Starting a Global Business from Home
10 Questions to Ponder Before Starting Your Global Business
Tired of your job? Need a change? Looking to create another source of income? Are you ready to set up a global home business? Before going any further, answer these 10 questions thoughtfully. Your answers will prove vital in determining whether or not to move forward in setting up your home business. Sure, it may seem arbitrary to spend time answering questions when so many other tangible tasks must be completed, but this step is truly the most important part in the whole set up process. Why? You want to make sure your home business dreams match with your current reality. Your reputation, financial risk and time could be at risk.
- Why do you want to start your own global business? This question will be what motivates you to keep going in your home business. Since many people will move from a ‘job mentality” to an “entrepreneur mentality” it will be important to have a very compelling reason to want to start a home business.
- What is your product/service offering and what makes it better than the competition? Spend some time knowing what EXACTLY your USP-unique selling proposition is. Unless you are a first to market product/ service you will face some stiff competition so know your USP.
- Who is your target customer or client? It’s important to know your customer so that you can create a marketing program tailored just for your target customer or client. Without a constant flow of customer or clients you won’t have the revenue to stay in business.
- How will you afford the start-up costs of your business? All businesses have some start-up costs. Make sure you are well capitalized in the beginning and know what it will truly take to launch your home business.
- When will you work on your home business, especially if you are a stay-at-home parent? Whether you will operate a part time or full time business, it’s important to “time block” when you will physically and mentally be working your business. If you want to succeed in your home business, you must treat it like a business. You shouldn’t let home life distractions keep you from working your business.
- Where will you work on your home business? Dedicate some space in your home just for your home office. It can be a spare bedroom or common area, just keep it in an area where you can focus and not be distracted while you work and build your home business.
- Are you comfortable self-promoting you, your product and/or your service? No one can promote your home business better than you. You must truly believe in your product or service so that when you share it with other people they can tell that you unequivocally believe in your product or service.
- Are you a self-motivated person by nature? In home business, there is no one standing over your shoulder to ensure your work gets done. It takes pure will power and self-motivation to run a successful business out of your home.
- What does your family think about you working out of the home? Having a supportive family is critical. A family must know the boundaries. That is, when you are on the phone, meeting with clients at your home or hosting home events that you are running a professional (albeit fun) business.
- Are you willing to make the sacrifices necessary in order to spend the amount of time required for a successful home business? Building a successful home business is not built around a comfortable schedule. You might have to pass on your “American Idol” shows and give up the bowling league so that you can work your home business.
Once you have spent time contemplating your answers to the questions above, determine if your answers point you towards starting a home business. If so, it is time to move to the next step. Get your initial investment and costs ready. Now we determine whether or not your business idea has the potential to be successful. Spend some time going through these questions before you even think about starting your home business. It takes GUTS to start a global business. The question is, “Do you have them?”

Hey, my hubby and I really like your blog. 🙂 We’re both bloggers ourselves, and he insisted that I message you. We used to spend a bunch of time writing blog posts, giving are all, but we weren’t making much moolah, hehe. That is until we found this site: http://www.daily-profits-online.info The guide (which is free for the next day or two I think) taught us how to actually turn our blog posts into COLD HARD CASH. Cool, right?! It took a couple days to get a hang of it, but now we’re making $5,000+ A MONTH…EACH! Give it a look, I hope it helps you as much as it did us. 🙂 http://www.daily-profits-online.info

Hi there! I know this is kinda off topic however I’d figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest writing a blog article or vice-versa? My website addresses a lot of the same subjects as yours and I think we could greatly benefit from each other. If you might be interested feel free to shoot me an e-mail. I look forward to hearing from you! Superb blog by the way!

