When One Door Closes, Another One Opens
Latest News 3How One Business Owner’s Risk-Taking Led Her to Find Her Calling
“Working from home in my slippers, can’t find anything better than that!” This is how Patricia Marshall, the President and Owner of Parmars Inc., sums up working for her own company, a mini- call center that has partnered with Arise for over 15 years.
Taking a Chance on a New Opportunity
Patricia Marshall is what the technology industry would refer to as an early adopter. Her call center company is one of the first businesses that partnered with Arise. In the late ‘90s, Patricia found herself yearning for a way to earn extra money. As she was standing in the copy room at her full-time job, one of her co-workers mentioned this new opportunity to operate a small call center business from home by utilizing technology and other infrastructure offered by a company called Arise.
In the late 90s, starting your own company and working from home was not as common as it is today due in part to societal pressures to work in a traditional work environment and a lack of technology. Also, during Patricia’s research on work-from-home opportunities, she ran across a lot of scams, so naturally she was hesitant to pursue her co-worker’s suggestion. However, after conducting research on Arise, and learning that they were partnered with the local public school system, she decided to open her own mini-call center, and she hasn’t looked back since.

Start a Business from Home
Latest News
Have you ever thought about starting a business out of your home. It’s not as difficult — or as expensive — as it may sound!
First step, ask yourself three questions to help define your goals:
1) What kind of business do you want to start? Is it a product or service? Do you possess the skills to make it happen? Give a lot of thought to what type of work would excite you every day.
2) How much time can you devote? Be realistic, and think seriously about your current routine to figure out how much time you can devote to this endeavor. Perhaps you have five hours a day while your kids are in school, or maybe you only have nights when your baby is sleeping. Will you focus on finding the time to give this priority? If you’re going to devote too little time or you’re going to find excuses why you’re too busy, this won’t work.

Be ready in advance to put in the time and you’ll benefit from the results. Here are some steps to help you get started:
Assess your possessions. Walk from room to room and ask yourself if it’s more important to hang on to things or to part with them to make some money. Go through each room several times to identify what you’re willing to sell. If you haven’t used it, looked at it or thought about it in a very long time, that item could be a candidate for sale.
