Should you get an H1N1 flu shot?
We all know working from home has a great list of benefits, and a really great one is that you don’t get sick nearly as often. But the H1N1 influenza is out there, and it looks pretty nasty. The vaccine has been released but its availability right now is sketchy at best. To gauge whether the vaccine is worth pursuing (right now, or soon), answer some of these questions for yourself: [...]
Actress and Global Avon Ambassador Reese Witherspoon
When one thinks of a work-from-home business, the first thought that often comes to mind is the iconic image of the Avon Lady. Founded in 1886, door-to-door book salesman, David H.

Challenge coins are small medallions traditionally carried and given to military servicemen for participating in specific groups, activities, or being part of a certain unit. It all started in WWI when a pilot for the brand new “air corps” gave out these unique medallions to his fellow wingmen. [...]

For as many small business that are started up, how many more great ideas are shelved because of the economic barriers to entrepreneurship? Arguably, one of those largest barriers is health insurance.

How many of those best people will be willing to work without health insurance? [...]
