Hello. I am new to the group, but looking forward to chatting with everyone. I was wondering if any of you are business owners. Specifically if you run your business from home.

welcome to the forum !!
No, no business owner here (meaning 'here at my house')

Welcome to SFV. Don't own a business, so I can't relate to that, but did want to say hi!

Hi Graydaygreetings,
Glad you are able to join us. I own 2 business sort of out of my home. I started there and now they are on there own but I still do 90% of the paperwork from home. May I ask why are you asking?

Sure. I've started one business and I'm looking to start another one, but I'm still in the very early stages. I have two kids and I was just wondering if any other women are in the same or similar position that I can ask advice and what not.

Great! Are your children school aged? Were you a SAHM before you started your business?

Does a remodel company count? Office ran from my house though obviously the work happens elsewhere.

Yes Don that would count. You get a tax deduction for your office in your home so it counts. I surely don't have my rentals in my home. Oh gosh could you imagine?
Hey I need someone who is good at remodeling. How much would a trip charge be?

Hehehehehe, I've been tempted before to take on jobs out of state. Last time was a couple here getting ready to retire. Selling off their rentals one at a time after having me do some pretty nice things in them. They're down to their last house right now, and showed me pics of their retirement home/property in Ohio. Offered the guest house to stay in, stocked personal little lake to fish in......

Well I could keep you busy. I do a lot of it myself but am getting a little to busy to keep it up.
If it helps I have a little lake to fish in too. Good size bluegil and some good size catfish. I actually caught a 6 pound catfish. I could not believe it.
I also have some horses your daughters could go riding while you work.
Plus I am closer than Ohio. Not by much but closer.
If only we lived in a smaller country.

I think your idea is a great one, Greyday.

I am in the process of starting my own business as a virtual assistant. I provide administrative support to small business owners and contractors. Basically, I'm an outsourced secretary for hire. (I only sell Tupperware and Tastefully Simple on the side) I get to work from home and play mom which is awesome!

What kind of business do you run now Greyday?

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Has it stopped snowing yet?????

How is the rental business Tomany2count?

You guys and your snow. Makes me glad I live south of you. I am not a cold nature person. When my husband died I considered moving further south, but decided against it because all the in-laws are here and I don't want to take the kids from them. Plus I kind of like them too.
Rental is going okay. I have 2 houses open right now. Want to considering moving further south to get out of the snow? They should be ready the first of the month. You even have a choice 2 bedroom in town or you can have a bigger 2 bedroom on 3 acres.
