Let's Start Your Home Based Business

Have you started your own home based company.  Is there something holding you back; maybe you just can’t decide on what business venture you’d like to tap into.  There are tons of work-at-home opportunities out there, but wouldn’t it make sense to start with your heart.  What I mean by this is simple and really, it is simple, real easy to start a home business when you start from your heart because your start up will be your passion.  This is the reason you want to start your home based business because you have a burning passion inside of you and you know for a fact that you can turn that passion into a profitable business, but your focus shouldn’t be earning profits, it should be doing what you love to do.

When I started my home business, I started it because I was laid-off from a job I despised and I didn’t want to even think about working for someone else ever again.  I didn’t want to carry the burden of having to go on job interviews and I didn’t want to deal with office

politics.  Why do these things that make life so very difficult on a job even have to come into play.  Why can’t we just go to work, do our jobs and from time-to-time, be heard when we want to implement our own ideas that we know for a fact will help to make things better for the company. Instead we are forced to deal with supervisors who think they have the right to down to you forgetting that you’re as much an adult as they are and that they have no right to talk to you in such a disparaging manner or tone.  This is unacceptable.

Okay, getting back to what I was saying because I’ll go on and on forever about working for someone else.  I started my own typing and transcribing business because it was something that I knew had the potential for me to earn a lot of money.  Magic Fingers Secretarial Service was born and passed away once I discovered it was not my passion at all.  I began to feel like it was a major chore for me to type dissertations even though I made really good money.  At first, I was thrilled to have started Magic Fingers because I thought typing was truly my passion, but I realized that owning a home based typing business was not for me when I discovered the art of design.  Now don’t get me wrong, I love to type, but for myself and I did enjoy it for as long as it lasted, but when I began creating works of art with my software program, a fire ignited in me and Cyndi’s Light Work Designs was founded.  It’s amazing how when I began creating my magnificent masterpieces, I thought to myself, Cynthia, you’ve been wanting to have your own t-shirt business for the longest and your

design business is the gift God gave you to start your t-shirt business.  Isn’t it awesome how God puts the pieces of the puzzle together for you out of His love for you.

My desire and initial thoughts were to open an online store to sell my design on various merchandise. I looked into CafePress and Zazzle. When I read about the commission, I closed both stores and just laid dormant for way too long because I just didn’t have the funds to open a physical store and CafePress and Zazzle were out of the question; my oh my  was I ever wrong.  I am one to research and research, but for some reason, I didn’t research CafePress and Zazzle nearly enough to know that anyone can have a great online store creating and using their very own designs.  Now I have several stores on both CafePress

and Zazzle; my only regret is that I wish I would have kept them open; it was a lesson I had to learn.  I am growing my stores and I am loving it.  I have to promote my stores to drive traffic, but that’s not too hard and when you have a business you love, its never hard work to put in hard work if you know what I mean. I thoroughly enjoy working all of my businesses and blogs.  Its like it just feeds me because I love to share my stories to be a help and blessing to others who may be thinking of opening an online store or starting a home

business of their own.

If you want to start a business working in the comfort of your home, don’t wait another   second.  What is your passion; what gifts and talents do you possess that you think would give you the happiness you desire and that you can use to start and grow your own business. 

Think of your passion as a career.  You probably have a passion embedded deep inside and you that you’ve given deep and careful thought to; well think no more; if you know like I know you need to just write down your thoughts right now, pen your goals, create a plan and start your own home based business.  If you’ve been equipped with all the right tools, your business cannot possibly fail.
