(I know this by their professionally embroidered polos!) Their conversation consists of how their employees are resisting the 360 reviews and ‘self assessments’ – folks, THIS I do not miss. And this is why I want to make the coffee shop my only ‘cubicle’! These managers banter about ‘Emotional intelligence’ and other corporate HR buzzwords is not a part of my lifestyle.

Working for myself, from home, or where ever a client wants to meet me is the single highest priority – I get to spend some decent time with my kids, set my own hours(although I tend to be a work-a-holic and put in way too many hours anyway.) I am Employee of the month every month and have garage parking!

Anyway, this is just kind of a rant since I can hear the crazy-talk that I have worked so hard for 5 years to avoid.

Have Fun out there! SEM

Working from home is not the easiest job in the world. It can be one of the most rewarding jobs, however because it provides one thing we all want – FLEXIBILITY with our TIME. I personally love being able to get out and run an errand early in the morning after dropping the kids off, and maybe meeting with a design client, and THEN sitting down to do some online work. My days are never identical to each other, and I get to see my kids before and after school.

If you are having trouble getting started working from home, trust me, that is the hardest part. Once you get rolling, it just gets better with time. BUT – you must take action – I spent years, and dollars, never taking any real action. Grab a blog name, a domain or subdomain and start something – blogging, affiliates, or ecommerce. You don’t have to start big, just get started. I can’t stress this enough.
