For any business or project to be successful, there must be a plan, which embraces self-discipline, determination, focus, objectives, etc., in order to achieve set goals. Although, not always easy, and no one can claim "perfect" in anything whatsoever, but with strict adherence to rules, or guides, and constant practices, though trial and errors, greatness can be achieved.
Most people fail too often in almost all the things they do, not because of mere ignorance, or not being aware of the rules or guides, or not being hardworking; but because they fail to do what they ought to. The zeal, focus, and self-confidence are lacking. For instance, making a law and promulgating it is entirely different thing from enforcing it. So it is in the business sector. Establishing a business is one thing, developing it is another thing, commitment, dedication, passion, self-discipline are altogether different things. The zeal is the propelling force that aligns and positions a business owner or entrepreneur against every odd that brings about failure in business.
For those who enjoy dynamic environments and the cut and thrusts of being in a busy office, having a home-based business may not be enjoyable. It's tempting for people of this nature to create dynamism for themselves by finding activities that distract them from their own business. Not sticking to particular project may tend to give the false impression that things are in order whereas it isn't. If you're prone to finding "displacement" activities rather than doing the main job, make out time to prepare a "to-do" list. This will channel your energy and ensure that you achieve amazing results from each day's activities.
However, the tendency of majority of people extending their fixed time of daily work is always there if the business in based at home. Most likely if it's a business that started newly. Actually, the initial stages are indeed very stressful and the long hours are often unavoidable. Some distractions like browsing through your emails can be time-consuming. Self-discipline is both the keyword and watchword that ensures you keep focused on the rules you have set for yourself. With a few a occasional exceptions for real emergencies or key deadlines.
Alternatively, phone can serve as a substitute for the presence of other people you missed your fun working with during the day. The tendency to pass almost all the day on the phone is always the case, but has to be complemented with working lately in order not to waste the whole day. Make out time for yourself and get in touch with others but keep control of it. A large clock on the wall in front of you is a good reminder of how long you're spending on each of your daily activities!
