Hi Wendy,

I couldn’t agree with you more! Being an entrepreneur can be quite daunting, but I consider myself very fortunate. I had a wonderful mentor, Nelson Bates, who helped me make the transition from employee to entrepreneur. The best part is he’s now written a new book, Best Website: Simple Steps to Successful Websites, which is a step-by-step “How-To” guide to teach anyone who has dreamed of starting their own ebusiness how to make it past break-even and create a profitable website.

Anyone thinking about starting their own business online, I highly recommend starting out by reading the first four chapters of the Best Website book for FREE at http://www.BestWebsite.com. It is a great resource because Nelson first provides the big picture and then goes step-by-step to help you to determine everything from what type of website business to start to a detailed tutorial on how to file a Trademark with the USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office), domain name registration, web server set up, web design software recommendations and tutorials, including graphics, how to employ databases and hire out work.

If you’re someone looking to attract more traffic to your existing website, then please read the Essential 9 – nine valuable promotional ideas you can implement right away to boost traffic to your site.

Best,
Amber

Great post. I think I had all of them when I started working from home. It’s had it’s ups and downs, but it’s been an amazing journey and I have seen all my daughter’s “firsts”!
Thanks.

I was reading the list and realized I was experiencing 5 of them. Reading The 4-Hour Work Week has been one of my hints from the universe. I was also exposed to the movie “the Secret” a few months ago.
Now I have to admit, I’m not a newbie entrepreneur. I currently operate a part-time business but it has been more of a sometime business than part-time busines. This made me realize that I need to focus on to create the life I want instead of the one I dream about.

[...] 10 signs that you are ready to start a home based business. I’m very proud because I discovered the “You are willing to start your new business in your off hours and give up some of your free time” and “You have the ability to go 2-6 months without any self-generated income” principles by myself many years ago! And I have followed them since my early university years! I’m not that far of becoming a successful home-based entrepreneur . [...]

Great post. So many people get caught up in dreaming but never take the next step. Your post does a great job of letting them know that it’s okay to take the next step.

There are other signs too. Like believing you are very creative (even though you may not be, but belief is what matters). A belief you know something which others have missed. And perhaps some grand plan to make difference at a very hig scale. But too much daydreaming and little action can work against you. As in my case.

[...] Wendy over at eMoms at Home has a wonderful post entitled 10 Signs that You are Ready to Start a Home Based Business. She highlights one of the many joys of being a work at home parent: It’s days like today that I am MOST happy, thrilled and excited about the fact that I decided to run my own home-based business again. It’s been years since I was able to go to my kids’ Halloween parade at school. And I’m so excited for the rest of the holidays throughout the end of the year – I haven’t been able to bake cookies, do early Christmas shopping, or host Thanksgiving in years as well. [...]

Wendy,

I love the idea that budding entrepreneurs should be on the lookout for *signs* that it’s time. The Law of Attraction at work, eh?

I think our posts complement one another quite well today. I hope your readers begin thinking seriously about the signs in their lives and then head over to Mindful Entrepreneur to consider connecting self improvement with business success!
