 Wendy
Priesnitz has been a micro-business owner and social entrepreneur since 1974, working for most of
that time from a home office. In 1976, she became co-owner,
with her husband, of The Alternate Press (later to become
known as Life Media), which publishes Natural Life
Magazine and Life Learning Magazine,
and Natural Child Magazine, as
well as books and a number of websites. In
the 1980s, she championed women-owned businesses and home-based micro-businesses
by launching the Home Business Network, speaking at conferences, writing how-to articles,
presenting how-to workshops about both business principles and life-work
integration, and participating on national
committees to legitimize and legalize home business. In the 1990s, she
taught small business courses to low-income women through a non-profit community economic development
organization, wrote the book
Bringing It Home - A Home Business Start-up
Guide for You and Your Family, wrote a weekly
small business newspaper column for ten years, and mentored
women business owners. The following articles are some of
the how-to articles that this knowledgeable and prolific
woman has written on the subjects of home-based, micro, and
green business, as well as what has now come to be called "unjobbing."
