The One Key To Work-At-Home Success
by Leslie Truex

When I first decided to work at home, I didn't realize I was in for the roller coaster ride of my life.

The rows and rows of work-at-home books (the Internet was not the vast sea of biz ops as it is now) led me to think that working at home must be fairly easy. All I have to do is pick a home business, create a business card, and send out some flyers. It didn't take long to realize that starting a home business takes a great deal more effort. I then started to think that there must be a company that would pay me to type or lick envelopes. After all, there are hundreds of ads for such jobs all over the place. The plethora of misleading business opportunities, scams and schemes led to disappointment and uncertainty.

I began to think that achieving work-at-home success only happened to "special" people. These people had more charm, more creativity, more courage, and more luck than I did. Have you ever felt like that? Have you had the thinking that some people have what it takes while the rest of us hope, tentatively try ideas, get ripped off, lose hope, and eventually quit?

The truth is the "special" people are not any more talented or luckier than the rest of us.
