The most challenging thing I’m facing being self employed is the current lack of people interaction. Specifically face to face / in person interaction. Check this video out:

I like talking to people. I like interacting with them. Lately, this isn’t happening as much as I’d like. Up to this point the majority of my efforts in building A Better Way of Business have been online, so face to face people interactions have been limited.

This is about to change though. Starting next week I’m going to start being involved with some local small business alliances and associations in an effort to get my face to face time with people.

In an attempt to grow more relationships online I’m going to start devoting a specific block of time to talking to more people online. Being helpful. Addressing questions and problems. Building relationships and community.

What’s your biggest challenge being self employed? I would love for you to post it in the comments below. If I can help I will. If not, I hope to know someone who can.
