Can A Business Started In A Spare Bedroom Really Succeed?

We’ve all read those stories about people who started off with one tiny product, mailing it out to buyers from their spare bedroom and building up a website which gradually stocked more and more products as time went on.  Before they knew it they had a thriving business and they had to move into proper business premises and ditch their regular job because they were doing so well.But how often does this really happen?  Does it seem more common than it actually is, purely because we tend to hear about these rags to riches stories on the news and on the internet?Whatever the answer to that question may be, there is no doubt that you can start a business in this way and grow into being one of the best businesses around today.  It may not happen overnight but it certainly does happen, and it is probably more achievable now than it has ever been before, thanks to the power of the internet and the internet marketing sector.But as with every situation there is also a flip side to the coin.  For every home business that succeeds there will be plenty of others which don’t succeed.  But is that to do with the fact that the business is being run from a somewhat unconventional setting, or is it more to do with the person who is running it?The truth is that online marketing in particular tends to attract a group of people who think that making money in this area is easy.  Some people certainly do get stuck in and start making money very quickly and seemingly easily as well, but these are the very same people who get good results in everything they do, because they tackle it in the right way.This is the real secret that joins together all those home based businesses that began life in the spare bedroom.  The successful ones are all run by people who are determined to make something of them; they are all worked on regularly by people who don’t mind working at home in addition to their full time jobs and other commitments, because they believe that eventually they will be able to work on their own business full time.While working on a home computer which is perched on a small dressing table or shelf might not be the ideal working situation, it is what you do with what you have that counts, and you will notice that every success story you read that started life as a spare bedroom venture soon developed beyond those constraints in other more important ways.Perhaps the real secret is that the success stories don’t let those small surroundings hamper them.  They think beyond the surroundings and think about what they could become instead of what they are.  Everyone has to start their business somewhere, and if you have a great idea for a home business that could be run online from your spare room, there is no reason why you couldn’t join those rags to riches stories.
