…What Can You Expect?
If 2010 is the year you launch your own successful home business on the Internet, here’s a great essay you should check out.
It’s by Paul Graham, founder of a venture firm specializing in funding start-up companies. He recently interviewed a number of people who started their own businesses with his company’s funding. The main question he asked them was, “What surprised you?”
The answers make for some really interesting reading for anyone who’s thinking about taking the plunge and starting a home business online. This essay will give you some idea of what you’ll be experiencing in the months ahead. Although your home Internet business may be somewhat smaller than the start-up companies in the article, the challenges and triumphs you’ll face will be the same.
Here’s our favorite quote from the essay, from one of the start-up owners that Graham interviewed:
The emotional ups and downs were the biggest surprise for me. One day, we’d think of ourselves as the next Google and dream of buying islands; the next, we’d be pondering how to let our loved ones know of our utter failure; and on and on.
If you’d like a peek at what your life is going to be like as you start your home business online, read the essay now.
