I was once talking to my wife about exercise. I have been involved in health, fitness, and weight loss for years. We were discussing some aspects of exercise, and I mentioned that there was no such thing as a "best" exercise because exercise can be used to accomplish so many things and so many people actually find different exercise niches that fit them best.

My wife immediately came back with, "I know what the best exercise is. It's the one you do and don't quit."

Well, maybe not a stroke of genius, but definitely an insight.

Whether you're talking about exercise or running a home business or building a relationship, don't you think "something you do and don't quit" should be among the top criteria?

After all, what normal person is going to stick with an exercise program (or home business) if that program or exercise is boring and tedious and does not provide some overriding reward that compensates for the tedium (and occasional pain)? Certainly, after time the rewards experienced may cause the activity to become less of a chore, but generally the rewards at the beginning of an activity are often small or even nonexistant. Increased ability may help make the activity more enjoyable. But for most of us, our initial motivation is not going to be able to carry us through the period of adaptation and learning that will accompany the new program.

However, a program devised of activities we LIKE to do may very well give us the motivation to do it day after day.

Just like the "best excercise", everybody would like to find the "best" home business. That would mean leaving the boss, the time clock and the commute behind. Wouldn't that be great? Just the dream of leaving the old nine-to-five behind might not be enough to carry the new business owner through the initial period which often is comprised of challenges, disappointments, rejection, failure, and tedium.

Okay, so what IS the BEST home business?

For starters, I think the best home business for you might not be the best home business for me. By the way, I was going to keep saying "home business or internet business", but I figured out that was too much typing, so when I say "home business", just assume that I am also saying, "internet business" which is a kind of home business anyway. Okay, got it straight? I don't intend to repeat it.

There are going to be a lot of things to think about and problems to overcome with ANY new business opportunity. There will be finances to be arranged, schedules and plans to be drawn up, networks to be established, and so on.

Wouldn't life be a little easier if you started out in a business you knew something about? After all, might there be a reason for so many women doing well with companies such as Avon, Mary Kay, and Arbonne? Who might have the edge with Amsoil Synthetic Motor Oil in today's society? A man or a woman? I'm not trying to stereotype, it's just a woman in our society, is more likely to be knowledgeable about and interested in cosmetics than motor oil, and vice-versa for a man, and you will probably find that the leaders in each of those types of businesses fall into that female/male pattern (although I have been introduced to a gentleman who was a successful Avon distributer, and I am sure there are many ladies selling Amsoil Motor Oil.
