'Make Money Working From The Comfort Of Your Own Home!' - staying home and making money is the dream of millions of people all over the world.

And why not? There are no commuting costs, no spending hours stuck on a motorway, train or tube commuting to and from work. With modern technology and the internet its so much easier to set up a home based business.

European expansion means there has never been a better time to takeup this UK and European work from home business opportunity! Earn anything from an extra £200 per month to over £10,000 per month - ongoing expansion means ongoing income potential!

Dreams and reality are usually two very different things. But it is really possible to run a business from your own home that is more than a hobby or source of part-time income? You can get rich working out of your own home? and you really can trade your commute and suit for blue jeans and the comfort of your own home? But it needs hard work and dedication. Working at home in many ways is harder. For example there is no boss to make sure you get on with your work - so self motivation is key

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, as many as 70 million people will be working out of their homes by the year 2005. Government studies have indicated that as much as 75% of all work done in the USA could eventually be moved into the home!

Although these figures refer to the USA specifically, home working is a global phenomenon and similar figures do exist for other countries.

The bump - The overwhelming majority of home workers, however, are not exactly getting rich. The average work-at-home person earns less than a few thousand a year. That may not be bad as a supplemental income, but let's face it, its not really enough for the wotrk at home dream we all want..

We have put together 5 rules to help you get your home business off the ground

Commitment!

It's no secret that most people are unhappy with their jobs - study after study shows that most people simply dread going to work on a Monday morning - they live for the freedom of the weekend. But even that freedom is tainted, because we know that it is only temporary.

Many people hate their jobs but they have made an inner compromise with themselves. They have convinced themselves that their job is 'not so bad', it pays the bills, and that they can stick it out because they have to.

People who choose to work at home are doing more than just escaping the yoke of their master; they have made a deep, firm, life-altering decision which says that health, happiness and prosperity depend vitally on the freedom to work for themselves, and to be able to do so in the comfort of their own home.

If you want to be truly successful at quitting your day job there can be no room for such compromises within you. To be successful in a work-at-home situation, you should be nothing less than a fanatic; a zealot, who is utterly committed to making work-at-home not only a successful venture, but a profound commitment for life. You must be convinced that a return to an office job (and all it entails) would be the equivalent of a death sentence. Failure should not be an option!

Make a home office - and treat it like an office

To move your work home does not mean you should eliminate every single thing about the traditional office. Rather, you should select what is useful and what is not. It's a mistake to quit your job and then adopt a 'home-office mentality'. By this I mean thinking small and believing that you will automatically sacrifice a decent income in exchange for your freedom. This need not be the case so DO NOT THINK SMALL!

Working at home provides many benefits. You can save a lot of time because you don't need to commute and you will have more control over your schedule. You can eliminate many costs because you don't have the overhead requirements of larger businesses. You can cut your stress (and so have more energy) because you avoid many of the characteristic problems of life in the traditional work place. You must work these advantages to your profit...and THINK BIG!

Your International Headquarters

Today, to make the entire world come into your living room, all you need is a phone jack! We live in a unique time in history. Satellites, fiber optics, the integrated circuit and other communications miracles means that you can be just about anywhere in the developed world and establish communication with just about anyone. The telephone, the fax machine, the computer, the modem; all of these are not only affordable by any middle-class citizen; they are the key to eliminating your need to drive a hectic freeway everyday to get to a place of business outside your home.

With these devices at your disposal you can and should think globally. Too often home-based businesses focus on the narrowest market - the neighborhood, the county, the city or state. This is fine if you are providing a local service and are content with a certain moderate level of income. But if you want the big bucks, you MUST think globally.

Your home telecommunications machines will enable you to do this. As a home-based entrepreneur you will not have any of the disadvantages of traditional businesses. No office rent, equipment or expenses, no employees, no time wasted on meetings, no office politics and no back stabbing 'colleagues'!

Your home-based business should take full advantage of three major goals of modern business success:-

• Low overheads.
• Easy access to a global market via the internet
• Full advantage of telecommunications - specially with low cost or even free broadband telephony .
  
  

Make your Computer do the work!

Computers can do a lot for you in your plans to escape your job and make your work-at-home dreams come true. Today, by connecting a computer to the internet with a broadband connection (or even good old fashion dialup) your machine becomes more than a data storage system and repetitive task handler. It becomes a your link to the global market place

Your Business Hours

Ah! Yes, you do still have to work for a living! The global market is a 24/7 365 days a year market. Let the others sleep late on Saturdays and take Sundays off. Those times could be your day to move and corner the customers that the others miss. You're working for yourself now don't forget so there's no one else to do it for you and no one to blame if it doesn't work out! You should get up earlier and quit work later. You should be open for business on holidays and be available 24-hours a day, if not personally then through your voice mail or e-mail.

'But wait a minute!', you might be thinking at this point! 'I thought that working at home was all about freedom and an end to drudgery. This sounds like nothing but endless work!' - Well here's the thing - when you do quit your regular job to go to work for yourself you'll discover something magical. You'll discover that when you are working for yourself, when you're building your own business, a lot of what you do does not seem like work at all. The perfect work is that which you don't think of as work, yet doing it makes money and provides you with the bread and shelter of life. You'll come to appreciate this if you make a true commitment to being self-employed, put all your energy into it, and stick with it for the long run.
