Patience and Optimism Replaces Hope and Change
In 2008, President Barack Obama rode in on a platform of "Hope and Change". After more than two years in office however, it looks like Hope and Change has been replaced by "Patience and Optimism" - a much more realistic pair of attributes in my opinion. In a speech yesterday, he asked for Patience and Optimism in terms of waiting for economic recovery and the return of jobs to our economy.
What does this have to do with a home based business, you might be wondering? Nothing directly, but all too often, people start a home based business with little more than hope. They "hope" that it will work out for them. They "hope" they can turn it into a business that produces a sustainable income for them. But hope alone will not do the job as we learned from that 'hope and change' mantra - now silenced.
Along with "hope", there has to be plenty of action if a home based business is going to work. One cannot simply start a home based business, and then sit back and "hope" it will build itself. Make no mistake, there will be a lot of work involved in getting the business up to a level of profitability. Don't be tempted by those "get rich quick" claims which come in many forms; few if any of them actually work at all.
So there is absolutely nothing wrong with having hope. But it must be accompanied by patience and optimism, and more importantly, action!
