Local Entrepreneur Celebrates “Doing Business in Your Bathrobe Day”
By B_Kim_Bloom
Can Working In Your Bathrobe Help You Attain Life Balance? - Local Entrepreneur, Kim Bloom, says YES!
If your job often makes you feel tired, burned out, or stressed to the max, try a new bathrobe on for size. February 11, 2008 is the sixth annual “Doing Business in Your Bathrobe Day,” a time to celebrate the freedom home business ownership offers people. Everyday an increasing amount of working parents are waving goodbye to the pressures of the corporate rat race and settling into a more balanced and better quality of life…working from home.
Local entrepreneur Kim Bloom has been working from home as a certified Graduate Virtual Assistant in Bealeton, Virginia since 2006, providing administrative support and other business support services through her company, Waivasir, to Arts and Entertainment professionals and small businesses. "Utilizing today’s technologies, administrative support staff no longer have to work within the confines of the brick and mortar structure. Many Virtual Assistants work from home as business entrepreneurs, graphic and web designers, consultants, coaches and other problem solvers, facilitating solutions for clients both locally and globally”, says Bloom. “I get to do what I love while balancing my responsibilities as a stay-at-home mom to my 10 month old daughter,” she adds.
Kristie Tamsevicius, co-founder of Webmomz.com, a site that empowers women who have chosen to work from home, views having a home business as the ultimate life balancer. “Some people may think that living and working under the same roof creates more stress, but in fact, just the opposite is true. Working from home gives you the freedom to schedule your work around your life, rather than the other way around. That way you can create a life that you truly love.”
And the home business bug isn’t just biting American workers. People in England, Australia, Canada, Ireland, and New Zealand are celebrating the power of the bathrobe and taking control of their workday and financial future.
Considering that the average worker spends up to 12 hours a day focused on work-related activities, often skipping lunch due to job demands, it’s no wonder that many people feel out of balance. So for the millions of people who have dreamed about a home based business and the opportunity to finally have some life balance, February 11, 2008 may be the perfect day to celebrate the entrepreneurial spirit and map out a new business plan—one that makes the bathrobe your power suit.
On the day, Webmomz.com will hold a random drawing for three luxury bathrobes, as well as for a host of other prizes. Register online at www.businessinyourbathrobeday.com.
Additional information on the festivities planned for the day and about the WebMomz prizes can be found at www.webmomz.com or by contacting Kristie Tamsevicius at 847-244-8450.

Hello Kim, I took full advantage of 'Doing Business in your Bathrobe Day' by wearing a brand new terry bathrobe over the nightgown I tend to work in. Being a Virtual Assistant has so many womderful advantages. I can think of no other profession to be in!
