I am about to give you some eBay business tips that anyone who starts their own eBay business should be without. Are you ready to get going?

The place to start is by asking yourself a few very important questions. These questions are designed for you to survey yourself so that you will make the best decisions for your business and how you manage your time. After all you will be working on your own and will have no one else to be accountable to. If you fail at good time management, you will fail at your eBay business. So make sure you don't cheat, and be sure to be ruthlessly honest with yourself when you answer these questions.

These questions assume that you have a great desire to create a successful eBay business and that you have already decided on what your working hours will be (probably one of the most important eBay business tips you can receive).

Okay let's get to them:

**Time Management Questions**

What will you do when it's time to put in some work in at your computer and it is a beautiful day outside? You know the kind of day I mean. The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, it's not too hot and not too cold...and it's an absolutely beautiful day to be outside and maybe to do a little gardening or whatever other activity you love to do. Will you be tempted to slip on your gardening clothes and leave you business for another time?

And what will you do when the kids are playing outside and you can hear them laughing. Will you be tempted to get out there and play a little catch with your kids instead of working on your business?

And what if Rover comes up to you with a waving tail, begging you to take him for a walk, or a good friend drops in, wanting you to go with him for a good cup of coffee...and the list goes on and on.

If you let things such as these distract you from your set hour to work, you will never make in any self-run business.

**Work As Though You Are Working For Someone Else!**

My top eBay business tip on time management is for you to work for yourself as though you were working for someone else.

When working for someone else you don't take breaks at just any time you feel like it. You have a job to do, so you do it. This must be your attitude while being your own boss.

You must set up your own work schedule and then work it. However, please do be careful not to go to the other extreme and work all the time and ignore your family and your health.

The reason for this eBay business tip is that you will be able to do what it takes to make a great living on eBay without destroying your relationships.
