For a moment there, I really wasn't sure about including this particular top tip! Just when I was ready to post it - about 3 weeks ago (!), Murphy (the one of Murphy's law fame)intervened and I've had a frustrating time with a badly behaved laptop! At 1 stage I hoisted the laptop above my head, opened the window and ......
...... changed my mind. It is a woman's prerogative after all - and probably more so a working mum's!
So after a call to a very patient and knowledgeable gentleman I recently met at a Networking event, who offers home business pc support; I now have my laptop back in my care, working more efficiently than ever, and with all my files safely retrieved and backed up - an ideal place to be as my 2 home based buisnesses are beginning to grow at an enormous pace. So here it is - my top tip from a working mum who has been there, done that and worn the "ripped in frustration" t-shirt!
4. EMBRACE TECHNOLOGY – AS BEST YOU CAN!
No matter how scarey, there’s no denying that technology can boost our home-business success! Part of my journey towards successfully working from home has been the realisation that the initial pain & effort of learning about new technology or a new “toy”, soon far outweighs the benefit it can bring to your business. Find someone you can trust to lead you through the maze of technology and get them on your team! Learn to work smarter – not harder!
Really useful list. Part of my journey towards successfully working from home has been the realisation that the initial pain & effort of learning about new technology or a new toy, soon far outweighs the benefit it can bring to your business.
