It really is possible that something can happen if you see that it has been done before by others. Its possible that if they can, so can you. It is no longer a pipe dream or some far out imagination of what it would be like to be in charge of your own business.
However the real question is will you stick with it long enough to make it happen? That answer lies with whether or not you either possess or would be willing to cultivate the mindset and skills to pull it off. If so, then you can do it. To what degree is up to a lot of factors not least of which is your willingness to learn and to take action with what you learn.
People have in the past and do now really earn money from home. Its a fact. So face it. Theres no excuse to give up without trying, or exclude the idea entirely because you believe it is not a reality. It is really not the case that ALL work from home ideas are bogus or that everybody doing business on the Internet is lying. In fact billions of dollars are being made by folks from home.
The fact is people have done it, and are still doing it. They are trying to tell you, that you could TOO! Many of them would be willing to show you how they did it. Of course they are still in business even after they have made it so far. Even if they rest on their laurels too long, they will lose momentum. . Business is one of those things it is always going on. Like they say, money makes the world go round. For better or worse, that is the way it really is.
It is no crime for them to charge money for their services just like any business. Because you want to show others how to succeed does not mean you are a non-profit religious organization. Because someone is generous does not require them to be a charity. Being giving is a definite asset even for a business. Its a strategy and no better or worse than any other business or advertising tactic.
It is not true that you cant start your own home business if you dont have any money to invest. First of all online business is 1/10th as expensive as an offline business in every regard. That means the money that to be honest it would be easier if you had, is also less. The concept of being in profit is so much more achievable when the cost of doing business is less.
So by the same token, it will be easier for you to round up some spare cash from yourself to save for your business; especially if you really-really want to start your own online business at home. What could you possibly sacrifice that you spend money on now? What could you live without to accomplish your goals? Skip the movie? Postpone the trip? Limit your spending that is non-essential? Saved money really does add up even little piggy bank deposits will grow over time.
Do it any way that you can. The point is to just do it for whatever it is worth. At least find out if you even like it because if money is the only object then you can always get a better job, or a second, part-time job. However if you want to build something of your own, just get started and do it!
