Have You Dreamt of Working From Home? COVID-19 is Making That a Reality! Are you Ready?

from the Joshua Schall Audio Experience · host Joshua Schall

Is the grass really greener on the other side? Mandatory in-office workers are about to find out during the COVID-19 pandemic.  Be honest, you’ve had a tinge of jealously towards the estimated under 5% of us “work from home” professionals, right? I mean we get to work from the pool, coffee shops, and even travel the world without the constraints of micro-managers wanting us to use those big brother time tracking programs and be present every Monday to Friday from 9-5 sitting in our office or cubicle...even when you’ve completed your meaningful work! Remote workers have the life! You’ve dreamt of this moment, until you realized this week (or will be realizing it very soon) that it isn’t as glorious and easy as you thought... Don’t believe the hype from someone that has worked from home since late 2012. Working from home is fucking hard. Its hard because there is no structured routine that society has built over centuries. I believe great people thrive in crisis, so this is your time to shine! To help, I thought I would try and share some basic tips and tricks that has allowed me to grow multiple businesses in a non-routine work environment.
