We all feel alone when we have a home business. We feel we never have anyone to bounce off ideas with, or anyone we can talk with about what they think we could be doing differently. Joining professional organizations often don't give us that one-on-one networking that we need at the moment due to the time constraint and we are all so busy going over the monthly minutes, trying to build fund-raisers, etc. Build a support network of friends and mentors outside of your organizations who can provide feedback. Find others who are taking on similar projects. For virtual assistants and other solo-professionals in Erie County you can join the Erie County Virtual Assistants Meet-Up to talk one-on-one with other entrepreneurs. You will be able to relax and have a cup or two of coffee while discussing all those ideas for your business that are bouncing around in your head. You just might meet-up with someone who can make those ideas a reality for you.
