Work at Home Wisdom; Working at home is the newest thing and the oldest thing. Technology has made it possible for the explosive work-at-home movement. Up until 19th century
industrialization, people worked "at home" And they've passed down a lot of wisdom for today's telecommuter, virtual office occupant, part-time work-at-home mom or owner
of a home-based business.
Bestselling small business authors Andy Bangs and Andi Axman have put together this compendium of tips and meditations on working smarter from home, learning to enjoy work at home, controlling interruptions growing a home-based business, avoiding ruts, and balancing the demands of work, home and family. Work at Home Wisdom marries "old saws"--quotes, aphorisms, adages, and maxims-with modern-day work-at-home problems and the appropriate solutions or meditative answers.
Work at Home Wisdom shines a fresh light on such
adages as "First things first" or "No man is an island."
Its meditations cover such related subjects as:
- getting started in business at home
- setting up the appropriate space
- drumming up business
- juggling work, home and family
- taking care of customers, business, and yourself
Encouragement and humor along with a strong dose of practical ideas make Work at Home Wisdom a
refreshing pick-me-up for the frazzled or stressed-out
entrepreneur or telecommuter. It's motivational, practical, and makes a great gift!
