		<description>Great post. Thank you

I believe the hardest part of running a home based business is having the belief to think you can actually succeed at it. The rest is all about hard work and following the right set of rules.

Nobody is born with the skills to succeed in business. The skills can be learnt, and so the old saying; &quot;its not what you think you know. It really is who you know&quot;. 

All the rules are the same, no matter what you sell or promote. And of course, the nieve people who think they can get rich in 30 days or become a millionaire in 3 months with just one website are the people to feel sorry for.

But you can make a successful business working from home, especially when it is so cheap and easy to get started.

I like your ideas and advice on your site, so again, thank you for that. Wishing you great success for the future.
Sincerely,
John Adams

		<description>Home based businesses are hard to do well. I&#039;ve seen a lot of people who just give it away because of lask of discipline, inability to work the hours, can&#039;t hack the total freedom or miss the regimentation of an office, meetings, or regular paycheck. What you say is correct. Get a good workspace and option it up nicely, get out to clients and meetings regularly, partition off work and home and then revel in how much time and opportunity there is to acheive.

We write about it a lot. (www.perceptric.com) Especially the way developments  that only used to be available to big business are now at ya solo player&#039;s fingertips; equipment like pdas, cellphones, printers, scanners and computers; customer databases, email blasts and direct mailouts (using marketing lists); blogs, websites and podcasts; the list goes on. And on. All of them hand power to the determined entrepreneur operating from wherever. When Des&#039;s phone bill can be almost nothing while he conducts business across the United States, cost and distance can be beaten. Which means Des can play with the best.

In the past you&#039;d watch a lot of top people leave companies and go crazy. No more. This sector is where all the action is. Its set to get beter and better.

		<description>Hi there Des, Thanks for such a useful contribution. You&#039;re right about the brevity of the Sunrise segment...just when you&#039;re on a roll it&#039;s time to go to an ad break! Re. our book, we deliberately avoided using the phrase HBB owners in favour of our own terminology (e.g. solo-business owner, soloist). While not all &#039;soloists&#039; are HBB owners, it&#039;s fair to say a vast majority are. The latest ABS stats say of Australia&#039;s 1m small businesses, 72.6% are operated by one person (i.e. what we would call solo-business owners or soloists) and of that number, nearly 80% are HBB. This number is increasing all the time, we really believe we&#039;re on the verge of a revolution of sorts. So it&#039;s great to see blogs like yours  encouraging discussion on the topic of going it alone. Hope to see you and fans of your blog over at the Flying Solo website (at www.flyingsolo.com.au) where new solo-business focused articles are published every week day. Cheers, Sam Leader
