How do you feel when you tell someone you run a home business?

Hi,

I was just reading a post on technorati.com from a man who owns a small business. He was addressing the issue of som people minding being called a small business.

Personally, I have never minded that I do a home business. How many employees do I have? Just me for now. It may get to the point someday that I will hire someone to help me, but right now, I am the employer and employee. I love it. I love the flexibility and freedom it brings. I love doing something that I believe in.

Maybe it's from my years of staying home with my kids when they were young, then homeschooling them as they got a little older. I"ve always been "different" than the rest of my family and most of the world. I guess you get used to it.

But I certainly do not apologize or feel bad about having a small home business. Instead, I realize I am blessed to be able to do what I do.

What about you? How do you feel about having a small home business? Leave me a comment and let me know.

If you don't have a business yet, but would like to, I offer consulting to help you choose a home business that's right for you and help getting started. Visit http://www.christianhomebusinessconnection.com/home-based-business-

Have a great week! I think we're going to be a little "snowbound" this week.

Do you think you want to be an entrepreneur?

Hi,

Here we are upon another week. I was thinking this morning about being an entrepreneur. Do you consider yourself entrepreneurial material? To be honest, I never did. I never thought about it in those terms. I have always wanted to own some kind of business, but never gave much thought to what being an entrepreneur meant.

It means you are your own boss. There is no one to give you your daily assignments - you need to come up with them. It means you are responsible to start your business, market it , keep it growing, etc. Some of you will say "no thanks" while others think this sounds exciting.

Even though there have been struggles involved in having my own business, I wouldn't change it. I love the idea of not having to report to anyone (except, of course, to God for how I run my business and use my time and money). I love being challenged (most days!). I love the flexibility of working when I choose and being able to do it all from home.

I've written an article that talks more about being an entrepreneur. You can read it here.

Take care,
Laurie

The main purpose of this blog is to share information about different home based businesses. That way, you can read about them and see which ones appeal to you. I'd also like to help those of you who already own a business, so I will write about different resources, such as ebooks, teleseminars, etc. that you might find helpful in running a home based business. I own a home business website where my goal is to connect those that are seeking home based businesses with legitimate opportunities. I have previous experience in interviewing and recommending people for specific jobs for one of the leading employers in Rochester, NY. I have researched many home business opportunities to ensure they are legitimate, and to find out what they involve. That way I can help you by saving you a lot of time and effort doing this yourself. I offer consultations to help you find that right match for you. I also have received certification in Biblical Coaching. I have been married for 23 years to my wonderful husband. We have two children, both in their twenties, and both still living at home.
