Almost Had It-Welcome to the Home Based Business Bloopers Show!

Whoa! Maybe it would have been wise of me to borrow my son's baseball catcher's facemask today. 2:35pm on a Wednesday afternoon and there has been no less than 5 baseballs catapulted my way from the end of various bats. I'm here to meet up with my frat brother Tom to talk about what's been happening in both of our home based businesses.

It's the Giants versus the Cubs but we don't really care who wins, we just do this ever so often as a way to enjoy the fruits of our labor. Every time we get together we sarcastically thank our bosses for letting us have the day off with pay to basically shoot the breeze all day. We do this to celebrate the fact that we are our own bosses with our own home based businesses in which we call the shots.

While most people are slaving at their job, we're at a ballpark dodging baseballs and eating peanuts. Great thing about being here is that I'll still make about $200 bucks today from my home business and I haven't even done any work. An eight year quest has culminated into me having my ideal life.

Foul Ball! I got it! I got it! I thought I had it because I used to play softball for a local team. It's been years since those days- way before I started my home business and I quickly remember that I'm no athlete once the ball hits my knuckles. Hey, maybe this could spark a new idea for promoting a new product.

I started to blame my injury of my home business- claim that if I still had my nose to the grindstone at my old job there would be no ballgames- just work, work, work, then death! Though I'm a little bruised, I was the one who lunged for the ball, so I'm the fool, not my home business. And this pain is nothing compared to the pain of complacency-the pain that comes from being afraid to follow a passion.

Another home run, but I let this one go by without so much as a body lean in that direction. I'm deep in conversation now and I'm on cloud nine bragging about my home based business' two most popular products. My buddy is just as excited about some new marking technique he discovered that doubled his earnings from last year. As two more foul balls barely miss our ducking heads, we both have good news about forging a new partnership with an up and coming marketing company. Low and behold we're talking about the same company that has given us both the opportunity to grow our home businesses exponentially. If my old college chum thinks this deal can work for him, then I know I've made the best decision for the expansion of my company.

My, how time flies as we compare the specifics of each other's deal with the new rising startup. After expounding on a lucrative 75% commission split, my old frat brother thinks he's won the free beer the other has to buy for the one with the "Best Strategic Move of the Week". I quickly rebut with the fact that I may not be getting a seventy-five percent payout but I did convince my new partner that in order to use my home based business as a conduit for their products' mass consumption, they would have to match my advertising costs with money of their own; and they did.

The game had finally come to an end and me and my slightly bruised ego left feeling very grateful for being allowed to live the life I've always wanted. If it wasn't for my home business it would be impossible for me to do things like take cruises 12 times a year, work from anyplace that has online access, and watch my kids do what kids do. It started by me just saying what I wanted out of life and chasing my words with actions until I caught my dream.
