Choose something you are passionate about. Something you would enjoy doing FOR FREE! If you love it, you will have a better chance of making a business out of it. Passion is important.

I have my own business as a freelancer. I provide a service doing something I love to do and can do from home.

I have to agree...you have to be passionate or you will end up dreading work and not want to put yourself into it. If you LOVE what you as much as I do, you will find that you look forward to working each day and that will help you to continue on a long path.

I too agree it must be something you are passionate about. I am extremely passionate about being green and eco-friendly, which makes my business (OnlyGreen) the right fit for me.
If you would like more information about it, please email me at onlygreenlisa@optimum.net or visit my website at http://onlygreenlisa.com

With respect, I'm going to disagree outspokenly with everyone who's posted above me!

I think that, as a primary selection criterion, choosing something you're passionate is not only a huge mistake, but is actually one of the very commonest reasons for the undoubtedly very high failure-rate among home-based businesses. It's really very common. People choose something they're passionate about, believing all this stuff about "if you just choose something you're passionate about you'll never really do a day's work in your life", and "if you're passionate enough about it yourself then it will all work out alright" and "if you build it, people will come" and so on, and their business is never viable at all because there wasn't a real market for it.

What matters, especially in these recessionary times, is to start a business that already has a reliable market.

Make no mistake: that matters to the exclusion of everything else.

Identify either products or services that people are already willing to pay money for, and are looking for, and find a way of supplying them. This is how to start up a business from which you can make a living.

Anything else isn't a business at all. It's just a way of trying to create a job for yourself. Often unsuccessfully.

Starting up a business is difficult, and complicated. It requires skills, knowledge, finance, planning, and market research. "Going with your passion", most of the time, turns into a pretty sure-fire way of stacking the deck against yourself. Unless you just happen to be really passionate about something for which customers already exist with money in their hands. But that's not true for many of us, especially in a recession!

Sorry - no platitudes from me, today: just a healthy dose of commercial reality.

I wish you very good luck!

I guess I got lucky then. There is a market for my service.

Admittedly though, the recession isn't helping me any. But the fact remains I'm still making a healthy living doing it. Not rich, by any means, but it's better than working at the local supermarket!

The argument for passion is still a strong one. I've tried many things before settling on this business. As it turned out, if my heart wasn't in it, I went nowhere.

My hats off to those who have the motivation to do whatever the market desires, whether they enjoy it or not.

I have to say that a business will succeed if you follow through with your commitment that you make when you start it , most people quit to soon , give up , get frustrated wanting over night success , don't want to invest anything or learn the trade! Choose something you believe in , make a plan , set your goals and don't look back !!

I'd certainly agree with all of that.

The part I take issue with is this:-

It sounds nice, but the reality is that you'll fail if there isn't a market for it.
