Going It Alone?
by Krista Jones

Our Georgia and surrounding states networking group met for dinner on Saturday night. It was great hearing everyone’s stories…

One member shared her first copywriting success with the group.

Another shared her plans to launch a new website that has the potential to be huge.

Another member received several suggestions that should help her resolve a longstanding challenge.

And two members even came up with a new joint venture business idea that has the potential to keep them both as busy as they want to be.

By the end of the evening, we had generated good energy and ideas for moving forward on our respective paths.

Truth be told, I’ve never been a fan of networking. Give me a computer, desk, chair, and phone and I’m generally good to go. But this group has opened my eyes to the power and beauty of being around like-minded people who are on a mission.

If you’re currently part of a networking group, by all means stick with it.

If you’re not, I encourage you to find one or start one. The level of collaboration, support, and reciprocity you’ll find will surely lift you up and let you know that you’re not alone.

Quick Life Tip: Don’t Blur Your Lines

One of the questions that came up the other night was how do I know when to end my work day since I work from home. I admit this has always been a challenge for me. But I am getting better.

I was awful at drawing the line between work and play time during my first couple of years as a freelancer. I skipped movies, dinner dates, and other outings because of my work. And I had books, computers, papers, and files strewn all over the house. If I wasn’t really careful, I’d quickly lose myself in my work whether I was in my office, family room, or bedroom.

I’ve done better the last couple of years. Although I still work a lot, I’m more organized about it. I clean up when I’m finished, putting most of my work stuff in the office where it belongs. I get out more and I’ve made it a practice to leave work outside of my bedroom.

Now the line between my work and personal lives is not so blurred. And, for the most part, my mind is more peaceful and balanced.

If you are working from home—or plan to—I urge you to make a similar distinction. That may be easier said than done when you’re first starting out, but do it as soon as you can.
