Lunch For Success

Can You Do a Business Lunch at Home?

Posted on 14. Jan, 2009 by Craig Peters in Uncategorized

If you’re a stay-at-home business woman, mom, and blogger who’s meeting with the owner of a blog for moms, why not have your business lunch at home? That’s exactly what we see from Kelly King Anderson’s at-home business lunch interview with Allison Czarnecki. A quick look at Allison’s blog, Petit Elephant, and it’s clear that she’s in the business of talking to other moms, so it’s not difficult to imagine that she’d be OK meeting at Kelly’s home. As Kelly says:

We decided it would be wonderful to get together for lunch and since we both have young children hosting a lunch at my home seemed like a much better alternative to McDonald’s playland.

The lesson here is not that you should start having business lunches at your home. Maybe you should. Maybe you shouldn’t. The lesson is that there is no single venue that’s right for everyone. Your industry, your personality, your guests… These factors are all going to come into play when you decide where to eat.

Thanks Kelly and Allison for showing us how casual it can be. I enjoyed the video (although I have to admit, a video of a business lunch at McDonald’s playland would be great!).
