Home Based Business

This is an interesting topic which I personally love to discuss. The other day I was visiting my friend and we were generally discussing about new ideas of business. It was than we ended up discussing about home based business ideas. Yes, you heard it right, we were discussing about home based business ideas.

Today, having a family and being with them is what we all long for. If most of the time we are away from our families working for someone and doing a 9 to 5 job, what remains with us for spending quality time is hardly anything viewing the time it takes to reach home after bypassing heavy traffic and other chaos enroute on our way. That is when we though about beginning some home based business.

We both came across some cool home based business ideas. Apart from our profession, we have listed down few of the common home based business for self employed entrepreneurs.

6 Helpful Tips for Entrepreneurs, How to Overcome Fear of Starting a Business

How do you feel when you see successful people on the spotlight? You think that I will follow that path too. When you are actually trying to duplicate their success, it is pretty tough. You may start complaining that you don't have enough skills, no knowledge, etc. The first thing that you need to do when you set your heart to be a solo entrepreneur is to develop emotional maturity, managing your business fear. Ask yourself if you have any fear of starting a business. Have you seen the iceberg? The 90% of iceberg part is invisible, submerged beneath the water. Your subconscious mind is like 90% of iceberg part. You accumulate past experiences in your subconscious mind, and it controls your actions and behaviors today. How can you change your old benefit or your mindset? You can't change it overnight, but it will change gradually as you set to acquire a new belief.

Here are my tips for solo entrepreneurs, how to deal with the fear of starting a business:

    Identify your fear of starting a business. Make a list of your fear and how you are going to work or to solve on each of your fear in business.

    When your negative thought of fear keeps coming, you need to have a positive affirmation to replace your fear gradually.

    Identify your weakness in business. If your weakness is the root of your fear in business, do something about it, learn the skills. When your skills improve, your business fear will subside.

    Identify and think of your strength, interest and abilities that make you feel good, confident and be proud of you.
