Yes, you have to admit that there's no bigger high in today's cut-throat competitive business environment than introducing yourself as Mr. ABC or Ms. XYZ, an entrepreneur by profession. If you've been dreaming of running your own establishment (right in the comfort of your own home) and have a lot of questions in your mind (but don't know whom to ask); you need not worry anymore. All you have to do is read this article, which will give you all the information you need (and some much-needed peace of mind, of course!)

To each his own, they say, but most working people would have pondered over the possibility of supplementing their existing salaries with an additional source of income at some point of time in their lives.

If you are an office-goer, but are yet mulling over adding the word self to the word employed in the professional section of your profile, you need to do your homework in order to find out whether you have what it takes to be an entrepreneur. Please make sure you gather all the information that is necessary to be your own boss before you decide to call it a day from your busy schedule at work and, as a result, bid goodbye to your cushy job, your air-conditioned office, your co-operative colleagues and, not to mention, a fixed paycheque at the end of each month of course!

The doubts that are most likely to creep into your mind when you are deciding whether you want to make the transition from being an employee to running your own business (or not) are as follows:

• Am I persistent (or not)?
• Will I be able to adapt to change quickly (or not)?
• Am I a risk-taker (or not)? Am I prepared to continue learning (or not)?
• Am I creative (or not)?
• Do I have the confidence in myself to take charge of a situation (or not)?
• Can I do the math (or not)?
• How will I be able to market my business?
• Do I procrastinate too much?
• Can I trust myself (or not)?
• Will I be able to juggle my professional and personal lives successfully (or not)?
• Will I be able to put the needs of my business first (instead of my own needs) or not?
• Will I be able to concentrate on my performance (or not)?

If you answer the above questions in the affirmative (except the one about procrastination, the answer to which should ideally be in the negative), you might feel that you are cut out to be a businessman, but you will still (more often than not) find yourself attempting to find answers to your queries. Let us look at some of the problems; solutions and action that we need to take into consideration in order to make it big in a home business:

Problems:
• You will wonder whether you possess the self-confidence to be in control of every situation and challenge that you and your business will face in the future.
• You will (no doubt) be able to enjoy a lot of freedom, but you will probably spend your time making plans and worrying about what you will do with all that free time in hand.
• You will (obviously) be concerned with how you will create something special with the limited resources at your disposal.
• Ideally your mind should be free, but when you have to make a crucial decision (especially one upon which your future depends), your mind is bound to be cluttered with many needs and wants, such as the need to feel successful, the want of recognition, the need to feel that you've achieved something huge (and fulfilled a goal), the want of more money (to be in a better financial situation), the want of more resources (in order to build a brighter future), the want of independence, power and responsibility (to be your own boss and to be able to make your own decisions) and the want of prestige and higher self-esteem.

The solution to these problems is simple, and here is a set of steps to simplify the solution further:

• First of all, you have to ensure that your mind is made up to start a business. A person who is indecisive can never be an entrepreneur.
• The next step would be to invest a few minutes of your time each day to prepare yourself mentally for the third step, because these few minutes will determine whether you can successfully complete the following exercise, which is a very powerful one.
• The next step would involve writing down the primary reason (or reasons) for your decision to become an entrepreneur.

If you are still pre-occupied with doubts, you would find this tip from Jack Zufelt (the co-author of a book titled 'The DNA of Success' with Bob Doyle) helpful. Zufelt said that in order to achieve a goal, you have to know the exact reasons why you want the goal.

Once you have established the reasons why you want to run your own business, you have to simply take the following actions:

• Gather the resources that you will need to set up your own home-based business-namely invest money and time, hire employees, assemble machinery and get the materials you need.
• Build up a list of contacts. You would know a number of people that your employer was associated with when you were working for an organization. Contact them and let them know about your business plans and the type of business you want to run.
• Work hard and build up a lot of goodwill in the market. This is one asset that will go a long way in determining your reputation, both as a person and as an entrepreneur.
• Follow ethics and be fair and honest in every business dealing and practice you follow, even if you are running a business from your own home.

Dear budding entrepreneur, here's wishing you all the best and hoping your business runs successfully for a long time!
