Defining Success Whether or not you succeed depends on how you define success. One reason that many people never try working at home is because they have unreasonable expectations of what they can get out of it. Now, I am not saying that you cannot earn a really nice living, but it seems that many people want to ditch the job this week, and come home and start making MORE at home than they earned at their job, while putting in LESS time than they did at work. That is not a realistic expectation! Any business takes time to build. Success is not what happens first, it is what you make of it after you have put your best effort forward. It takes 2 years on average for a business to turn a good profit. I define success as "enough". At times during my life, I have had to redefine what "enough" was! It is usually less than I want it to be! But if we have a roof over our heads that does not leak and is not in danger of repossession, if our gas and electricity are not in danger of disconnect, if the kids medical needs are met, and nobody is going hungry, and if they manage to stay clothed in neat and clean clothing, it is enough. We have a car that is reliable - two of them in fact, both with over 100,000 miles on them, but running well and with plenty of life left in them (this is a critical thing in Wyoming, this state eats cars!). Sure, we have to get a quote on some repairs ahead of time so we can plan for them, but they get done anyway! Sometimes they have to wait longer than we'd like, but it is enough. This might not be enough for some people. I understand that. But figure out what enough is. Then realistically figure out whether it is a reasonable expectation. Any person who starts a business and makes it work, to any significant degree, is a success. Anyone who makes it support their family, or even just take the place of a second job, is a success. A multi-million dollar income is not necessary to define success.
