Thanks for visiting!

Whether you have been working from home for a while, are just launching your home based business or are still at the thinking about it phase, this site has been created for you.

More and more of us are choosing to work from home and build businesses from home.

With the benefit of continuing advances in communication technology, more and more people are coming to understand that the physical location of a business is often the least important consideration, and in some situations not even relevant, provided products and services are delivered in a timely and effective manner.

At the same time, working on our own businesses, from home, can be challenging in various ways.

My personal experience has been that the benefits of working from home have consistently outweighed the benefits I experienced in working in more traditional environments of corporations and big government agencies. Apart from anything else, I know it has been far more beneficial for my health.

I believe that in the twenty plus years since I set up my first home based business I’ve learned a few things about this way of doing business, and on this site I share some of that in the hope that it will help others.

My business has always been about communication and I love helping businesses communicate better about their products and services.

My professional focus these days is on helping businesses navigate the social web
, strategically and effectively. I say I want my customers to become savvy players on the social web, not roadkill. My Des Walsh dot Com blog has a stronger focus on social media than does this site.

I’m also an experienced business coach and I love working with true entrepreneurs who like to move fast rather than just tagging along with the general business crowd. If you are interested in that, I offer a complimentary, no-obligation conversation to see whether there might be a fit between your business needs and what I do.

The social technologies we have available today are a great gift for anyone who works from home or is thinking about doing so. But getting to use those technologies effectively for your home based business can be a challenge. On this blog I share what I’ve learned and I’m open about the things I thought would work but haven’t worked for me. Hopefully that will save some people some learning time!

You can find out more about me from my LinkedIn profile.

And you can find my various “locations” on the social web on my Xeesm page.
