One of the things I said I would do with the Mona Lisa project is blog about my experiences of running the whole thing and I haven’t really done that. I second guessed myself again and reasoned that no one wants to hear the ins and outs of how running this impacts on my life.
Well, I’m going to start doing it because it was part of the original plan and I’ve come to recognise that it’s very much linked in to the project itself. After all, my personal circumstances are what drove me to create it in the first place.
I’m very much interested in the business creating a business from home. People do it all the time and so many people appear to be successful.
I say appear, because you never quite know. I get the impression that some people are very much ‘fake it til you make it’ types, and it’s very tempting to follow the same route, but I know full well that method won’t work for me.
Perhaps, in the case of a project like this, it’s more interesting and authentic to see the failures and successes and talk about them openly? I hope so because that’s what I intend to do. 
So back to the business of creating a business…
I don’t doubt that it takes hard work and commitment as well as a good idea upon which to base the business – but there are surely qualities that successful online business owners possess that raise them above getting caught in the everyday events of life and instead get on with building their little empire.
I’m thinking specifically of work at home parents.Those parents, who, like me, are juggling full time childcare with their efforts to make it online.
I’ll be honest, I struggle, and I have done from the start. I’ve been trying to find a way to breakthrough for over two years now and I’m still struggling.
That’s not to say I don’t believe it’s possible, I do. After all other people do it. But I do question sometimes whether it’s possible for me.
Obviously I believe it is, otherwise I would have been so persistent, but from time to time I have some serious doubts.
Yesterday for example I barely got to touch the computer. It wasn’t even a particularly busy day, but events conspired in such a way that I was continuously steered away from getting on with running this project.
I managed to get in a quick update in the comments section around the middle of the day, but it was midnight before I got back to the keyboard!!
I really wanted to finish off a post I promised the previous day, but there was no chance of that happening.
It’s not like that everyday but unfortunately I have no way to predict which days will be productive and which days won’t.
I have to be honest here… when I first came up with the idea of working from home, I thought it would be easy. I laugh at that now because I realise how very wrong I was.
It isn’t easy. It isn’t easy at all.
Or am I wrong? Is it easy? Do you find it easy? If so what do you do to make it work?
