Don’t Go It Alone! Find Support In A Business Community

You need the support of a business community if you’re going to be in it for the long term.

Running a home business alone can be lonely. Especially an online business. 

Still to this day, most people will have no clue when you say “I have an online business” or ‘I sell online” or “I have a blog”. They’ll nod politely while their eyes glaze over…

That said, it’s key to have a network of like-minded people you can confer and commiserate with so that you feel less alone and still part of a business community. It will also boost your productivity and creativity to actually have conversations with others, not just your cat!

I  attempt to explain how I spend my time turning a computer with an internet connection into an income stream. I can tell the distance between their comprehension and the reality of what I do is too big a chasm to jump.
