Update and Stumbling Onward

This blog really is about starting your own home business online and developing its profitability.  However, I’ve been sidetracked thinking about motivational issues that might underly your/my business success.  And I’ve also been trying to put together some software but ran into a few snags that I’ll have to unbug.

One of the things I want to do is offer a number really simple, easy to use applications to help with various aspects of business organization.  I was working on a scheduling program but ran into problems with the installation.  Anyway, I want to make these so inexpensive that they’ll cost little more than pocket change.

I have some great video course material that I need to upload on how to use the Internet to make money, and I also want to get the small business basics series of articles up.  And then, of course, there is the programming problem.  Anyway, my point is that I have to go step by step, persist, and not be distracted from immediate goal.  Reaching the long term goal/s depends on meeting the more immediate short term goals.

Ok, so that has the ring of platitude.  Still, identifying short term goals and meeting them does help chart the course toward your primary target, and as you and I recognize the completion of the smaller goals, we are able to mark our progress along the way.

I thnk one of the big obstacles for single person setting up his or her own business, whether online or off, is staying motivated and not getting discouraged.  It is one thing if you have an MBA and funding sources and quite another if you are somewhat in the dark about business practice and trying to start your business by pulling yourself up by your own bootstraps, as it were.
