The real go-getters have been really successful at their home office. If you've been thinking about leaving the rat race of the city office, or have been forced to leave, now is your chance to make it on your own on your own terms. The question is how? You need a plan. This book will take you by the hand to guide you through the basics of setting up your home office space, setting schedules and more. You may already have an idea of what you want to work at, you may have been working for someone else using all of your knowledge. Now you want to (or have to) do it on your own. This book will guide you though the beginning steps of working from home with your "open collar." We've all heard of the Blue collar worker, and the White collar worker. There's a new one in town. The "Open Collar" worker is the worker who works from home. The whole term "open collar worker" suggests many things. Open to new ideas. Relaxed atmosphere. Working at your own pace.
