But, just as the good home businesses are making successes, there are also schemes and scams that present themselves as home businesses. The alarming part is that they advertise themselves as free home businesses and deceive many honest people. If you surf the internet and find a home business opportunity with a banner that says "free home business," you have to take a step back and ask, is there a totally free business?.

The answer is clear and needs only common sense. There is no way that a free home business can exist. A totally free home business is most likely NOT totally free !. There might be businesses that do not demand heavy financial investment on the part of the entrepreneur, they are appropriately called low-investment home businesses. But such businesses may involve learning about something new or may require the entrepreneur to spend a lot of time looking for specific information in the internet.

The cost of subscribing to an internet provider and the utility bills may not be considered as expenses in running the home business but the time spent is always equivalent to expenses. In business, time is important. Some businessmen leverage time by hiring more employees. The wages of these employees pays for the cost of productivity of the business. The so-called free home business that demands a lot of time from the entrepreneur is not actually free considering all those factors mentioned. As a would-be entrepreneur, you have to accept the fact that there is nothing free in home business. If you decide to engage in a low-investment home business but don't have the right mind set, you could be racking up more expenses than profit.

The right mind set is that of real entrepreneur. The real entrepreneur does not believe in get-rich-quick schemes. The real entrepreneur is aware that nothing is really free in the business world. The real entrepreneur anticipates that he will spend time, effort, and money to make the online home business profitable.
