Don’t Lose Track of What is Going On Out in the World

One of the realities of running a home business is that we can become somewhat isolated. By being tucked away in our homes for both family life and obligations and our work, we might not be getting out there for business lunches or even the ordinary interaction with coworkers and colleagues. If we don’t make an effort to read trade publications or even the local or regional newspaper, we can lose track of what is going on out there in the “real” world…

Some home business owners find that belonging to web communities or list serves helps to keep them “in the know”—if you cannot get out to meetings or to interact on a personal level, or if you are in a business that requires you to spend a great deal of time online, you can connect with online communities and get your news and connections this way. Others find that by joining the chamber of commerce or a networking or service group—it forces them to get out of the house and out of the house and into the world in order to stay connected.

Read the business page, subscribe to a trade publication and actually make time to read it. Whatever you can do to stay connected to the outside world and to what is going on in the business community and in your field will help you to stay inspired in the operating of your home business. Not to mention that you can be more competitive if you have a finger on the pulse of what is going on. Ideas and inspiration can come from anywhere and if we get trapped or are operating in a vacuum, we are not bringing new “juice” into our home businesses and the business and our selves can get pretty stagnate.
