Be aware though, there are downfalls too. One key potential downfall in having a home-based internet business is that, since you are at home, you become lax and forget to treat your business as the business that it is.Your attitude can become casual instead of the business attitude it needs to be.

Yes, working in your pyjamas is fine, but you need to have a ‘business attire attitude’. If your attitude becomes lax, so will your performance.You need to spend the time on your business daily. It is not a hobby – it is your bread and butter.

If you can keep it professional with a ‘business attire attitude’ you will indeed convey your professionalism to your clients and business associates and you will indeed have a successful internet business.
