With over 12 years of experience working from home (after getting laid off in 2008 during a similar world crisis), I wanted to film this video to help you if you&#8217;re having to work from home or remotely for the first time, especially if you know you&#8217;ll be doing this for a while.<\/p>\n<p>There are a ton of challenges you&#8217;ll face working from home. How will you remain productive? How will you make sure you don&#8217;t overwork yourself? How will you communicate with those around you, like kids, your partner or roommates? <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m hoping this video helps you, and if you&#8217;re in need of some more help, I made my books, Let Go (about my lay off), and Will It Fly (about starting a business) available for FREE for the next 5 days, which is all Amazon will allow.
