but to tell the truth, even that wasn't very satisfying. I started to dread going to the office every day and began to daydream about going into business for myself again.

I love the whole process of conjuring up a business out of thin air, operating on a shoestring if necessary, and bootstrapping my way to CEO. It gets the creative juices flowing and makes my heart sing. I've done this several times and I enjoy the process.

First, I get an idea for a business. Then I do market research to explore the viability of the idea; I test the waters with some direct response advertising; and then I plunge full steam ahead. I take the business as far as I can on my own and then I sell it to someone else who wants to take it to the next level.

That's my modus operandi and it works for me.

If you are self-motivated and focused, you may be ready to start a home based business, too. If you're considering it, I assume you have the necessary skills to proceed, such as sales and marketing skills, computer skills and time management skills.

A key ability that I consider tremendously important - which you may not have considered -- is the ability to work in spite of your fears, such as the fear of failure, the fear of success, or the fear of rejection. No matter how seasoned, self-confident, and professional you are, to be successful in a home based business, you must be prepared to work through the emotional highs and lows of being in business for yourself.

When you are the CEO, the buck stops where you are.

There are no guarantees that you will be successful, but then, that's part of the fun. Bootstrapping your way to CEO in a business of your own creation will test your mettle. Are you ready to discover what you're made of?
