Disadvantages to employee:
Contacting colleagues requires initiative. Not likely to
just walk by them.
employees may be considered less valuable than
employees who are always on site in performance
appraisals, salary increases, promotions, layoffs, etc. You
would need to determine if these would apply to you.
Working from home may be lonely.
Must manage family, roommates, etc. so you can get
work done.
Must manage work-life balance because work may
always be there.
Increased utility costs such as electricity, telephone,
heating, internet connections, computers and
peripherals (including printer ink) which may or may not
be employer reimbursed.
Individuals need to weigh the advantages and
disadvantages to themselves and to their employers in
making the right decision for themselves.

Growing Your Business
Your Three Step Guide To Success
Are you craving success? Here’s your three step guide to
success.
Spring is a great time to get your business in bloom. One
of the things I see the most when it comes to
entrepreneurs and small businesses is that they get
busy working on their business that they forget to work
in their business. Not sure what I mean by working in
your business? Do you spend time working on sales?
Building your opt in? Networking? Nurturing Prospects?
You know the things that actually move the needle
forward in your business and put money in the bank?
1.
Block time on your calendar. If you
want to be successful you have to spend time on that
dirty word, yup, you have to spend time doing sales.
Sales will be the lifeblood of your business. Sales will
help you get from where you are to where you want to
be in both life and business. I recommend managing a
top ten list of prospects on a weekly basis and setting
scheduled times each week to meet with prospects. This
will help ensure that you are booked because if you
have an empty slot you know you will have to get that
one filled.
2.
Set goals and find someone to hold
your accountable: One of the best things to keep your
needle moving forward is to find an accountability
partner. This is someone who will keep you moving
forward toward your goals and all the little tasks along
the way. You will help do the same thing for them. This
is great because it helps you avoid the excuses from
time to time
3.
Put yourself out there: It's amazing
to me, I hear many people who want to be successful,
who want to get out there but aren’t willing to do the
work, or aren’t willing to actually put themselves out
there. It so silly to me. If you want to be an entrepreneur
there is a certain amount of yourself that you are going
to have to share with the world however big or small it
will have to happen for you to be successful. So get
comfortable sharing pieces of your life. Practice
introducing yourself in Facebook Groups, Linkedin
Groups. Go out and network. Meet new people. Just get
out there.
