Home Base Business and the dream of working from your own home, by your own terms and hours is a dream shared by many, but the unfortunate thing that happens, is they 'Fail' because they started it for all the wrong reasons.

This almost happened to me. My dream of having my own home base business was almost a distant memory until I was forced to make one of the biggest decisions of my life and that was to get a Mentor.

I'm not saying you have to go out and get a mentor, I'm just sharing with you what I did in order to make my dream a reality.

And my mentor wasn't just any mentor either, he was and still is the 1 Business Coach in North America who showed me and thousands of others what we were doing wrong and what we needed to do to make it right.

This was an experience I will carry with me for the rest of my life and think about everyday.

Who was my mentor your probably wondering?

Well... his name is Raymond Aaron, and he is the founder of the Monthly Mentor - http://www.monthlymentor.com

This man changed my life forever with his principles.

So with that said, what I'm about to share with you he taught me and is a simple system that will only take you a few minutes to do.

These few minutes will determine the right home base business for you, whether it's online or offline, so you don't fall victim to failure like many home base business start-ups do.

So... with that said, in these next few paragraphs I'm going to show you how to pick the right business for you to start by using a simple little system I was shown that takes only a few minutes to do.

Believe me, this will not be as stressful as you think.

The first step...

1. Step: Get a pen/pencil and note pad.
   
   This is the easy step. All you have to do Right Now is get a pen/pencil and note pad to write on for the next step coming up.
   
   Do you have your pen/pencil and note pad yet?
   
   
2. Step: Write down your Top 10.
   
   This is where your going to have to use your brain a little bit because this Top 10 list your about to write down are the Top 10 home base businesses you would like to start-up based on your interests and passions.
   
   Please... take a few minutes to do this. There's no need to rush.
   
   
3. Step: Get rid of five of your Top 10.
   
   Okay, now it's time to make some cuts. This is where you have to really think about the 10 home base business start-ups you have written down infront of you.
   
   Look at them good and hard.
   
   Now it's time to get rid of the five you would most likely not want to start.
   
   Pick wisely.
   
   
4. Step: Now get rid of two more.
   
   It's now time to break it down your list even more by getting rid of two more of the five home base business start-ups you have listed infront of you on your note pad.
   
   Remember what we are trying to do here. We're trying to figure out the best home base business for you.
   
   After this step you should only be looking at three home base business start-ups that you really want to start.
   
   
5. Step: Your Final Decision.
   
   Now it's time for your Final decision.
   
   It all comes down to this last step so make sure you make the right choice for it is the one you're go run with to make your entrepreneurial dreams come true.
   
   Of the three you have left on the note pad infront of you choose the one that you know you would excel at and are passionate about doing Day In and Day Out.
   
   This is a Big decision.
   
   Take a few minutes to really think this through... okay.
   
   Go for a walk if you have to or even sleep on it and decide in the morning.
   
   It's up to you.

That's all there is to it.

I know it seems simple from reading this article, and it is if you know how to simplify the process and not make it more difficult then it really has to be.

People always seem to take the hard route at these kinds of decisions(I was one of them) when it really doesn't have to be, so if you haven't already done so, go through the five steps above and give them a try so you don't fall victim to becoming one of those home base business failures, and become one of those home base business "Successes" doing what it is you are most passionate about and love doing everyday.
