Every once and a while it’s important to stop thinking in terms of the practical aspects of self-employment and focus on what a substantial opportunity means to your lifestyle. Do this to motivate yourself and set income goals. When you start a home-based business your income goals are completely up to you, so you should give some thought as to what kind of lifestyle you want to lead.

Let’s break down your lifestyle into three target areas. Think about what they mean to you.

Freedom: This is the ability to set your own hours, goals and working style. I like having the freedom to work from anywhere I feel like and to schedule vacations and meetings at a moment’s notice. Some people like setting up their schedules months and even years ahead of time . . . but I’m not one of those guys. What about you?

Leisure: How much time do you want to spend just having fun? I’m not talking about fun while you work (though I do like my work to be fun, too!), but vacations, breaks and personal time. If you have a family, your working hours will affect how much of your undivided attention you’ll be able to give them. In terms of setting goals, the way to more leisure time is efficient work time. You want every hour you spend working to be as lucrative as possible, because it gives you more time to not work.

Satisfaction: One of the reasons a normal 9 to 5 job is a real drag is because when it comes right down to it, you’re working to help someone else get rich. Job satisfaction is about reaping the rewards of your own labor, without wondering if you really deserve more than you’re getting. The great thing about a home-based business is that you never need to ask that question — and the great thing about generating a substantial income out of it is that it represents the fact that you deserved to succeed.

It all boils down to time. A substantial income opportunity lets you make more in less time, and a home-based business lets you do work whenever you want. Together, they give you the ability to choose your own lifestyle, with the freedom, leisure and satisfaction you desire. All you need is a map to get there.
