How To Achieve Success In A Home Based Business

Patience and perseverance are required to achieve success in a home based business. If great success were possible only to people of great talents, then there would be but little success in the world. It has been said that talent is quite as much the ability to stick to a thing, as the aptitude to do it better than another. General Grant was quoted as saying ?I will fight it out on this line, if it takes all summer.? This statement shows a man of indomitable perseverance, a perseverance to which he owed all his success, for it is well known that he was a very modest, and by no means a brilliant man. Thomas A. Edison, the great inventor, in speaking of his success was quoted as saying; ?I had when I started out all the patience and perseverance that I have now, but I lacked the experience. Seeing that I had only ten weeks? regular schooling in all my life, I can say with truth that experience has been my school and my only one." "Many believe that my life has been a success from the start, and I do not try to undeceive them, but as a matter of fact my failures have exceeded my successes as one hundred to one; but even the experience of these failures has been in itself an educator and has enabled me not to repeat them.? The key to both General Grant and Thomas A. Edison character was endurance: the secret of their success was perseverance. The person who starts their home based business without the perseverance and faith to succeed is like the soldier who begins the battle in doubt, he is half beaten in advance and the person who loses heart after one failure is a fool to make a beginning. There is a great deal in good preparation, but there is a great deal more in courageous perseverance. The person who declines to make a beginning till everything he thinks he may need is ready, is very apt to never get started and make a failure. The greatest things have been achieved by the simplest means. It is the ceaseless chopping that wears away the stone. The plodder may be laughed at, and the brilliant man who accomplishes great things at a leap admired; but we all remember the fable of the tortoise and the hare; the latter, confident of her powers, stopped to rest; the former, aware of his limitations, persevered and toiled laboriously on?and he won the race. How many have almost reached the goal of their ambition, but, losing faith in themselves, have relaxed their energies, and success has been lost forever? Don?t let that be you; patience and perseverance will win your race and create success in your home based business. Persevere and whatever you do, do it with all your might. Work at it, if necessary, early and late, in season and out of season, not leaving a stone unturned, and never deferring for a single hour that which can be done just as well now. The old proverb is full of truth and meaning, ?Whatever is worth doing at all, is worth doing well.? Many a man achieves financial freedom by doing his business thoroughly, while his neighbor remains poor for life, because he only half does it. Ambition, energy, patience, and perseverance are indispensable requisites for success in your home based business. To Your Success! Carol Biondo
