I Appeared on ABC News Now - Promoting Home-Based Business
I appeared on ABC News Now, ABC’s online initiative, in an interview with Tory Johnson. She was great and it was yet another opportunity to offer advice for smart home-based business practices as well as to encourage people to enter the 2008 StartupNation Home-Based 100.

How did I get this opportunity? Through the amazing efforts of our stellar PR folks at Borders + Gratehouse, specifically Emily and Kathleen who own the company and JUST moved from their home offices to a brick-n-mortar location in San Francisco. I’ve found renewed confidence in the value of PR firms in working with them and highly recommend them to companies wishing to get the word out!
They were also able to create a great opportunity for a winner from last year’s Home-Based 100, Nina Frye of LTD Chix (who’s also been a guest on StatupNation Radio), and also for a contestant from this year’s Home-Based 100 competition, Ink Spot PR.

Too cool.
Rich: We need to pitch Letterman “stupid corporate tricks.”
We’ll talk.

Good to see some high profile promotion of the opportunities in home based business. A bill introduced in the U.S. Senate, the “Home Office Deduction Simplification and Improvement Act of 2008” (S. 3371), will simplify the home office deduction by introducing a standard deduction for small business owners: http://www.sbam.org/news.php?id=1101

Great interview Rich. Congrats for getting on ABC News and thanks for spreading the word about great home based businesses!!

Thank you for being a positive voice for the home based business sector. So many people are being forced out of the workplace and are getting the entrepreneurial bug to start their own business.
