Should It Be A Job, Or A Business?
A general psychological characterization of the entrepreneurial spirit, says they are typically people who have a high energy level, set long-term goals, feel quite self-confident, and view money and financial security as a measure of accomplishment and piece of mind.
They are further characterized as problem solvers, who take risks, learn from their failures (as well as those of others), accept personal responsibility, seize the initiative, and use all available resources to achieve their success.
Entrepreneurs compete with themselves and believe that success or failure lies within their personal control or influence. They do not see setbacks as failures, but rather as learning experiences. Most of all, they exhibit persistence and tenacity, never giving up and never quitting the quest for success.
If you fit most of these criteria, you would probably elect to start a home business instead of undertaking a work at home job. However, the decision to work at home does not necessarily mean that you want to be the owner of a business. You may prefer working at home for an already established company. This is often easier to do than owning a business yourself and you may not want all the headaches, responsibilities and obligations that come with owning your own business.
Regardless of which path (job or business) you choose, the first step is to figure out what business or work-from-home opportunity you want to pursue. There are many excellent information sources such as public libraries and Internet sites that list seemingly countless home business and work at home job opportunities. The abundance is so great that it might well lead to confusion.

Work At Home Ideas and Opportunities on December 9th, 2007 12:12 am
People often get a misconception that making money in home business is like slapping up a website and see the money rolling in. This is a great myth along with many others. Internet marketing is not easy, and it sure requires a lot of hard work, learning, accepting failures, not giving up. Someone once told me when I first joined that 90% new marketers don’t make money in the first 6 months. So I guess becoming successful can be quite fulfilling then.

Building a home based business doesn’t happen over night. Finding the right products to sell, figuring where and how to advertise and getting used to the fact that money DOES NOT roll in right away.
But, if you have the drive and are willing to keep making changes as you see what works and what doesn’t a home based business can be vvery rewarding.
Good luck.
