What Challenges Did I Face Starting My Business in a New Location?

Click For Summary
Crystal Patton shares her experience of starting a business in a new location after moving to Fargo, ND, with her family. She faced challenges establishing her business in a town where she knew only one person, but her venture flourished once she returned to her hometown in Arizona. The warmer climate and familiarity contributed to her success and enjoyment of her work. Despite her progress, she misses local connections with other consultants. Crystal encourages others in her area to connect and offers support to those starting their own businesses.

Hi, my name is Crystal Patton, I've posted here a bit but just stumbled across this area. Tee-hee :)

My husband works on the road and for two years, Nov 2005 to June 2008, the kids (three boys ages 6, 3 and 1) and I joined him. Man was that an adventure!!:eek:
I have always loved PC, hosted my first show in 2000, but became a consultant in Indiana this last April. My husband was transfered to Fargo ND in Feb 2008 but I had to stay put so my oldest son could finish school. I started my business alone, in a town where I knew one person.
Fargo was too darn cold for me so the boys and I came home to Arizona. Blessed, warm, dry Arizona!!!!:love: Did I mention I'm happy to be home? Once I was in my hometown my business really took off. I love it because I have a legit reason to call the babysitter and talk to adults in full sentences. Whoo-hoo!!

I do find it hard not to have contact with local PC ladies, sigh. Anybody up around Chino Valley, Prescott or Prescott Valley?
