Conquer the Challenges

Two challenges arise for SOHOs.

If you're someone who thrived on the camaraderie of belonging to a large organization and having lots of coworkers to kibitz with, working solo may seem lonely. You may spend too much time attending events in order to get the contact you crave. If that's you, make a plan for your networking activity. Make good decisions about which events and which groups will give you the best returns. Plan your calendar accordingly.
