How to Have a Successful Business at Home

It seems like the perfect idea to have a business at home — until you think about all the potential problems. But if HOME is your dream location for full-time, part-time or moonlighting work, we’ll explore the positives, the negatives, and the realistic possibilities. A home business is much like a traditional business — except when it’s not! We’ll discuss those differences as they relate to your business plan, financial management, market research, marketing and sales strategies, government regulations, and insurance.

Key Topics:

  • Setting realistic and relevant goals
  • Creating the all-important work/life fulfillment in the home setting
  • Advantages and disadvantages of a home versus traditional office
  • The Do’s and Don’ts for making it happen

Learning Outcomes:

  • How to determine if a home-based business is right for you
  • How to relate business basics to a home-based business
  • Balancing work and life when you work at home
  • How to make it happen

About the Speaker

Wendy Lazar

Wendy Lazar’s business career started in the early 1980s with the publication of
Women Working Home: The Homebased Guide and Directory, Editions 1 and 2,
along with the founding of the National Alliance of Homebased Businesswomen.
Both identified the growing number of (mostly) women in home businesses and
positively changed the concept of cottage industries to real businesses through
newspaper and magazine articles and frequent radio, television and speaking
appearances throughout the U.S. She then spent 26 years as owner of a direct
mail and e-commerce company working with government and civilian agencies;
schools; military, civic and religious organizations; and individuals. While that
business started at home, the inventory quickly overwhelmed her garage!
