I'm 3 months into my PC business and am struggling with being able to work at home...kids, dog, husband.
I've read some great tips on other threads but what I am looking to get advice about is this:
How can I set up a home office if we don't have the space? Right now I am using our 3 season porch. It's not working too well as I've got piles of stuff (paperwork etc) on the table with no place to store everything. The porch is cluttered with the kids sports equipment and other misc junk that does not seem to ever find a home.
2nd question, would it be best to use my cell phone as my business phone? I recently had a problem when my 11yo DD answered the phone call from a potential host who thought she had the wrong number and hung up. We can't afford a 2nd phone line and until I start making serious money I can't even consider it.
Sorry for the long post. I need advice from all you seasoned Cheffers as to what you did when you started your business. I feel like I will never be able to get my act together and make a go of this.
