Online Home Business in the Face of Adversity
I haven’t posted in a few days, and I wanted to come back and apologize for seeming to be out of touch. I’m still here, and this site is still here. What isn’t here is the training and software that I’ve talked about in other posts. That is coming. However, since I am sole producer for this blog, I’ve found myself backlogged and haven’t put up the training and written the inexpensive software. So, I wanted to say a few words.
This got me thinking about adversity as the motivation for people wanting to be in business for themselves. Perhaps this describes you. Some undesirable life situation that seems resolvable only by assuming some measure of control over your own income. I know that many feel absolutely desparate where income is concerned. The lower you may see yourself on the job hierarchy, the less control you may perceive yourself to have.
Or, perhaps you have a job that produces an above average income, but life circumstances, such as family illness and/or disability cause you to have, or make you feel that you have much less control or no control over your life.
Starting an online home business–that is, a legitimate home business–or undertaking any legitimate endeavor to make money, online or off, can seem straight forward on paper or on the mind map projection software, but when you take the real-world steps to implement your plan, many obstacles may present themselves.
Adversity is a continuum that runs between two hypothetical absolutes–total nightmare and realization of ideal scene. We are all somewhere on that continuum. The point of this post is to say don’t give up. Putting up your own busness may seem impossible given the prominence of adversity in your life. Certainly in my life, I haven’t been able to move fast enough to get the software and training videos posted to meet my targets. In the long run, it doesn’t matter–well, it matters, but it would matter much more if I just gave up. What really matters is persisting and bringing the goal closer to realization.
Having said this, I’ve got to run. Jump in the shower, feed the dogs, and head out to deal with the inevitable . . .
