Welcome to the official site for author, speaker and work-at-home expert Leslie Truex. Leslie is the founder of Work-At-Home Success and the author of The Work-At-Home Success Bible. Since taking the plunge (and sometimes nearly drowning) into the world of working at home, Leslie has been committed to providing practical, action oriented strategies to help others find and succeed in their own home-based adventure. She provides career coaching and small business training. Learn more about Leslie Truex in her press kit.

Leslie Truex  truly knows how to combine comfort with making a living. For over a decade she has been working at home, often in her pajamas, and helping others do the same.

Before finding success working at home, she ran into many of the same problems other work-at-home wannabes encounter. She fell for a variety of scams and schemes. She invested in a business opportunity that went belly-up weeks after she joined. She attempted several other business ventures and found she couldn’t motivate herself to leave her comfort zone and make the businesses work.

But Leslie persevered and eventually found herself working at home not just in one job, but several. She has telecommuted as a school program coordinator, social worker, sales woman, and real estate agent. In recent years, she has worked as a freelance researcher and writer for several Internet companies, as well as a freelance web site manager.

In 1998, Leslie started sharing her real life experiences and tips to other work-at-home wannabes through her website Work-At-Home Success. Today the website is recognized by telework and small business associations as a quality resource for work-at-home information. She has appeared on The Daily Buzz, CNN.com and in a host of other media outlets. Her articles appear all over the Internet and many more resources quote or mention Leslie’s website in their articles. Leslie is also a guest expert in the topics of Telecommuting, Home Business, and How to Get What You Want in Life at About.com’s AllExperts. Her book, The Work-At-Home Success Bible was published in 2009 by Adams Media.

Leslie remains to committed to providing information and resources to anyone who wants to work at home. “I believe any one can work at home, but its not something that will come easy. Sometimes I think people suspect that I and other work-at-home experts are hiding the list of work-at-home typing jobs. The truth is, there is no sign-up- work-at-home-doing-menial-work program. Anyone looking for fast or easy is not likely to find success at home. Working at home isn’t necessarily hard, but it is work.”

Leslie is available for interviews and speaking engagements.
