I’ve invested\u00a0in my infrastructure lately and that takes a lot of time and money.\u00a0 My dream home office is becoming a reality.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0I have a great set up.\u00a0 I also\u00a0have to say I love where I work more than any place I have worked before.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I am fortunate to have a double glass door out to our deck and amazing natural light.\u00a0 This peaceful, natural setting allows for a healthy working environment.\u00a0 My cat, Noah, spends most afternoons on the side of my desk.\u00a0 He lazily looks out the window and sleeps while I work.\u00a0 I can hear him purring during most of my tasks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Happiness in your home office is a huge thing for productivity. I am fortunate to have my own space and don’t have to share.\u00a0 I can spread out my machines, tools, and other items (files, paperwork, etc) in a way that makes sense to me completely.\u00a0 It’s also painted in colors I chose, and while the furniture is a nod to our home more than my personal work-style, I have to bomb of a chair that makes using my tools on the furniture that much better.\u00a0 I wouldn’t trade my chair for the world!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the things that is important to me is up-time.\u00a0 My clients pay me to do what I do because I am better at it than them, and I keep up\u00a0systems and processes for them and with them that they cannot maintain on their own.<\/p>\n

To help with this, I reached out to fellow VA Tami Savage <\/a>for help in designing the ultimate computer system and network for my home office.\u00a0 She’s pretty techie and got me on the right track for what I really needed to have to work the way I want to work.\u00a0 I have redundancy and three systems, all backed-up off site, so I have the power and control to work everywhere I need to work.\u00a0 It’s a great set up.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What does this mean for my clients?\u00a0<\/h3>\n

Well, my investment in my office becomes their asset.\u00a0 They take advantage of my speed, resources, and the benefits of my personal happiness and well-being without having to create and\u00a0support\u00a0that environment themselves.\u00a0 If you are a business owner you know how much time and effort it takes you to maintain\u00a0your own computer and office, let alone what you would spend doing it for an employee.\u00a0\u00a0 So far, it has been my experience that the technology at my fingertips far surpasses what my clients have themselves.\u00a0 As it should be… that’s my business and what makes me an asset to theirs.<\/p>\n

Many of my clients, while they have storefronts, work with me to help handle their online presence.\u00a0 They don’t want to dedicate office space for the work I do, much less spend money and time to make it cozy, warm, inviting, and a place someone loves to spend 8 hours a day.\u00a0 We all know how much better we function in a happy environment.\u00a0 I get to enjoy my own space, in a happy and familiar surrounding… this makes me better at what I do.\u00a0 Less distractions, more joy = better work.<\/p>\n
