Most experts agree that the main reason most people start their own business is not for the money or fame but to take control over their own day to day existence. They want to set their own schedule and work conditions. They want to work in ways that are less restricted than the corporate workplace. Newlyweds Glenda and Darrell are taking this route. With Soaring Eagle Communications nestled in one end of the living room and Hyatt Computer Services in the converted spare bedroom, they operate a business-based home.
Life can get fairly hectic at times with operating two very distinct businesses from one home.
They have also quickly learned to hold their opinions until they are asked to become involved. Like for any home-based business, organizing the office space can be challenging. There is never enough storage space, and the dining room table doubles as a boardroom table. And, it is difficult to maintain a professional image with the cat Faith rubbing against a client's leg. As if learning the ropes of married life and launching two new businesses isn't enough to handle, Glenda and Darrell face another significant challenge.
