WAHExpo 2015: Bigger And Better On Its 3rd Year!

Three years in a row that I’ll be joining the WAHExpo, and my excitement level is still high up there!

The very first gathering of WAHMs actually happened back in 2012.  It was more like an exploratory talks between those who were already working from home (that’s us!), and those who were still contemplating on making the leap from blazers to pajamas.  We were just about forty in the first event, and to date, there are more than 1,500 warm bodies in our WAHMderful Facebook Community.

Because of the success of the first annual WAHM Expo and the interest it gained from the male population, Manila Workshops decided to open the doors to the Dads in its second year, and called it the WAH Expo, dropping the M for moms.

And now, WAHExpo 2015 is made even bigger and better by welcoming the Work-At-Home Singles.

Yep!

Having babies and being a hands-on parent is no longer the main reason people want to work from home.

Choosing your working hours, avoiding the horrific traffic, choosing who you work with, calling your shots on what projects to work on, working in bed, on the beach, under the tree or even on top of it (why not?), knowing your worth and commanding your price… the list is endless.

Still, it is not for everybody.

But whether you already like it, or just exploring the idea of doing it, WAHExpo 2015 is an event that will help you gain helpful insights about the gore and glory of working from home.
