Even those of us who have made Millions in a home based business, yes I really did say Millions, are going to face obstacles from time to time. You may find it hard to find enough time to effectively work your business, you could be facing family issues, money troubles and other things can really slow a home based business down.

However the biggest stumbling block most people face when it comes to making money from home is…. Themselves. I know what you’re thinking. “Why would I limit my success… I REALLY WANT success!”  Think about this, why is it that some of us make 5, 6 even 7 figures while many people struggle to make any money at all?

The answer is simple, but sometimes hard to hear. You have to be honest and a little tough on yourself to truly succeed working from home.  It’s hard to look in the mirror and do a little self inspection but let’s give it a shot.

How many hours per week do you really spend working your home based business? If you are like 99% of people the answer is not enough.   It happens all the time… you sit down at the desk in your home office and you get ready to work, but instead of actually WORKING you do everything but work. You clean off your desk, you organize your drawers, you waste time on the internet, you “map out a plan of action”, all of those things might make you FEEL like you’re working! If you are really honest with yourself you will see that you’re really just throwing away your time.

When we are really being honest with ourselves we start to notice that out of all the time we spend devoted to working our home based business might not be as productive as we thought at all. Sometimes looking in the mirror and holding THAT person accountable is one of the hardest things in the world to do. It isn’t easy, but you have to do it if you want to become successful, it’s just that simple.
