It won’t be long until it puts me out of a job.” My response: “If AI can replace you, you’re not putting enough effort into your career.” Does it sound harsh? Maybe…but it’s the truth. Administrative professionals who are constantly innovating, willing to embrace AI instead of fearing it, and doing their best to learn and grow with the changing times and technologies are not at risk of being replaced by AI.

While many companies have focused on moving work-from-home employees “ back to work ,” Millbrook Companies—which comprises three marketing and communication firms—took a different approach. Instead of finding a traditional office building as its headquarters, with cubicles, watercoolers, boardrooms and corner offices, Millbrook’s leaders went on a mission to find the perfect space to encapsulate what hybrid work really means.

Owning a home business can be exciting and empowering, but it can also be challenging and isolating. With no coworkers to bounce ideas off of, no boss to provide guidance, and no office culture to rely on, it’s easy to feel alone and overwhelmed. That’s why having a strong support system is essential for home business owners. A support system can provide the emotional and practical support, advice and guidance, and networking opportunities needed to succeed as a home business owner.
