I'll tell you I work from home and it can be a challenge to stay focused. I am 29 years old and have been doing web design, SEO and print design work from home for three years now. I feel that I have been pretty successful in what I do without and incredible amount of effort. I dont have a website, I dont even have local clients. All of my work has come from the referrals of three long term clients who live across teh country and I have never paid a finders fee aside from a little free work.

I make an ok salary which has been going up each year. Taxes are a bitch, working long hours can be hard but it is well worth the effort. Especially for me I have no degree in websdesign, I am completely self taught.

However all in all I am doing much better than most people my age who dont have a college education, what I do isnt the most ideal situation especially if you have a family to support. But I make a salary equivilent to most people my age with or without a degree. and the satisfaction of doing it all on my own (as you can see from my talking about myself) is great.


All i am saying is I did not find it very hard to create success. All i really do is work hard every day and keep my clients happy and continue to study and learn. Taking on-line classes for cheap and buying lots of books.

The things which are mentioned here are great ideas and have led to success for many a home business owner. Maybe I should try them sometime, and I will have to if I want this situation to be a long term success.
