Start A Home Business: Home Business Owners Make More Money Than Employees. Become One Today!

The reason why you must start a home business today is to create more wealth and become financially free.

A well-known author of a book called "Working At Home" by name Lindsay O' Connor, says that before you begin setting up a home business, you must ask yourself these few questions:

  1. Do I feel the Lord's direction to do this?
  2. Where do I feel called to excel and what really bugs me?
  3. What would I enjoy doing and what are my gifts, hobbies and talents?
  4. Does my spouse agree with my decision?
  5. Would my family be supportive?
  6. Am I suited for working at home?
  7. Is there a market for what I want to do?
  8. Have I researched my business decision?
