Do you have what it takes to be an e-entrepreneur?

These days, it seems like everyone wants to work

from home and make money on the Internet. But

before you even turn on your computer, the first

question you have to ask yourself is whether

you're cut out for this kind of work.

The fact is, building a home-based business isn't

for everyone. Some people like the commute. They

really do enjoy having a boss who tells them what

to do, and they like the routine of working

nine-to-five for an ordinary salary that can

barely pay the mortgage. Personally, I think

they're nuts.

More reasonably, there are people who are

concerned about the risk of starting up their own

business. They're not sure it's worth the

investment of time and money, and they're scared

of the responsibility that comes with running

their own company. They wonder if there is

another way to escape the rat race.

I'm sure there is. You could win the lottery or

wait for your Aunt Sue to keel over and leave you

her condo. Or maybe you could sit down with a pen

and paper and draw the blueprint for "The Next

Big Thing". Anything can happen... Right?

For me, what happened was creating a successful,

self-running Internet marketing system. It didn't

happen without effort. It didn't happen without

at least some initial investment of both time and

money and, of course, it doesn't happen now

without me making sure that the taxes are filed

and the paperwork is done. But it happened.

I'm my own boss. I work from home according to my

own schedule and I get to pocket all the cash my

business makes. If you're prepared to give an

e-business the time, the work and the money it

needs to get started and get growing, it can

happen for you too.
