Swatting the Loneliness Bug

When all your friends are busy slugging at their 9-5 jobs and you’re at home with lots of time on your hands, the truth is it can get pretty lonely. Here are some tips to overcome your post-employment loneliness: 

15.Don’t limit yourself to any location

If you ONLY work at home, then your situation is not much better than it used to be when you struggled for your former company. If you have a laptop or notebook, then you’re already as ‘mobile’ as it gets, so explore your options! Work in the library, at Starbucks, in the park, on the beach, by the swimming pool, or anywhere else where it’s quiet and relaxing enough. After all, what’s the point of having your own home-based business if you don’t enjoy the perks? 

16.Invite friends over for lunch

Even if you can’t or don’t cook, invite friends over for lunch. At least you’ll have some company and you’ll get to see the look of envy on their faces when lunch break’s over for them. 

17.Host parties and networking sessions

Now that you’re your own boss, you actually have the time and freedom to plan stuff like this. A simple barbeque dinner can help you re-establish bonds with your old friends and create tons of useful referrals. 

18.Join network marketing

Even if your home-based business is not centered on network marketing, do join one with a reputable company. This will put you in a situation where you meet tons of new people every day and some of them will eventually become your new business partners or even newfound friends.
