If you’re a home based business owner, you know what I mean. Priorities shift constantly. The home based business accounting tasks that you meant to get done this morning are still waiting for you when 6:00 p.m. rolls around. And since you’re at home, well, you think, why not, and plunge right back into your home based business chores. Before you know it, it’s 11:00 p.m. You’ve missed dinner with the kids and only want to fall into bed, exhausted. Every home based business owner has days like this occasionally, but a steady diet of them can cause serious home based business burnout. Luckily, by using these tips on making the most of your time, you can prevent it from happening to you–which could ultimately save your home based business.One of the first things you should do is categorize tasks that are similar and do them all at once. For instance, make as many phone calls as you can during one block of time. Knowing you have other calls to make to your home based business clients will help you keep your calls shorter. And it also just makes since. You already have the phone in your hand and your phone book, if necessary, handy. Do the same thing with writing letters and taking care of email. Grouping your chores this way will help you make the most of your time.Another thing you can do to help you get more home based business work accomplished in a day is to set priorities. Write them down, and then look at your home based business to-do list. If there’s a task or two that won’t take a great deal of time to do, take care of them first, then jump into the higher priority jobs on the list. This gets a few things off your home based business to-do list that you may not get to otherwise, and over a period of days, those unattended to tasks add up to a mountain that seems overwhelming. Getting a few less important home based business chores done early in the day also has a psychological effect of making you feel more productive, and so you become more productive.You also want to build some breaks into your home based business schedule. Eating lunch and/or dinner at your desk in your home based business office is a big no-no. Make it a point to take meal breaks anywhere but in your home based business office. You might build in a short walk during the morning or afternoon to give you an additional break. You’ll come back to your home based business more refreshed, and this makes it possible to do your work more quickly and efficiently.Learning to say no is important too. When you’re just starting your home based business, this can be difficult to do. You want your home based business to be successful, after all, so it’s only natural to want to say yes to everyone and everything. But taking on too many clients or projects, particularly ones that don’t really fit with your personal and home based business objectives and goals, can end up actually costing you money, not to mention energy that you could put to better use doing your necessary home based business projects and chores. So before you say yes or sign any contracts, give serious consideration as to whether it’s the type of client or work that fits your home based business goals and if you can realistically take on more work.Some other tips on making the most of your home based business time include:Delegate whenever possibleOutline the work for any project in advanceMake appointments with yourself to do certain chores–and keep themBring in help if you need toOrganize your home based business office for maximum efficiencyCreate a filing system–and use itFinally, don’t make the mistake many home based business owners make in thinking working harder means getting ahead. Remember that saying about working smarter, not harder? Well, it’s true, and it’s also the best way to prevent home based business burnout.Charles Fuchshttp://www.charlesfuchs.comhttp://charlesfuchs.blogspot.comI grant permission to publish this article, electronically or in print, as long as the bylines are included, with a live link, and the article is not changed in any way.

There are thousands upon thousands of people from all over the world replacing their incomes, quitting their jobs and providing their families with a lifestyle of financial time and freedom all with a work from home based business. To be successful in this industry, there are a few things you need to have in your business. In this article I’m going to discuss 3 very important things you need to have in place to build a successful work from home based business.3 Successful Parts Of A Work From Home Based Business1. A Burning Desire For Success – This is only something that you can do on your own. You have to have the desire and the willingness to do whatever it takes to be successful in your business. Some people treat their home business as a hobby and don’t take it seriously. Those are the people that fail.Whatever the reason behind your decision to start a work from home based business, make that your driving force for success. Whether it’s to spend more time with your family, become financially free, traveling more, whatever the reason, use it and let it give you the willingness to succeed.2. Having The Right Support & Guidance – This is crucial to your success. When I started out in this industry, I fell flat on my face and failed miserably. Why? Because I had zero true mentorship, zero true guidance on what to do and how to be successful with my business. This is probably the #1 reason people fail in this industry.You simply cannot just start a work from home based business and know exactly what to do and how to do it on your own. To be successful you need to have training, support, and guidance on what to do and how to be successful with your business. If you do not, you will have a long journey ahead of you, much like I did when I first started.3. A Well Laid Out, Well Executed Marketing Plan – This is probably the second biggest reason people fail in this industry. No matter how great your work from home based business opportunity is, unless you have a well defined, well executed marketing system in place you’re going to have a hard time being successful.Generating leads is the lifeblood of any work from home based business and if you do not have a proven marketing system in place that is going to generate leads for you on a daily basis, you are going to struggle.These may not be the ONLY 3 things you need to be successful with a work from home based business, but in my opinion they are the most important. Find out what your motivation is, make sure you have the proper training & support available to you, and make sure you have a proven marketing system in place to build your business.
