Home Biz Owners Celebration – National Work From Home Week
October 3, 2007 by Yvonne Russell
A tip of the hat to Laura Spencer at Work From Home Momma, who has alerted me to the fact that this week is National Work From Home Week (October 1st – 8th). Let’s make it an International Celebration.
Connect With Other Home Business Owners
As home business owners, we are often isolated in our own little cocoons. What a wonderful idea to celebrate as one group with common interests.
Even if you can’t get to any formal National Work From Home Week events, there are ways we can connect all the same. This special week is a great recognition of a growing trend in home based businesses worldwide. Let’s all celebrate together, wherever you are in the world. Let’s call it International Work From Home Week.
Get Together With Home Business Owners In Your Area
Maybe you can get together with fellow home based business owners in your area and have your own celebrations. If you don’t know any local business owners, perhaps this is a reminder to join a local network or to seek out groups where you can touch base with others, formally or informally.
That’s not only good for your business, but it can be energizing to take some time away from the business too.
Network Online With Fellow Home Business Owners
If you’re online, take the time to commment at blogs in your niche, or send an email to the owner. If you don’t comment much, take the leap, and seek out some blogs of interest to comment at. If you already comment at specific blogs, how about exploring and commenting at a few new blogs or sites related to your home business or home business in general?
This is a great way to build relationships and network.
It’s YOUR week all over the world – Work From Home Week – Let’s Celebrate!
Thanks for noticing this. I first heard of it at the Two Minute Commute, but I think it’s an idea whose time is come.
This would be a good week to educate those around us about working from home.
Hi Laura
Educating others around us about working from home is a great idea!
So many home business owners can identify with people thinking they have lots of time on their hands just because they work from home.
Great information, Laura and Yvonne. Thanks for alerting home business owners, and our other readers, that there is a week set aside to recognize us. It’s a good time to learn more about home businesses and to connect with other owners, as you both suggest.
It’s great to be able to celebrate home business owners!
Thanks for sharing this. I’m glad to know there’s a week for home business owners.
Lillie – Isn’t it a wonderful idea? Thanks for stopping by.
Great for pointing this out. I blogged it here: http://www.workshak.com/2007/10/national-work-f.html
It’s worth noting that these great ideas can be put into practice all the time, and not just once a year.
Hi Miranda – Thanks for referencing my post about National Work From Home Week at WorkShak.
You are absolutely spot on when you say, that connecting with other home business owners is a great thing to do all year round!
Thanks for stopping by, and for your joining in the conversation.
