Are You Motivated Enough To Become Your Own Boss?

By Howe Russell


Motivation can be a key factor when trying to make money online, with affiliate programs like Empower Network even basing their business model upon it. So today we ask and answer the all important question. How important is motivation when you're trying to work from home?

There are two scenarios which people tend to see when they try to build an income from home. Some will see all the big, bold claims of automated systems doing all the work while you kick back on a beach and enjoy life, while others will see it as an opportunity to build their brand the same way they would if they were opening a business offline. Which scenario they see often depends purely upon what the person themselves is looking for.

A shockingly high percentage of the daily searches for home business opportunities come from individuals who have no intention of starting a home business. They're looking for a winning lottery ticket. They have the wrong idea of how internet marketing works because of the false marketing in the industry itself.

Why not market so these people can learn that the internet isn't the easy answer they thought it would be? Simple, most are too impatient and don't want to learn. Therefore, there will be countless companies out there waiting to take the money of those who are gullible enough to continuously fall for the hype of the next big thing on the MLM scene.

The type of person we have just described is not motivated enough to become their own boss. Quite frankly, they are not even looking to become their own boss, they just wanted to see if they really could 'get rich quick'.

Despite the fact that they're trying to build an income for themselves, most people quit because they put a massive amount of pressure on themselves to succeed overnight. By overnight, we mean within the first six months. That's no way to run a good business! Watch how successful entrepreneurs work and you'll notice that everything is distinctly more long-term. [

Countless affiliates in MLM programs around the world spend their days posting inspirational quotes on their social media pages but very few of them possess the drive to live their life and handle their business with the same drive they speak of in their posts. Motivation is a very good tool if used wisely, but it's useless if no action is taken.

Despite all the brash claims of just 'making it happen' that you will see associated with motivational material for opportunities like Empower Network and other affiliate driven businesses, the reality is far different to the success stories. If you have ambitions of being able to make money online you need to be a very motivated and self confident person. Your confidence will be tested, because nobody reaches success without first coming up against adversity. Being your own boss can be lonely, so spend some time asking yourself whether you have what it takes before you jump in.
