"Be customer service driven... making your customers happy is not only going to drive your business forward and make it sustainable, it takes it from being self focused to something that is outside of yourself." ~Louise
In Episode 10, we talk about working from home. We discuss our own lists of pros and cons of working from home as a freelancer, then Louise share her top 10 tips for staying focused and motivated, while Brad shares his 10 favorite working-from-home productivity tools.
In this milestone 10th episode, Louise and Brad celebrate over 500 downloads and dive into the pros and cons of working from home. They explore the delicate balance of self-motivation, the pangs of isolation, and the art of staying productive when your office is just steps from your bed.
They kick things off with a new segment, the Mailbag, where they share listener emails and tackle suggestions, including a deep dive into the benefits and challenges of a home-based freelance lifestyle.
From avoiding the dreaded shoulder tap of office interruptions to the freedom of setting your own goals, Louise and Brad share their personal experiences and strategies for navigating the freelance world. They also discuss the importance of routine, the power of physically writing down tasks, and the necessity of planning time off.
Plus, they give a shout-out to listeners who've engaged with the show, and Brad offers a treasure trove of digital tools that help keep him on track, from Trello to Moxie. Whether you're a fellow introvert or just looking for ways to improve your work-from-home experience, this episode is packed with insights and laughs.
