Everyday, increasing number of moms want to know how they can start, develop and grow and online business and work from home. Their quest for some independent financial freedom, while still devoting their whole life to their young kids, is inspiring.

And that is why I believe stay-at-home moms are extremely good candidates for running successful online businesses: they have huge levels of discipline.

They delegate authority well, arrange the daily tasks extremely naturally and create an automation in the household that just gets things done. Most of all, they utilize whatever time they have extremely efficiently.

This might not be true of all moms but every single mother I know fits this description.

So can you make it work?

While I know that every mom has the qualities and ability to run an online business, that doesn’t necessarily mean you can make it work. Distinguishing between the two are very important.

Can you:

• Dedicate an allotted amount of time to the business every single day?
  Good business owners are consistent in their efforts. Does your lifestyle allow you do allocate a strict amount of time to the business each day? It might only be 30 minutes before bed
• Deal with failure?
  Dealing with failure is a massive part of being in business. Are you mentally tough enough to deal with failures, pick up the pieces and start again?
• Generate concepts and carry them through?
  Are you able to generate new concepts and ideas and then have the stability to carry them all the way through to the end without getting distracted by life or other commitments?
• Reinvest a portion of the money you make?
  One of the most important points. Can you set aside 20% to 40% of the money you make and reinvest it back in to the business? This can often be the difference between failure, a minor success and a very successful business.

If you just know that you can do all of these things then you are actually further along than you think. The hardest part of starting a business is often developing the qualities and discipline within yourself to make it work.

If you have these skills then you are more than half way there.

Are you ready to take the mumpreneur leap?
