And one of the most important is motivation.

If you aren’t motivated, you probably aren’t going to do that well working at home. You have to push yourself to work at home successfully. It just isn’t going to go any other way.

Motivation comes in many forms. Children are a great motivation. They’re one of the first reasons many people think of when they consider why they’re working at home in the first place.

Money, while commonly listed, is often not so strong a motivator.  Sure, earning a good living is nice, but there are so many other ways to earn it that it’s often not enough. Add in the tendency many people have of wanting to earn too much to be realistic, and of course money can be as much a frustration as a motivation.

Motivation is related to passion. There’s a reason why passion for your business is so often mentioned. You aren’t likely to stay all that motivated if you hate what you do.

What skills do you find to be the most important?
