Hubby would come in to the city every other weekend, and if clients agreed, I would go home on the alternate weekends. Since I could pick and choose when and where I would house sit, it was a perfect solution. |

How many of you are self employed?

Well.
Up until quite recently I was employed in a management position with a hospitality-related company in Branson. However, in order to return to the real estate industry, I have taken a job as a office manager for a REALTOR in the area. I also do insurance inspections (self employed).
My husband is an entertainer, but when he is not performing he manages our homestead and improves our property values.

gotoMeetings is great business tool when all the principals are scattered throughout the country.
