5 Home Office Strategies (Part 3)
| |
| We've talked about the first two tips for working in a home based business, so let's now focus on tip three.
3. USE TOUCHSTONES AS VISUAL REMINDERS. We all know we need to stay focused, but when your eye begins to wander, it helps if it wanders on a visual touchstone. If you were to come to my office, you'd find I have several lining the top of my walls much like a bordered wallpaper accent. Here's a few examples:
a. CAN I DO THIS AFTER 5? Alot of times we get sidetracked doing something that can really be done AFTER normal business hours.

b. WHO CAN DO THIS AS GOOD AS I CAN? There's a lot of work I can hire out and should do just that! |
