Starting An Internet Business - Hermits And Party Animals

Starting an Internet business can be a life changing experience. Whether
the change is for the better or the worse, depends upon you making the right
choices when you are first considering the idea of starting an Internet
business. If you start an Internet business that is wrong for you, it will
very likely be a miserable experience right from the beginning and swiftly
end in failure.
Before you even take the first step towards starting an Internet business,
long before you start thinking about domain names and design, you should
think about your personality type and decide whether starting an Internet
business is really the right direction for you to take.

Are you the type of person who is happiest working alone and gets so
involved in work that hours fly by without you noticing? If so, you have
definite hermit tendencies.
maybe you are more the type of person who works with one eye trained on the
clock because you don't want to miss a second of the coffee-break gossip.
If this sounds more like you, you are of the party animal persuasion. Of
course these are broad stereotypes and most people will fall somewhere in
between, having attributes of both types.
Just decide which type comes closest to describing you before you go any
further with starting an Internet business.

To be a successful Internet business owner you need to be the type of person
who can work happily without supervision in complete isolation for long
hours - does that sound grim to you? Actually it is not as bad as it
sounds. You won't have to work long hours forever but, when you are first
starting an Internet business, you will most likely need to put in some
extra hours. You will need those extra hours because there will be a
learning curve to work through while everything is new to you. You will
speed up as things become familiar and you settle into a routine. If you
have pronounced hermit tendencies, you won't even notice the time passing.

If you need the input of other people to feel comfortable in your work or if
the social side of your working life is of paramount importance to you,
starting an Internet business might not be a good idea for you at all. If
you know deep down that you need human interaction to be happy, you would be
far better to forget the idea of starting an Internet business. If your
personality is more suited to an occupation which would bring you into face
to face contact with your customers, an offline business would be a much
better idea.

Starting an Internet business could work out very well for you if you are
balanced somewhere between both types of character. If you are the type of
person who enjoys the company of other people but can work happily on your
own, starting an Internet business could work out well for you.
If you have characteristics of both the hermit and the party animal, you
might find it a bit of a struggle to cope with working online at first.
However, once you are through the learning curve, you could be very happy to
live the solitary life of an internet business owner on a part time basis.
Working part-time on the Internet means you will still have time to indulge
the party animal side of your character.
