I’ve written this article for those who are thinking of starting a home based business.
When you make the decision to work from home and you’re planning your home based business, it’s a good idea to first decide why you’re doing it, then grab a piece of paper and write it down.   Your reason may be - 
to spend more time with your family;you like the idea of being your own boss;you’re a stay-at-home Mum or Dad;dreaming of a better lifestyle;needing an extra or part-time income;Your reason might be different from these but you need a compelling reason that will have you leaping out of bed every morning to get going!  There will be days when things don’t go right and you’ll wonder why you ever thought a home based business could work for you!  That’s when you need to go and read your ‘Why’ again – and remember your reason for making your decision.
When you write down your ‘Why’ be specific and paint a picture.  
If your reason is wanting to spend more time with your family, write down what you would do if you had that time, where you would go and how your day would look.  
Who doesn’t like the idea of being their own boss?  Write down the positive things it would bring to your life.   You might like the fact that you don’t have to answer to anyone else or just knowing that if you put in 110% you get to keep all of the profit!
You may need an extra or part-time income to put your kids through college or university, to buy that dream car, or just to pay the bills and make ends meet.   Write down and visualize how much better your life would be if you had those extra $$s each month.           
You get the idea … be specific about why you want to work from home and the difference it would make to your life.   It might not seem like much but it is a very powerful action.   And it’s good place to start.
