Are HomeBased Business's Worth It?

Honestly I could have sat down and cried. Cried until I had no tears left. As a mother of 3, I would have cried for my children, and as a Grateful wife I would have cried for my husband. Nothing was going the way I was working so hard for. I mean Everyone raved about making money from home and or owning your own business. I was doing everything they told me to do. I had bought coaching programs, audios, advertisement, I went the free route and the paid route and nothing I was doing was working. So all I wanted to do was let my emotions get the best of me and cry.

For any of you who are parents you might be or might have been in this situation before. Your not making enough in the corporate world to get by. Yet somehow you budget just enough to eat or at least have enough that the kids can get a cookie in, and the bills are paid just barely. The kids can do without cloths and the debt collectors... well they can wait. Because you have a dream. Someone some where some how told you that you can create your own lifestyle. Maybe it is internet marketing, or a franchise, maybe your own business. Online or Offline. Either way your prepared to make sacrifices to get out of the working around the clock just to get by situation that you are in.

I know this. Because that was me. Man was it hard. I know that the struggles that you are going through. I know that it would be so easy to give up and go apply at the warehouse making a steady pay for $15 an hour.. but then what? What time will you have? Sure you might have a little extra cash but for how long? And have you started thinking or even prepared for the future?

I know there is a lot of talk about home based business’s being scam’s or scheme’s or they don’t work. I know that for a lot of people they don’t succeed. Because they come in thinking that it is going to be a simple and fast start cash reward. They were sold on the dream that they were going to start making money instantly. Well I can tell you that just like a job you have to work hard. The only and I mean the only difference is that the hard work you are putting in is for you and not for someone else. And now you no longer have to ask permission from anyone if you can spend time with your kids, or your spouse, or go on vacation. Is the hard work and tears worth it? I mean that is the real question. A majority of the home based business that is out there is pretty legit. They are home based for a reason. They cut out the marketing giving individuals the opportunity to work at the comfort of their own home and be with the kids, and giving them a leverage at the comp plan they are using. It doesn’t make it any less of work or hard work though. The more you put in the more you will get out of it.

Take it from me. It took me almost more than 3 years to get any kind of success. At least the kind that I was looking for. There were nights and days after days I had to pull myself out of a slump. A slump of feeling like a failure. But there isn’t any kind of failure unless you give up. They are just learning points of your career. Your Legacy!

I wrote this article today having a flashback of what it felt like. I’m hoping to inspire others with it. For So many Years I DID Struggle. But in the End it was All Worth It! Still Being home with the Kiddos’s and not having to ask Permission to spend time with them is AMAZING! My Kids won’t have to cry at night anymore because my husband doesn’t have to work 12-15 hour shifts anymore! No More Dreading the debt collector calls, Or what we cannot put on the grocery List, No more wondering if we can Pay for the kids cloths. Living a LifeStyle that my Husband and I created, Well That is an accomplisment that can not be read about. You read it but you can’t feel it until you do it. So Is it worth it? Absolutely! So Please take the time To Share this! Share this with someone that just might feel the same as you do, did or I did. And as always To Your Future!
