Working at Home on the Internet

Where’ve I Been?

New Here? You may want to Subscribe to my RSS feed for daily updates. Or if you prefer, Subscribe by Email Thanks for visiting!

What have I been up to lately? I used to post every day, why so few nowadays?

 Actually, I’ve been Working at Home.

I’ve never considered myself a writer, teacher or even a real Blogger. Sure, I have Blogged about what it’s like to Work at Home for well over two and a half years, but I have actually been DOING it more lately. Running a Home Business, that is.

As most of you already know, I have a Consulting Business to help people with fixes in most phases of Computer use both on the internet and off line problems that occur as well. I won’t turn this into an advertisement for myself, suffice it to say that business has been picking up lately and has taken up a good bit of my time.

Although I am far from as busy as I’d like to be, I am doing more Consulting and working on building my business daily. It’s a never ending process of trial and error, but learning and building on experience is always a part of the process to building a successful business.

In that vein, I am going to be attending SOBCon 08 in Chicago this weekend to learn more about Business as a whole but specifically about conducting Business on the Internet.

My intent is to share with you in the upcoming weeks, not only what I have learned through my own experience, but also what I have learned from some of the Top Internet Entrepreneurs and Business Experts doing Business on the Internet.

If I can, I will share as much as possible Live from Chicago. No gurantees, but I will Try!

Stay Tuned.
