You can’t identify them based on the strategies they use or the products they sell.  The techniques and niches of the successful  at-home entrepreneurs vary.

If you want to talk about who “makes it”, you’re really talking about a few character traits.  Those who succeed while working from home tend to have a few things in common.

First, they’re willing to take action.  Those who prefer to sit on the sidelines waiting for something to happen for them tend to be a poor match for a more entrepreneurial lifestyle.

Second, they thrive on being in charge.  They have the personal responsibility and work ethic necessary to get the job done without a lot of outside encouragement or enforcement.

Finally, the at-home success stories stay motivated by understanding exactly whey they made the decision to take a stab at home business ownership.  They relish the freedom, control, income potential and everything that comes with those benefits.  It keeps them on track even when it would be a lot easier to spend a day in bed or goofing around.  After all, there’s no “boss” around to keep them in line.

That’s who’s making it at home.  Action takers capable of being responsible who stay motivated.
