Lesson I Learned From Running A Business at Home

Business at home can be lonely. No matter how much you like alone time there will come a day you wish you had people around you. (At least for a little while)

I have traveled to events all across the United States to learn more about my business and to build a team that is connected online and in person.

It is interesting to walk into a room full of strangers and someone walk up to you and call you by name (as long as they are not stalkers) and introduce themselves as someone who has followed your email list, your social media post on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.

I had one lady I had sort of met at an event one time that ran into me again in Baltimore at another event.

She said. “Hello my name is ____________ and I am your best stalker. I follow you on every platform and read everything you post.” (I am sure she is reading this and laughing right now) We had lunch that day and chatted late into the evening.

Kayla Howard – one of my top earners. We connected at a business event and traveled to several other pieces of training after that plus became business partners – without business I would never have met Kayla because she is from Idaho – a place I have never been.

Eric Walker – I met when I taught a social media training in Minnesota two years ago. We have stayed in touch as a business connection. Had it not been for business I wouldn’t have met Eric because I had never been to Minnesota – or had a reason to go there.
