Over To You
I’m sure there are many more variations of what constitutes a home business. Do you have a home business which does not fit these descriptions?
Nice post, Yvonne. There certainly are many variations for a home based business. I think of farming and similar businesses as home based ones…wonder where they fit in?
Mary Emma – I’d forgotten about farming, but you’re quite right.
Farming is very definitely a home based business for many people.
