Seminar – Telecommuting Success

Working Productively from Home

Telecommuting SuccessYou get out of bed, walk down the hall, switch on the computer, and begin working. You soon discover that it’s not easy working at home! Working from home can either be a blessing or a curse. Whether you’re working full time from home or just one day a week (so you can actually get some work done), there are ways to make it as productive as possible. Learn from a veteran small business owner, who has worked from home for over 20 years. Laura Stack will provide solutions for the difficulties that are frequently encountered in a home office arrangement, such as space design, distractions, procrastination, isolation, boundaries with family, professional image, and corporate visibility.
