The biggest myth about a home-based business is the I'm gonna "get rich quick" thought process. A home-based business is not the lottery and sitting back waiting for your numbers to pop up. A home-business is like any other business.... it takes work and time to build it into a full-time income. We all wish we could "get rich quick" and sometimes fall into the traps of promises of making an instant livable full-time income. Not to say people have not achieved it, but just as the lottery it's not going to happen for everyone by sitting back.
To succeed it takes time, dedication, consistency and patience. A home-business is a real business with the potential to generate a significant income if you play your numbers right. The key is "play". What do I mean by "play"? Well lets translate... Playing requires physical exertion or movement as does work require you to physically exerted yourself and get out and build a team. If you were playing, lets say flag football, and had to pick your team from a group of individuals how would you base your choices? Skill, athleticism, performance and more.... I guarantee you would look closely at everyone in the pack to analyze their abilities to create a winning flag football team. You have to do the same when building your home-business.... It may look great on paper to be able to say you have large numbers of people in your organization, however would you rather 3 to 5 dedicated ambitious people producing or 100 people just sitting stagnant not building and expanding. Another age old saying comes into play, quality is better than quantity.

I like to watch a show, The Apprentice, whether it is the celebrity version or the civilian version. Why? I may not be a number one Donald follower but he has achieved success and why not take a look into his philosophy. Yes, it's a television show, however when it comes down to the boardroom there are things you can learn. Why did he fire that person. Maybe you thought that person was great, but when The Donald gives his reason for pointing the finger and saying "You're Fired" it becomes clear what the error was that could make or break you in the business world. Sometimes in the world of entertainment you can find teachings and inspiration. Always consider every activity you do as an opportunity to learn.
Take your home-business seriously and don't treat it as a lottery ticket purchase. Just as a lottery winning is a dream so is a home-business... The difference is .... In a home-business YOU can create the winning dream if YOU put dedication and effort into it.
