6. Confusing Message. Be precise and specific on the exact benefits that your home business provides. And make it easy for people to contact you.
7. Choosing Wrong Audiences. A market that cannot pay or an audience that is too small results in disaster. Poor people desperately need medical or legal services, but who is going to pay you? The same when attempting to reach people that are dispersed over a large area and not easily identified.
8. Too Little Relationship Building. Advertising works well for products where customers see the results. Intangible services are difficult to advertise and are mostly purchased based on the quality of the relationship. The more people know you, your professionalism and quality, the more business you will do. Build large networks of relationships.
9. Having a Product or Service that Fails to Product as Promised. Don't be incompetent. Use current technology and don't be sloppy in your delivery. Only one mistake can undermine client confidence and trust. Do your best everyday and everytime!
10. Laziness and Greed. To succeed with a home business, you must serve your customers! Sure, you must make a profit to serve them, but service is the key to success. The statement "I want to be my own boss with a business that supports me." may be true, but you still need to focus on customers first!
