Networking, Business Marketplace Also Planned
Brooklynite Sonia E. Wilson was named a Top Ten Business for 2009 by www.startupnation.com/homebased100/, an advice and networking association established by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs, as part of its annual Home Based 100 competition.
Wilson, who works as a publicity and fundraising consultant, won in the category of “Boomers Back in Business.”
Wilson said whereas most people are either publicists or fundraisers, she elected to provide an all-inclusive service based on her background in both corporate and non-profit sectors.
“Many of the StartupNation Home-Based 100 nominations revealed that business owners are bucking the current economic downturn and finding business success in these tight times,” said Rich Sloan, co-founder. “Historically some of today’s most well known businesses started in a downturn, including Microsoft and General Electric.”
Sloan added, “The 2009 ranking shows that the home-based business is more relevant than ever. The current recession has spurred a new wave of home based businesses as a response to loss of jobs, the need for supplemental income and the sheer passion for blazing your own trail and running your own show.”
Said Wilson, “I am humbled and empowered by this prestigious recognition. My focus and self-imposed mandate has always been to deliver results beyond the client’s expectation cost effectively, and I dig deep to make it happen. I find the client in me, and take on only those projects that drive my inherent passion.”
