How to Run a Home-Based Business While Keeping Your “Day” Job

Many people want to start up a home-based business but feel hesitant about giving up the security of an existing job. Some wonder if it’s possible to have a home-based business while working as an employee. The home business could grow, and when the person is ready to give up his or her job, there would be no loss of income and the transition would be made much easier.

It sounds difficult, though. How does someone juggle working for themselves and working for someone else? The answer is that people can start a home-based business without quitting their “day” job, and it’s not as hard as most think. Here are three things needed to double up the work without dropping the ball:

Drive

Drive and determination are a must to pull off a home-based business while working in traditional employment. To succeed, it’s an absolute must to have the drive to reach your goals. Anyone who gives up easily or who isn’t ready to commit to some hard work isn’t ready to start a home-based business in the first place. Every new venture takes drive and the will to succeed, which involves facing challenges and overcoming them.

If you feel that you’re ready to commit to working in two areas at once, and you feel that nothing is going to stop you from achieving your dreams, then you have the drive to pull off a home-based business while working your “day” job.

Patience

Since you don’t have all the time in the world to build up a new home-based business, patience is going to be a major factor in your success. Even those who do devote themselves 100% to building a home-based business require patience, no one gets rich overnight, and many work a long time to build a solid foundation for growth.

That doesn’t mean a home-based business won’t be successful quickly. It only means that to start a new business, be prepared to work slowly. Hone your ability to be patient when a task must be set aside for your “day” job obligations. Learn to pace yourself, deal with the stress and relax when you have the opportunity. This understanding and knowledge will only help you be more successful down the road.

Time

Finding the time to work on your new home-based business is going to be challenging. There are plenty of opportunities to work on your new venture, though. You just have to think creatively. Apply the time you do have available to your new business, such as evenings, weekends, and holidays. This may mean some sacrifices, but remember, drive and the will to succeed no matter what is involved will bring business success.

Find help in the form of family members, friends, and other professionals. Family can care for kids on your day off so that you can work on your home-based business or support you when times are tough. Friends can help with their support too, or they can possibly work for you to assist in building your home-based business. Outsourcing portions of your business building to other professionals can get you ahead a little quicker as well.

All three factors, drive, patience, and time work hand-in-hand. Without one of these factors, no business can survive. Learning time management and to be efficient using all the available resources are valuable skills for any entrepreneur. Building a home-based business slowly also means that you’ll have the best chance to do the job right the first time, since you can’t afford to be swept up in impulsive excitement. You may even find that working slowly at your home-based business while working your “day” job for someone else opened up valuable opportunities and learning experiences that you’d never have expected!
