Let’s get brutally honest — starting an in-home business can be easy… but only if you treat it seriously from day one. Here’s the real tea:
💡 The Easy Parts
1. Low Startup Costs
- Unlike traditional businesses, most in-home ventures (like Scentsy, digital coaching, handmade goods, etc.) cost less than a Target haul.
- Often, you're starting with as little as $9–$99 for a launch kit, website, or platform access.
2. Flexible Schedule
- You can work in pajamas. During naps. After dinner. Or with a Golden Doodle assistant named River by your side. 🐶
3. No Commute, No Boss
- You’re the CEO. You make the rules. Want a lunch break at 10 a.m.? Go for it.
4. Built-In Systems (for direct sales or coaching platforms)
- Scentsy and similar companies often provide training, marketing tools, and even automations that make it plug-and-play.
😬 The Hard Truth
1. Distractions Are Real
- Laundry. Kids. Netflix. TikTok. All of it will try to derail you if you don’t treat your biz like a biz.
2. Nobody’s Watching You
- There's no manager making sure you show up. So you have to be the accountability partner, the marketing director, and the IT department.
3. Growth Takes Grit
- It’s easy to launch. But consistent income? That takes hustle, personal growth, rejection resilience, and patience.
4. Mindset is EVERYTHING
- The #1 reason people fail? They quit too soon, compare themselves to others, or let fear of selling/visibility hold them back.
🚀 So, How Easy Can It Be?
If you’re coachable, consistent, and willing to learn… it's easier than you think.But if you're waiting for money to fall from the ceiling or people to beg to buy from you — it’ll feel impossible.
