Starting a new business can be overwhelming and even though home based business ideas are often said to be far better alternatives to a 9-5, the reverse can be the case if you fail to get things right in the early stages.
Infact, simply deciding which goal to tackle first and just knowing what to do, when to do it and the how of it can be a job just by itself.
Having done it myself, I've found this four tips really helpful to getting started right.
The first and most important thing you can do is to have an effective, simple plan to manage your day to day activities (and put it to work).
The second is to separate business finances from personal finance fast. It's easy to get things mixed up, and you can easily spend money either way without realizing it.
The third is to get to work early everyday. It is a luxury to get to work from the comfort of your home, but if you get into the habit of not doing work early, it hurts your business.
The fourth is to invest in your education. Learning never ends, and the more up-to-date you are, the better it will be when it comes to delivering quality services and staying ahead of competition.
