Success In Home Based Businesses Defies Logic
Starting home based businesses is like trying to get a jet into the sky. You spend massive amounts of resources (money) to taxi down the runway, and when you’re about to run out of asphalt, the jet amazingly lifts up towards the sky.
Others stare from the ground in awe watching your jet get smaller and smaller in the atmosphere.
Once in the air, you can put it on auto-pilot and enjoy the ride.
Of course, those on the ground are commenting on how easy it was for YOU to get YOUR jet into the sky. But, you know how hard it really was and how many times you thought about quitting. And didn’t.
There was no way that you were NOT going to do it and you continued to surround yourself with people who were doing the same. Credit cards maxed, you marched forward knowing, believing, it was all going to pay off.
You attend events when you’re flat broke and you buy more self- help materials although you lack income. Neither directly makes you any money and everyone things you’re nuts and that’s exactly why you should do it.
It’s Illogical logic.
Logic is what the masses use. They move along in their little herds, they go to this school, they live in that neighborhood, they make this amount of money, they get that amount of vacation time each year.
They don’t believe it would be any different.
Now, go read the biography of any successful business person: Branson, Trump, Gates. The first thing you’ll realize is they are not like everybody else nor do they do what everybody else does.
Being “like everybody else” leads to a life of mediocrity. Pushing yourself out of your little box and out of your comfort zone will actually rejuvenate you but it’s pretty scary to take that first step – to start taxi-ing down the runway. Events and self-help material helps you to “push”. You begin to do things differently, you get excited, and you start to get different results.
Staying at home, watching TV or (fill in the blank) encompasses all of your old habits. Events surround you with people just like yourself and that’s when home based businesses flourish. To make a change in your life you’re going to have to change. Makes sense right?
Regardless, of what those on the ground will tell you.
Be big! Pass it on.

Books for Women Entrepreneurs
- There's a thread for good books in the Resources folder, but it doesn't target books for businesswomen particularly, so I figured I'd start such a thread here.
It doesn't matter how successful you are in your business - it's always possible to learn something new.
In subsequent posts I give Table of Contents and brief descriptions for various titles - most of them devoted to the businesswoman - and sometimes a review. If anyone else has read a review, or has read the book and found it useful, please comment!

Re: Trade Shows - Are They Worth It?
- HI,
I have used trade shows (not participated) to collect potential clients. For example, the Home & Garden Industry is extremely behind the time in regards to their websites. I attended an Home & Garden Expo in Denver and collected all the companies contact information. I plan on cold calling & mailing information to each business.
It also gave me time to research the industry more, talk directly to the owners in many cases, and learn more about what they need.