I just added this weblog to my feed reader, great stuff. Can’t get enough!
Thank you for adding me to your feed!
This design is incredible! You obviously know how to keep a reader entertained. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Wonderful job. I really loved what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it. Too cool!
Thank you Fontanna!
Hello there! This is my first comment here so I just wanted to give a quick shout out and say I genuinely enjoy reading through your blog posts. Can you suggest any other blogs/websites/forums that deal with the same subjects? Thanks for your time!
There are so many. Here are a few of my friends- http://www.deanethridge.com, http://www.prosper911.com, http://www.talkfusiondeafteam.com
Wow! This blog looks exactly like my old one! It’s on a totally different subject but it has pretty much the same page layout and design. Outstanding choice of colors!
Thank you…I like the layout too!!
Very good blog! Do you have any tips for aspiring writers? I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you recommend starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m totally confused .. Any ideas? Thank you!
Send me a message jimmy@jimmyezzell.com with the best way to connect with you.
Hey! I know this is kinda off topic but I’d figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest authoring a blog article or vice-versa? My site goes over a lot of the same topics as yours and I feel we could greatly benefit from each other. If you might be interested feel free to shoot me an e-mail. I look forward to hearing from you! Excellent blog by the way!
Sure! Send me a message to what you are thinking about.
Howdy would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re using? I’m looking to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a tough time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique. P.S Sorry for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
I use WordPress. Here is a great article to help: http://jimmyezzell.com/get-a-free-blog/
I was curious if you ever considered changing the structure of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?
Thanks for the tip…I’ll consider it!
Hello there! Would you mind if I share your blog with my facebook group? There’s a lot of people that I think would really appreciate your content. Please let me know. Thanks
Not at all…please share away. Thank you in advance!!
Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point. You clearly know what youre talking about, why throw away your intelligence on just posting videos to your site when you could be giving us something enlightening to read?
Getting better every day! Thanks for reading my posts!!
Hello! Quick question that’s totally off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My blog looks weird when viewing from my apple iphone. I’m trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able to resolve this problem. If you have any recommendations, please share. With thanks!
It’s probably your theme. Send a support ticket in.
Fantastic blog! Do you have any hints for aspiring writers? I’m hoping to start my own blog soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you advise starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m completely overwhelmed .. Any recommendations? Kudos!
I can tell you EXACTLY what I did to get my blog rocking! Give me a call- 913.207.2264.
My partner and I stumbled over here from a different web address and thought I might check things out. I like what I see so now i’m following you. Look forward to looking into your web page again.
I’m really enjoying the theme/design of your weblog. Do you ever run into any browser compatibility problems? A few of my blog readers have complained about my site not operating correctly in Explorer but looks great in Opera. Do you have any ideas to help fix this problem?
I’m not really sure why you are having problems. Could be a several things causing it…
It’s a pity you don’t have a donate button! I’d definitely donate to this outstanding blog! I guess for now i’ll settle for bookmarking and adding your RSS feed to my Google account. I look forward to brand new updates and will talk about this blog with my Facebook group. Talk soon!
Thank you! Glad you like it!!

Hey there, I think your website might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your blog in Safari, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, terrific blog!
Thanks….I’ll have to check it out!
Appreciating the persistence you put into your blog and in depth information you offer. It’s good to come across a blog every once in a while that isn’t the same old rehashed material. Excellent read! I’ve saved your site and I’m including your RSS feeds to my Google account.
Thank you! I hope you enjoy my posts!!
There are some interesting points in time in this article but I don’t know if I see all of them center to heart. There is some validity but I will take hold opinion until I look into it further. Good article , thanks and we want more! Added to FeedBurner as well0you have a great blog here! would you like to make some invite posts on my blog?
Thank you for your comments! Tell me what your website is.
Today, I went to the beach front with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!
LOL! Wishing you the BEST year ever!!
Hey there would you mind letting me know which webhost you’re utilizing? I’ve loaded your blog in 3 different internet browsers and I must say this blog loads a lot faster then most. Can you recommend a good internet hosting provider at a reasonable price? Thanks, I appreciate it!
I use GoDaddy.com. Wish you much success with your Blog!
Thanks for the marvelous posting! I genuinely enjoyed reading it, you can be a great author.I will remember to bookmark your blog and definitely will come back from now on. I want to encourage yourself to continue your great work, have a nice day!

I’m really enjoying the design and layout of your site. It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more pleasant for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a designer to create your theme? Superb work!
