Frustrated Comic Reveals Real Secret to a Successful Home Business: Have Fun!

Plymouth, MA - When Dan Reinhold decided to leave the corporate world behind and start his own home business, he knew he was facing an uphill battle. After all, statistics show that 97% of home businesses fail within the first three months.

What made it even more difficult was that, despite all the "How to Start a Home Business" books out there, Reinhold couldn't find a single resource that accurately describes the real challenges a home business entrepreneur must overcome.

"There's loads of home business books that paint rosey pictures of throwing away the alarm clock, working in your pajamas, being your own boss and making lots of money", says Reinhold. "But none of them explain what to do when you're faced with needy kids, noisy pets, nosy neighbors, relatives who know you're not 'doing anything important', and a sulking spouse thrown in for good measure!" he said.

"Even worse, most of those books are just plain boring, dry and textbookish. Folks dealing with those types of home business scenarios not only need answers, they desperately need a laugh or a smile whenever they can get them!"

As a former trainer and frustrated part-time comic, Reinhold knows the value of humor in learning. "Laughing while learning not only makes it fun, you learn better and face challenges with greater confidence."

So Reinhold started from scratch, did his own research, and created resources for himself and others as he struggled to get his own home business up and running.

"I contacted one thousand people during my research, from the Mah Jongg lady to the home casket (no, I did NOT mean basket) business owner. I picked their brains about what they did right, what they did wrong, and what they did about keeping their sanity during the whole process. They told me their stories, their dreams, their hilarious blunders and inspiring successes."

Reinhold took all of those interviews, added detailed home business start-up research and combined it with humor to create totally unique resources for Work at Home (WAH) entrepreneurs. The first was WAHumor.com, his web site that provides various resources and tools, including a newsletter and forum to showcase and celebrate the unique situations and circumstances encountered when working at home.

The second is a new ebook he calls "The WAHumor Way: Reality Check, Please! How To Successfully Start Your Own Home Business Without Cracking Up."

According to Rebecca Hagel of www.TheBeginnersGuide.com, "Dan's book is different. It's engaging, funny, entertaining, AND educational. It provides a brilliant and humorous overview of the lifestyle, from researching your business to dealing with the problems only a work-at-home person can relate to (What? the dog needs to go out AGAIN?)"

Terri Seymour of www.SeymourProducts.com agrees. "Dan's book is wonderful," she said. "Reading it is like sitting down with a friend for a fun, laughter-filled afternoon. He provides a lot of useful and important information, and the way he does it is where his real talent lies. Dan's book is truly one of a kind!"

"There's no theory here and no high-priced guru secret formulas," Rehinhold asserts. "I provide quick, usable tips without head-pounding sales pitches to assist beginners struggling to stand on their Web feet." For example:

The WAHumor Way on planning -

"Once a preventable mistake becomes a Shoulda, it’ll always be a Shoulda. Correcting it after the damage is done won’t change that. You’re doomed to play catch-up for however long it takes and you’ll never know what might have been if you’d recognized it for what it was at the outset.

It’s said that hindsight is always 20/20. Make sure your foresight is just as clear…or you may wind up on your rear!"

The WAHumor Way on family support -


"Communicate, communicate and then…communicate.

Sit down with your gang and put it all on the table…no aces up the sleeve. Discuss all the changes and every way they affect everyone. Be prepared for a surprise or two, but it’s better knowing now instead of later when you get rolling and hit that bump head-on!!

Oh yeah…once you start talking about it…NEVER stop. Your business is now a member of the family too and requires care and nurturing from all the family."


Reinhold is living, giggling proof that it is possible to succeed with a home business without losing your sanity or sense of humor.

"The most fun of a home business is NOT always knowing when that next paycheck is coming. There's nothing like the feeling you get from yelling "Check!!!!" and the whole family taking off for a weekend adventure!", says Dan with a grin. "It's no free ride, but heck...if I did it, what's stopping you?!?"
