- You DO NOT have to have ALL the answers
- Many people think they have to know it all before they even start. This type of thinking will hold you back and leave you at a standstill with nothing gained. Surround yourself with people who are already successful and learn from them.
- Consistency is KEY
- Our favorite quote says it all “Constantly doing something and consistently doing something are NOT the same thing”. Need help being Consistent? Try using a DMO Tracker (Daily Method of Operation). Sometimes it helps to have a check list to get you creating positive habits. You can download our FREE starter DMO Here.
- Set Small Milestones
- Keep your goals and milestones realistic and tangible. This may require adjustments throughout working towards your goal(s) – and that’s OK. The best leaders can adapt to various situations and know when to shift or go harder.
- Create or Designate your work area
- Ideally, this space in your home will give you some privacy, peace and quiet and fit you ergonomically. We mention that because most of us who work from home spend time on a computer. Therefore, investing in a desk and suitable chair is essential. When you have a designated space, your family (especially children!) are likelier to leave that space to you. Whereas working from a kitchen table or a couch gives them prime access to you for those moments of ‘mom/dad, I just have one question!‘ (which, by the way, is never just one question!)
- Don’t hide it, show it off!
- It’s interesting to us when we meet people who almost feel ’embarrassed’ that they work from home. No way!! Show it off — take the time to share a few benefits and why you love it so much. People can’t appreciate what they don’t know.
If you are looking for another way to provide the lifestyle you want for your family here’s a fabulous way!
