Home Business Success

Are you considering getting started in a home business and wondering if you have what it takes to succeed? Are you the entrepreneurial type?

I read somewhere that there are four categories people fall into by the age of 65.

Out of 100 people:

36% will still continue to work after retirement, maybe they are the people greeting us at WalMart.

54% are dependent on social security and/or pension – and unbelievably, most of these people are happy to be getting 50% of what they made when they were working - something wrong with that picture.

5% have died.

4% retire financially dependent, meaning they have enough money to live on.

1% are independently wealthy.

Now not everyone can be in the 1% category, as someone has to provide certain services or none of us would survive. But I know which category I am in.

So if you are telling yourself you do not have at least $1500 to invest in a business, take a closer look at your circumstances. Somewhere something went wrong and you have to decide if you want to change it or continue on that same path.

Which category do you choose? If you choose the 1% are you willing to back it up and take the necessary actions to achieve that type of success. It is your choice. Life is all about choices. We have the Freedom to choose and do anything we want.

Success does not happen by accident, it is born out of intentions and action. It starts with your mindset.

Here are some great books to get you started:
