If you run a business from home, then it's important to recognize that it's
going to mean living a completely different lifestyle from the majority of
people you know. Not having a commute in the morning, not spending all
day sitting in an office and being able to generally create your own working
hours puts you on an entirely different page from most people you'll know.
For the most part, this is a good thing. Being able to set your working
hours, to dictate the way you work and when you work and getting to spend
time doing something you love can all contribute to a much happier and
healthier lifestyle on the whole. In fact, it's a starting point for improving
overall health.
At the same time though, this type of lifestyle also brings with it its own
challenges. And because very few people live the same lifestyle you do,
that means you're going to be somewhat 'on your own' when it comes to
finding advice on how to manage this work/life balance.
Well, until you found this book anyway!
Here's the long and the short of it: being self-employed and working from
home gives you the freedom to begin your own 'lifestyle design'. This is
pretty much the way things are moving and is likely the future of working.
Technology is making it possible for us to work remotely in more and
more industries and more and more roles. The benefits of this kind of
work drastically outweigh the cons – for both the employee and employer
– and so the traditional office may soon become a rarity rather than the
norm.
That means the emphasis is on increasingly more of us to look after our
own health and work/life balance. This book will help you to do just
that.
