So is it?

There are literally 1000's of people telling you that making money from home is really simple... they would have you think that if you get involved with their program that all of your problems will be magically fixed... that by some freak of nature their program is different than everybody elses. While this may be true, it may well be different the same old variable remains, and that of course is you. Now I am not about to go off into a big lecture here as to responsibility etc... if you want to know more about that you can go and read this post to understand how I feel about that. No instead I want to share a little known secret with people (I assume it's little known as there are not that many successful people around, something like 3-5%). Are you ready for this it is a kicker! All of these overnight successes only become that way after investing hours and hours of time in something (and usually something they were passionate about).

In today's society people want stuff now. We live in a world of instant gratification. If we're hungry we go out and get a quick fix from 'Fat Macs' or Burger King, if we feel that we that we are a little over weight we can simply book in for a tummy tuck or what ever... the point I am making here is that practically everything is available to us in an instant... it almost takes the fun out of doing a lot of things.

So what has this got to do with making money from home or becoming an overnight success? Well it is simple really due to the fact the people are out there  chasing the dream, there are people on the other side of the coin exploiting that. Have you noticed that every other offer out there is more attractive than the last? This is for a reason, I have recently read a great post on understanding what motivates your customer written by Shannon Lavenia (a huge success in the home business world) and what she says is so true... by reading that post you will understand what I am saying here even more. Now back to the overnight successes, ask any successful person and they will tell you that even though seemingly the struck gold overnight, it was a journey to get there. Granted some people get there faster than others, there is a learning curve that one must go through to get there. Don't get me wrong, I believe and know to be true that anyone can have success, and success beyond imagination, all I am saying is that it is not necessarily instant. Chris Howard has a great presentation of this is in his Best Seller 'Instant Wealth Wake Up Rich' . Success is something that you must work at... luckily it does leave clues and if you are driven enough to look for them then you can gain enormous momentum and become an overnight success and make money from home or anywhere for that matter.

So recently I had an epiphany, I was thinking about a conversation I had with a great friend and mentor of mine whom is known as the 'God Zila' of personal growth and it was about when being in flow that things are effortless (and they really are)  the thought came as I was making a post on Facebook about just that, being in flow. As on that day I felt totally and utterly in flow. The thought was this

'what am I doing that caused me to feel as though I was totally in flow?'

This is the best question that I could have asked myself. It allowed me to see what exactly it was that I was doing that gave me such joy and happiness and total blissful ease of success. And that ladies and gents is the key to making money from home when you know what is is that makes you happy about what you are doing, to the point where your loved ones have to ask you to leave your office because you are having so much fun doing what you are doing, then it will truly be simple to make money from home. Until that time then any one of the opportunities you see will be fine, reason being that there is a extremely good chance that you will fail in all of them.

So what was it that caused me to be in flow? Simple.... being of service providing relevant information that actually helps people (at no cost) and creating opportunity for others... it really is as simple as

that. By understanding this I am empowered to work from my strengths have a tonne of fun and enjoy what ever life has to give me (or I can just go out and grab it).

The irony of all of this is that it has taken me the better part of four years to realise this, so now it would seem that I have myself become an overnight success.

So yes, making money from home is simple... however as far as I can see... it has nothing to do with what opportunity you choose to partake in. Its more about loving what you are doing... Do you love what you do?
