When you own your own business, traveling for work means more than when you’re just jetting around on someone else’s dime. Costs can quickly add up – airfare or fuel, a hotel room, meals, the price of admission into a conference or other educational opportunity, and much more. To get your money’s worth, you need a plan for what you’ll do on your trip. These are the five best ways to make the most of your business trips:
An entrepreneur’s path can often be a lonely one, which is why it’s so critical to have a network of like-minded individuals to act as a support system.

But amidst your overwhelming to-do list and the general chaos of mom-ing, there’s a phenomenal business opportunity. Some of the best inventions, most influential businesses, and greatest contributions to the arts in our time have been from stay-at-home Moms. Hardworking Moms are becoming entrepreneurs more often and contributing more to the landscape of American inventions than ever before.
