People start a home based network marketing business for many different reasons. One of the most popular reasons is to be able to control their own destiny and run their own show. They are convinced that they can do it better than the idiots they work for in their job and if given the opportunity, they will outsmart, outwit and be more successful working on their own. That is probably true for the most part, people are usually smarter than the boss they report to at work and they usually have more potential than what they are currently using or demonstrating in their work each day.

The question needs to be answered then; why do so many bright, intelligent, hard-working people fail in their quest to run their own show and build that dream of being their own boss with their home based business?

Here are three reasons from my own experience and observation that I believe cause people to fail in their home based business and succeed in their daytime job.

#1 Hard Work, Discipline and Structure:

What? hard work…you might be saying, “I work hard”, and I agree, you probably do work hard…at your job, for your job boss. Are you working hard at home? For the “You boss”? Really? Are you?

I know how tough it is to work hard at a job all day, come home and be mentally, emotionally and sometimes physically tired and then say… “ok, let’s go to work on the home based business for the next two – three hours”.

Or to get up extra early and work on your business before you go to your job.

The fact is: Most people work 40 + hours in their job, for their boss, yet during the free time they have to work on their home based business and get themselves out of the job they don’t like, they sit home and screw off – they sleep in. It’s funny that we get up early for a job five or six days a week, yet we sleep in on our days off when its our time to go to work in our business. We get up for our job/boss and we sleep in when we are the boss! At our jobs, we arrive on time, take our allotted breaks and lunch and work until quitting time. What do most home based business entrepreneurs do? They start late, take long breaks, go to the gym, rationalize that its OK to mess around today, surf the web, cut the grass, run errands and say to themselves…” there is always tomorrow, no big deal” and little do they know, they are sowing the seeds of their own future business failure. In a job, we have structure and routines which actually feed our success on the job and keep us busy making other people rich.

#2 Inability to keep a work schedule and have a positive /encouraging environment which promotes mental and emotional harmony:

In most jobs and work environments, things are usually, for the most part, supportive and somewhat allow you to focus in on your work that you have to do for your job. A big thing I see which causes people to fail in their home business is they are too distracted. They think that because they are home, they can start work when they want, work and watch tv and do the laundry and watch the kids and check their Facebook and text message their friends while they work. Most jobs obviously don’t allow you to do those things at work while you are on the clock (again – why you are successful in your job) yet many people who have a home based business think they can succeed in this type of distracted, unstructured, low productivity, drama filled environment.

#3 – Their “Why” is not strong enough. You see, generally, for most people, their “why” of why they go to work is stronger than their “why” for their business. I say that because for most people, they need their job to pay the bills, pay the mortgage and put food on the table. The business to them is a hobby where they really don’t see it as this very important resource that provides income. In order to work from home, before or after your job, your “WHY” – your reason for doing your business has to be so compelling, specific and clear that it causes you to be disciplined, work hard, use your time well and create a supportive structure which allows you to be productive and build a successful business.

If your child has special needs or a disability, special education may help your child succeed in school and in life. However, many parents fear that their child will be singled out for special education classes in a room separate from their classmates, so they avoid seeking out special education arrangements.

While this was the case at one time, current special education laws require schools to provide an educational environment that is as unrestrictive and equal for all children as possible.

Are you unsure whether your child qualifies for special education? Do you wonder if special education services would help your child succeed in school? The definitions of eligible disabilities have been greatly expanded to include learning disabilities and emotional challenges as well as physical disabilities.

Some of these definitions are set by the states, and the federal government decides some. Regardless of what type of disability your child has, special education is the best way to ensure that your child is getting the education that your child deserves.

Without special education services, your child may be at a disadvantage. Even with a caring and patient teacher, many children find themselves unable to keep up with their peers in the classroom.

Setting out a clear and fair special education plan will give you, your child and the school the assurance that appropriate measures are being taken on your child’s behalf in the classroom. These may include additional time with a teacher or special education facilitator, physical accommodations, or any other reasonable accommodation that the school is able to offer.

When seeking special education arrangements for your child, your first step will be to obtain an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) for him. An IEP should be developed for each child with any disability and is the single most important piece of documentation in your quest for equal education for your child. It outlines goals and objectives for the student, along with a description of which accommodations will be necessary to facilitate those objectives.

The IEP process begins when you or your child’s teacher notice that the child is struggling in school. The concerned party will request a referral for special education services, which typically will result in an evaluation by a committee comprised of school faculty and you. The evaluation will determine whether your child’s disabilities interfere with his educational experience. If so, an IEP will be developed.

When the IEP is in place, your child will have access to the special education services covered by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Under IDEA, your child is entitled to an education equivalent to that of a child without disabilities in the least restrictive environment possible.

The Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) mandate is the result of many years of studies. The conclusion of these studies was that special needs children are better served in the classroom with their peers than in a segregated classroom environment. The practices of pull-out programs, separate “special-ed” rooms, and the stigma of being a “special-ed kid” have changed radically in the past decade.

Children are now encouraged to flourish first in the regular classroom, with accommodations and modifications if necessary. If it becomes clear that this setup is not in the best interest of the child, the school or the parent may request a re-evaluation of the situation.

Recent studies have proven beyond a doubt that children with disabilities have more opportunities to thrive when they are educated in the same environment as non-disabled children. Observing and interacting with other children helps students with disabilities to maintain a sense of normalcy and develop their social skills. An inclusive classroom, one that includes special needs and non-special needs students, can also help the non-special needs students develop valuable social skills.

By taking down the barriers between disabled students and non-disabled students, IDEA has made the special education environment a more nurturing and beneficial place for your child to receive the education your child is entitled to. There is no longer any need to be nervous about the negative impact that special education will have on your child because the process has been refined to be as positive as possible.

The special education environment found in schools today is one that provides an improved learning experience for your child. With the help of supplemental support staff and special training for classroom teachers, your child’s school can provide the type of environment that makes it possible for him to thrive and to achieve all that your child is capable of achieving.
