If you're going to do something from home to earn money you need to be able to enjoy it.
And if you're good at it too that would make for a better outcome.
Many people have hobbies that they love and find profitable on a small scale.
It's definately worth doing some research to work out if there is enough demand for your product or service to expand into a full time operation. It also depends on your financial commitments and responsibilities at this point to determine your financial position.
A sink or swim attitude can be a good thing, quit your job and then you have to make your home business work.
That's why it's so important that you love doing whatever it is. The added pressure of perhaps drowning can cause you so much stress that the success can't come. It needs to come naturally and with a certain level of comfort. Now I'm saying that you shouldn't challenge yourself and break through old blocks and mindsets but a bit of planning can go a long way too.
Try and have enough savings for example to give yourself a designated amount of time to spend focusing on your business so you don't have to worry about the basics of living eg rent, mortgage, utilities, food petrol etc. Then of course the business will need some money too.
Depending on the business you may be able to get a small business loan from the bank.
Or it may be the type of work that you can build up on part time basis while maintaining your full time job, or go parttime so you still have some steady income for a while.
Time management is extremely important when you're trying to split yourself and your time like that not to mention your health.
Nothing is worth running your health into the ground.
Another thing to think about with whatever business you start up is perhaps the possibility of selling it once you have it up and running. Money from a business you have built from the ground is a wonderful thing. I recently sold a small ironing business.
I started it from nothing with just an iron, an ironing board and a couple of ads in the local paper. It's brought in over $10,000 PA over the last 3 yrs on a part time basis working it around my other jobs and businesses and I sold it for $7500. Maybe I could have got more but I wanted to make sure that my lovely clients had a nice person taking over their business. But I now have $7500 passive income which I am using to partially support me while I'm working on a bigger, better business.
What you choose to do it has to feel right. What I'm doing now as my main business is ethical, it helps people and is Eco friendly. What could be better.
Everyone is great at something, find what it is and go for it.
