Why Go to the Office, When You Can Wi-Fi at Local Café?

Ask any solo entrepreneur (a.k.a. Solopreneur) if they would rather Wi-Fi at a local café or work from home in isolation. The answer would most likely be Yes. Dawn Nichol is founder and chief visionary of The Solopreneur Zone located in Grass Valley, CA where she frequents her local coffee shops to conduct business on her laptop. She could work from home without any personal interaction and loads of laundry to do, but the buzz of the local coffee shop, the interesting people she meets and of course, high-speed internet are the real deal breakers for Dawn.

Grass Valley, CA (PRWEB) June 10, 2005 -- By 2006, statistics forecast that wireless and laptop users will reach over 20 million in the US alone, according to a 2001 report by Cahners In-Stat Group, Nokia and Gartner Dataquest Stand. Dawn Nichol is not alone when she cruises down the street to her local coffee shop to do business. This is a growing trend with many reasons behind it. In smaller cities such as Grass Valley, California, high-speed internet is not always an option and job markets may also be saturated, leading residents to turn to alternatives such as opening virtual businesses.

Virtual businesses are a growing trend-in large part due to easy access to the internet. Dawn Nichol is a small business coach who works with Solo-Entrepreneurs to create profitable and sustainable businesses that work for them. She conducts business from her telephone and laptop. Clients dont need to come to her 'office nor does she need to be physically present with clients. This form of coaching is one of many recent developments in the business world being catapulted by Wi-Fi hot spots, also known as web cafés.

Small town economies all over the US have been crushed when their major sources of employment have been shut down or down-sized, but now they have an alternative. While Grass Valleys population is only 12,000, it is a thriving, but small community with five web cafés to choose from: Cafe Mecca, The Bear Café, Flour Garden (2 locations), and Starbucks. Dawn and her family love living in their corner of paradise with their young and growing family. They have it all...living in and raising their children in a small community while still able to earn a double income.
