Every week, I get an email asking me, “Can you help me decided what business to do from home that’s best for me?” My response is always the same, “What type of business would you like do from home?”

Below are five questions you need to answer before you can move forward with any business:

What Business To Do Question #1: “What do I enjoy doing?” – Write down on a piece of paper (do not type it) the things you like and love to do. Whatever comes to your mind hit the paper. Do not stop writing. It does not matter small it may be. If you like or love it write it down.

What Business To Do Question #2: “Which of the items I enjoy doing would I do for free because I like it so much?” – Basically, you want to see if it is something that if someone paid you you still would do it for free. To be honest, you’re already doing it for free anyway. This is important because it has to be something you could see yourself doing for the rest of your life.

What Business To Do Question #3: “Can I make money doing those things (if it’s more than one)?” – This is where the work comes into play. You will need to spend soem time researching each potential topic/area to determine if you could make money doing it. Your goal is to identify people/companies that are making money in that area and to study them.

What Business To Do Question #4: “Am I willing to invest the time and money required to get my business off the ground?” – This and 3rd questions are often overlooked by a lot of people. Many blindly jump into something because they see the “income potential” and want their fair share of the money too! However, when you often chase after money you end up wasting a lot of time and making a little bit of money.

What Business To Do Question #5: “Do I have the support of my family to move forward with this business?” The last thing you need is additional stress on you while purusing your business goals. It will drain you and cause you to become unfocused. You must have the support of your family (spouse, children, etc.) if you will be successful. You can go it alone but your personal relationships will suffer and possibly fall a part.

If you seriously take the time to answer the questions above, you will start moving down the right path that will assist you to identify what business to do from home that fits what you love to do for free! That way when the going gets tough you will be having fun because you enjoy it anyway.
