So you're thinking about starting an online business from home. You have come to this decision maybe because: your tire of your job, you're working too many hours, tired of the commute, never get quality time with your family, maybe you lost your job or you want financial freedom. These are definitely great reason to think outside the box. However 97% of people fail in network marketing every year. They usually don't make it past four months.

Whatever that reason is, for a moment you probably thought that it would be fun to own your own online business and work from home. You can set your own work hours. You wouldn't have to answer to a boss. You would be the boss of you. So, you did some research and decided on a network marketing business. From what you've read online, all you have to do is work a few hours a week and the millions will start rolling in.

Before you get carried away on how easy it is going to be, becoming a successful entrepreneur. You have to ask yourself one question. "Do I want to be an entrepreneur or do I just like the idea and how it sounds." The answer to this question has to be crystal clear in your mind. If you're not quiet sure about your answer, stop reading this article immediately. You're not ready; don't waste your time or money. The last thing you want to be called is a wannabe entrepreneur, who wastes many years and tons of money trying half heartedly.

Deciding to become a successful entrepreneur is a big step. There are a lot of responsibilities that come along with the title. You must be extremely self-disciplined, focused, and determine to take action everyday and follow through until you have succeeded. You can't expect to lay on the couch everyday and think your business will take off. It doesn't work that way. No one is going to build it for you. Only you can make or break yourself. It's not easy to build something from the ground up, but it can be done. All great things in life take effort and energy to conquer. However don't be afraid to do, because you're scared of failing. You only fail if you give up completely.

Truly successful entrepreneurs will never fail. To them failure is not an option. Will they stumble along the way, of course? However in the end they will succeed beyond their own expectations.
How is this possible you ask? True entrepreneurs do what ever it takes to become success and then never give up, because they have to succeed. They put it all on the line and have nothing to fall back on. Here is an example of what I mean by this. It takes place back in the time of the Roman Empire. The Romans would travel to other country to conquer them. They would land their ships on the shore and then unload everything. The generals would then order, that all the ships be burned. This was done to send a message to the soldiers. The massage was, your either going to die here fighting or conquer the opposition in order to go home. This is the same way you have to view your online home based business. There is no other answer but to succeed.

So do you have what it takes to be successful or are you just a wanabe entrepreneur poser?
