Small Business: Working From Home - Fundamentals

If you run a small business, especially if you are just starting out, working from home can be a great way to run that business. It can save time and money, make life more flexible and solve all sorts of other issues into the bargain. The big difficulty most people face when working from home is being able to separate their work life from their personal life. So here are my two top tips to get you focussed on the fundamentals of working from home.

No Trespassing

I recently had an experience with neighbours about an unclear boundary between our adjoining properties that was causing confusion with access, maintenance responsibilities etc. There was no clear dividing line!

Taking Pause

Many people struggle with finding time to fit everything into their busy schedules. We often neglect our health and well-being in favor of completing tasks. We don’t exercise. We don’t eat right. We don’t even relax. We think that we just don’t have the time to take pause in the midst of so much activity. Meditative activities are so important to weave into our lives that I wanted to provide an even easier way to incorporate it.

Purposeful Meditation

Meditation is a powerful tool used by millions of people worldwide as a method to reduce stress, increase spiritual growth and impact overall health and wellness. Unfortunately, there are many myths stigmatizing the art of meditation. Meditation is often thought of as a “clearing of the mind”. This could not be further from the truth. Learn how to be comfortable with including meditation as a part of your daily balance routine.

The Power of Intention

Perhaps one of the worst forms of multitasking is when we're trying to spend “quality” time with a loved one, while also trying to be “productive.” I'll never forget an experience I had years ago when I went to my daughter's soccer game on a day that I was feeling overwhelmed and behind. I had grabbed the mail on the way out the door. In my attempt to be efficient with my time, I was sorting through the mail while watching the game. Unfortunately, I was looking down when my daughter made her only goal of the game. I felt terrible when someone said, “Did you see that? Your daughter just made a goal!” Although she never knew, it was one of those moments I could never get back. (I could have read the mail anytime.)

“P.E.R.F.E.C.T. T.E.N.” Resolutions...
While no one can guarantee success and while sometimes we just have to repeat and repeat and repeat our resolutions until they become "easy reality" for us, I choose to believe each of us can come closer to success if we begin all our professional relationships with our optimism set on "P.E.R.F.E.C.T. T.E.N."
