And I have to say, ever since I got my smartphone, about 3 weeks ago, I pretty much am on notice 24/7 when I recv a tweet, comment or text msg. I finally learned how to set up an automatic 'silent mode' from 10p.m. to 8a.m. :) But nothing beats being able to work from home. Understanding the discipline is key. I find the quiet time a wonderful time to gain my creativity and planning. This is a really good checklist Lisa!

Sometimes there's no one around to make you work and to keep you from working. And I wouidn't trade working from home for anything, either. :) I hadn’t really thought about that, but you’re right.

I found out one thing: Lazy people tend to become more lazy when working from home and people who tend to work too much anyway work even more which can be an issue. I woudn't trade it for anything either. Thanks for sharing your insights. Take care Oliver Hi Lisa,

great wrap-up of pros and cons of working from home. I found out one thing: Lazy people tend to become more lazy when working from home and people who tend to work too much anyway work even more which can be an issue.

I woudn’t trade it for anything either.

Thanks for sharing your insights.

Take care

Oliver

They don't realize that they're missing out on incredible talent. BTW, I remember making house calls with my dad when I was a kid. :) That’s so true!

It is amazing that many of those clients are the ones who miss having their physician come to THEIR homes...

I've attended a few seminars where I couldn't stop looking at my watch and hoping it would end soon. Now I'm more picky and only attend sessions that can help me grow my business.

My goal is to attend more live events this year. There's something about meeting with others in person that is more motivating than sitting at home "attending" a webinar. While I like at-home learning, it's important to strike a balance between the two. You’ve touched on the most important part…getting out of a home office and meeting others.
