I wrote this article well over a year ago, but at this time of year it’s particularly relevant. Searches for Home Business information peak at the beginning of January thanks to New Years Resolutions and a desire to finally leave that dead-end job to work at home. So I wanted to republish this piece in the hopes that more people make the jump to pursue their dreams.
Some of you are still in a job outside of the home, longing to take the leap into home based business-land. Are you ready? Well, if you can say yes to at least ONE of the following, you had better start giving a home business some serious consideration. Three of them should be a wake up call. If you have more of five of them you had better stop reading this blog right now and start on that dang business plan!! (Come back later though for help along the way!!)
- Your work-life schedule has become unmanageable
- You have a dream that has become an obsession
- You are willing to do whatever it takes in order for your business to succeed
- You dream of business plans and of marketing strategy
- You are willing to start your new business in your off hours and give up some of your free time
- You have the ability to go 2-6 months without any self-generated income [either by tapping into savings or by cutting expenses enough to live off of one income]
- Your “I shoulds” and “I wish’s” are becoming “I musts”
- You have a nagging feeling that you aren’t living up to your full potential, and you have decided to do something about it
- You are getting little hints from the universe that it is time to put up or shut up
- That little voice that used to say “I can’t do that” is now wondering “Hey, CAN I do that?”
[Hint :: yes, you can!! Do it now!!]

Thanks for this motivational post, Wendy!
I was able to answer YES! to every single question, except for #6 (the one about having 2-6 months without any self-generated income). That’s actually the one thing holding me back from acting now.
I hope this time next year, I’ll be able to report back that I can then answer YES! to EVERY question on the list… and that I HAVE taken that leap!
Thanks for posting these - I might even print them out and post them on my board
