Question: I lost my job and I think starting a business from home is a good idea. However, I am apprehensive, uncomfortable and unable to move forward to get one started. Can you tell me why I feel this way? Is there something I can do to help me move past this road block I have set up for myself?

Prefer To Listen?

Lalitha’s Answer: A Home Based Business owner or a self employed person starts her business from home, thinking that she has all the time and freedom to operate her business without any one to boss over her. In my opinion, there are ONLY two major reasons for starting a business from home.

o  One is to save the major overhead costs that comes up with renting an office and buying furniture, etc.

o  The second one is to be able to cater the needs of your family members, while doing your business without the need to SHOW up in your physical office.

Yes, it is normal to feel uncomfortable. Do you know the reason? If you know why you are uncomfortable, you will find a way to address the issue.  For example  you are uncomfortable because you don’t know how to Incorporate a Business . As you know the reason, you will read or find someone who can help you to incorporate your business.

You should be concerned about the discomfort that is caused by something that you, yourself are not AWARE of. This will show up as several distractions, out of which I will cover Five of them and reveal WHAT they ARE and WHY you should be concerned about them. These distractions can cost you in terms your personal time, energy and money, which the three sources of power. In order to run a profitable business from HOME and and lead a harmonious lifestyle, it is necessary at first to become AWARE of these distractions.

Stay tuned for my second audio, when I will reveal these five major distractions, that show up when you are not AWARE of why you are uncomfortable.

I personally experience the “Fear Of Unknown” most often and find that my clients and Service Providers also feel that way. As I love to work collaboratively, I always look for ways to simplify things, first understand, then be understood and create a Win-Win relationship. In this Video you can watch the seven simple steps that I personally use to eradicate my fear of Unknown.

Acknowledge That You Do Fear The Unknown

As you will see it all comes to becoming AWARE, acknowledging and addressing in simple and easy to follow steps:

Action Steps to Conquer Fear Of Unknown

To protect and keep us away from any danger, we are programmed either by our parents or authority figures, not to venture into the unknown. This subconscious programming shows up in our adulthood as fear of unknown and becomes a huge barrier for an entrepreneur. Some people may prefer to just brush aside the fear of unknown, without giving any attention to it and have no problem. However there is a vast majority of the population that tends to put off doing even simple things that they MUST do for their own development, just because of this eight hundred pound gorilla… “Fear of Unknown”.

Now it is your turn! I invite you to share two ways in which you addressed the fear of unknown?

My name is Lalitha Brahma, and I was a hard core salaried business employee for over 21 years. In November 2002, when my employer downsized, I lost my job. My colleagues always encouraged me to start my own enterprise and that is how I was motivated to become an entrepreneur. I was pretty confident about delivering services virtually and earning income, but I had the fear of managing myself without an assured income and that is Regular Paycheck.

Business Beliefs That Hold Us Back

My problem was I had the following beliefs:

o Business is not for me, I cannot do business and I do not have the skills.

o I must have a large capital for doing business

o My family life will suffer, if I get into business.

o I will need the support of Business Consultants, Lawyers and CPAs that are expensive to hire.

o I must be creative, intelligent and very influential to operate my own business.

To my surprise this was not totally true.

These were my beliefs and I had to work on changing my beliefs. I went from having a business loss in the first year to five figure profit in the 4th year. I broke my Regular paycheck barrier during the 4th year of my business.

It doesn’t have to take 4 years for you. I learned everything from scratch, the hard way. You don’t have to wait until you lose your job. There is a secret to breaking your Regular paycheck barrier.

Without learning the secret, you are destined to always think that some one else has to approve you and judge your Worth. I know you are curious to know the secret. Unfortunately, I can’t reveal it all in one page. I hate to see you curious, and let me share with you this true story.

I was blessed to be in a business management position right from the beginning of my career. When I lost my job, even though I had the skills and expertise, the thought of making sales calls scared me. I thought my communication skills would help me, but I was wrong. I had to work on my subconscious mind through affirmations to release the fear of making sales calls. This is very easy to do and easy not to do. I did it anyway and broke the barrier.
