Your Home Business Magazine out today!

I was recently interviewed for a brand new magazine launching this month in Australia.  This magazine is about profiling businesses that have been around for sometime and are successful, rather than focusing on start-ups.  The first issue is out today and if you live in Australia you should be able to get a copy at a local newsagent.

Peter Switzer, of Switzer Media & Publishing, sums the magazine content up like this: “The biggest mistake any home business owner can make is to think they are working at home.  From day one realise the home base is a cost-saver, it shouldn’t mean you are an amateur at business”.

What great advice and it backs up what I’ve always thought and encouraged to others.  Professionalism is important – where you work from isn’t.

Below is the front cover and my article starts on page 56.

    Kathie, you are probably getting more hits to your website due this article! Otherwise it’s your nomination for Australian of the Year 2009.

    You are a shinning star to the VA industry and quickly becoming a world-wide celebrity! I love it, no one deserves it more than you! I see paparrazi in your future…LOL!

    Stay positive!

    You are funny Teri and thanks for the encouragement. I had forgotten this article might draw in more hits – I tend to write, move onto something else and… forget it seems! Always living ‘in the moment’.
