The article demonstrated how having the freedom to take a business call in the tub is (or can be) a reality for scores of home workers.
But the Money feature was just the beginning of Millie's plethora of public accolades. In April '96, Millie was asked to host two online forums on home-based businesses for America Online's "Your Business Lunch" chatroom. In October of that year, Home Office Computing magazine profiled her in a story on paying oneself a salary. The next month, CNBC featured Millie in an interview about successful home-based businesses. Though it has since been discontinued, she was interviewed and photographed for a profile in Home Worker magazine, a sister publication to Income Opportunities . She's also placed an ad in the "Yearbook of Experts, Authorities and Spokespersons," which is distributed to the media nationwide. This has generated numerous magazine articles and radio segments on working from home.
Even before New Directions was born, Millie's aptitude for home-based ventures was evident. For ten years, she ran Golden Spirit, a profitable jewelry and accessories business, from her home. She even sold Amway products from home during the early days of that company's existence. These experiences have helped her to create New Directions, which has turned a profit every year it's been in business.
Millie credits her strong sales and marketing background for contributing to her home-based business's profitability. Prior to launching New Directions, which caters to manufacturers of gifts, stationery, decorative accessories, toys and related goods, Millie sold advertising space in Gifts & Decorative Accessories magazine , the oldest trade journal in the gift industry. She's sold everything from door-to-door magazine subscriptions, vending-machine and cafeteria services to pension plans.
The daughter of Czechoslovakian immigrants who fled the Holocaust and landed in New York, Millie has learned how to survive and thrive on little to nothing. Born six weeks early—a mere 12 hours after her parents' U.S. arrival—she defines herself as always being a self-starter and an overachiever. From holding down four jobs in college to denying her college degree in order to gain work experience in her field of choice, she's learned how to do what it takes to be a success and is eager to pass on that information to others.
Millie's work and personal experience has led her to where she is today: a highly successful entrepreneur who has the knowledge and experience to lead others down their own road of success. A View From the Tub is Millie's step-by-step guide for helping those interested in working from home, whether starting a business or telecommuting, decide if they're cut out for the job. Once that's been determined, she leads them through the practical, emotional and physical aspects of being home-based. Told in Millie's straight-shooting, energetic voice, A View From the Tub is a guide for the future of the working world.
