Mainstreetifs, yes I agree, Regus is top-tier and can provide a small business with an elegant image. For any other members who may be considering the "executive office" option, just be aware that there are usually some lower-priced alternatives in most areas, too.

Mr. Lam

I am currently in the beginning stages of starting my own business from home...One Click Virtual Aide.
What will your company specialize in? What type of employees will you be searching for? What experience/background are you seeking?

I am very interested in hearing more about your business and discussing what One Click might offer to help!
Look forward to hearing from you soon!

Thank you,
Lydia Halgren

I resently just moved and looking for something to do while at home with my three kids and two step children. 10,9,6,18months, and 6 months. I have been so active in my life before my children and I need that extra part in my life(the job). I want something that would benefit my children in the long run. I am always at home and on the computer when my young ones sleep or play. I think this would be a great thing for my family. I have looked into other jobs at home and I am not really sure they are for real. Please get back with me. I also have thought about opening up my own business, just dont know where to start. I grew up with my father being so great and lucky in life with his businesses. Maybe you can help me.
Thank you for your time

Hi Linda (and everyone else),

One we have job openings, it will be announced from our site and emphasized through our website. Just a little heads-up, I will be looking for bi-lingual and enthusiastic personnel. I've already found 2 potentials. One from Malaysia and one from Costa Rica, each speaking 3 different languages. That would already allow my company to run a 24/7 customer support. I hope to have as many as 25-30 employees at our peak.

So if you're interested, just stick around the site. I'm sure openings will be available throughout the year as we expand.

Hi netdebut,

Just wanted to provide you with another perspective (for what it's worth)

I worked from home for 2 years because my employer wanted to reduce expenses. This was the most miserable time in my tenure with the organization. I eventually left the company after 10 years of service.

When you are putting together your team, be sure they are mature enough to actually work from home and ge the productivity you want. Also make sure they WANT to work from home. I preferred the ability to walk to the developer or network admin person on the project and ask them questions face to face. What would typically take about 15 minutes to discuss and resolve in person would take us days once we were each relegated to working from home. Sometimes email and voicemail just don't cut it.

I would also agree with what some of the others have mentioned about meeting each person on a regular basis. You have to cultivate the team atmosphere even if everyone works in different locations.

Good Luck

Thank you for the clarification.

Best of luck and please let me know if you might use my services...who knows what the future may hold!
