s worth of a traffic jam, then slowly and painfully trying to make the next 8 hours of a job you hate, go by as quickly as possible…

No, you saw the comfort of waking up when you feel like, and no more alarm clocks! Moseying out of bed to start your relaxing day, grabbing some breakfast, maybe go workout, and then throw the PJ’s back on, and take the next couple hours to try and actually get some work done on your home business…Dream come true, right?

Well if your anything like me, going from working for some ass face boss, to being my own boss, and holding myself accountable for getting stuff done, was quite a transition…and not an easy one either.

You could say, that I sort of coasted by the first few weeks and was completely content, until… My business came to a screeching halt! My lead flow started dying off, sales started dropping off, and  I was watching everything I worked so hard for, start to crumble before my very own eyes!

Well, luckily for me, I had the sense to see that my laziness, and dis-organization was the culprit, and I did a complete 180…

1.) I started holding my self accountable (for reals this time) and started treating my work at home business, like a real business.

2.) I set a schedule for my self, that if I didn’t stick too, I would write my self up (sounds crazy I know, but trust me, physiologically, it’s a very effective motivational boost).

3.) I made a very defined list of admin vs. productive work, which meant no answering e-mails or calls while I’m working on marketing, or building my business.

4.) And lastly, I made it very clear, that I wasn’t to be disturbed when I’m in my office, and as soon as the headphones went on, I’m in the “Zone”

Now all these may sound like very basic ideas, or rules to follow, but trust me if you’re really serious about the amount of money you can earn from home, whether it be a job, or a work from home business…You need to be very disciplined, and stick to a set of strict rules…

Otherwise, you’ll see everything your worked so effing hard for, come crashing down…and you’ll be wondering “What the hell just happened?”

To Your Success.
