Some people try to get their fingers into a few different pies

What does this word really mean anyway?  According to Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, 10th Edition, discipline, as a noun, is defined primarily as punishment.  My, but that has a harsh ring to it.  An alternate definition is self-control.  Well, that's a little closer to my idea.  I submit that discipline, as it relates to making your home business a success, is the following:The decision to succeed at building a lucrative home business must be a firm commitment, a fiery yearning in your soul that you ARE going to do this.  A flimsy "Oh, we'll see how it goes" attitude won't get you where you want to go.  Sorry.  It's best that you know this upfront.I = IntegrityYou must relate on a mutually beneficial plane with the rest of the world.  If you think you can make good by foisting a cheap bill of goods onto unsuspecting customers, you're wrong.  You might make a few quick sales, but your success will be short-lived and your ruined reputation might never recover.S = SincerityDo you really believe that your product is worth it?  Are you really concerned about helping the people you do business with or are you just trying to "take their money and run?"  I know there are people out there like that because I've been the victim of a few of them!  Those unfortunate experiences taught me that I certainly don't ever want to be like one of the greedy bunch.C = ConcentrationIt is far better to concentrate your efforts on a single home business program.  Some people try to get their fingers into a few different pies, hoping to speed up their inflow of cash, and the results are disastrous.  I know of one guy who wanted to deal in an arsenal of products so that he could "always sell something to somebody."  He had one company for diet pills, another for legal services and yet another for software programs.  He figured he had all bases covered.  Well, I don't guess I need to tell you that he ended up selling "nothing to nobody" and he lost a bundle of money besides.I = InspirationWhere do you get yours from?  Do you find quiet time for yourself?  An occasional mental vacation is helpful, too.  It's so important to visualize our desired aims, to keep our goals lively in our imagination. Do you have a network of people to stimulate you, people who can provide information, encouragement and insight when you are tapped dry?   It's a sad and lonely road if you're trying to do it alone.
