I recently got asked this question: "What is your greatest challenge working from home?"
My greatest challenge in the work from home biz world
Setting the bar higher constantly.
You gotta set your intentions straight and your goals high. Once you reached your goal, set a new goal.
It's hard to forget that your initial short- to mid-term goal is not your ultimate goal, but a mere milestone.
Let's say you want to be able to make $100,000 a month and you want to reach that goal within 2 years.
That might seem like a big sum if you're starting out with zero. But it's all a question of perspective, dreams and the reason for you to achieve that goal.
A strong WHY can overcome all obstacles challenges.
However, 2 years is not immediate enough. So you might go with a shorter time span.
I recommend 90 days as a maximum. In this example let's just say you want to make $10,000 a month and you set your goal to make $3,000 for your first month.
Now if you reach that goal after 30 days of making $3,000 not only this month, but residual income - meaning no more work for the same income - then laziness might occur. Who doesn't want to make $3,000 for doing nothing? You might feel the need to go after your set mid-term goal of $10k a month, because you have family or 3k are just not enough for your lifestyle. You'll feel the need to make more money and therefore you work harder.
Then eventually you reach your goal of $10k a month. It might take longer than 90 days, but you'll reach it.
Now if you don't have a family (or live in Ethiopia for example), $10k can be plenty. No need to do more... But why did you wanted to make $100k a month in the first place? Is it for security, luxury or charity? A combination of all? Independence.
Being aware of the reason for your goals is as important as doing the steps necessary to reach your goals.
Being continuos is the part were most people fail. They get distracted, side-tracked and give up to easily.
That in my opinion is the biggest challenge.
With that being said... you need to start first!
