Good morning, gang! The thought of working from home might seem to be amazing, and it can be for some. Imagine the convenience of working in your pajamas, not having to drive in traffic, and all of the money that you'll save on gas and lunches. Sounds great, but here are 5 things to consider before making the jump. Number 1, are you self-motivated? Can you work with no supervision and get things done? Number 2, do you get distracted easily? When working from home, things can get very comfy and we may end up getting distracted by the TV, household chores, and visitors. Do you have a set place in your home for an office? Is it quiet and does it have enough space for the office equipment? Will you get lonely? If you're a people person, you might miss the office environment and all the social interaction. The bottom line is, Can you be more productive working from home? It all comes down to productivity and the ability to create value for the company you work for or for the one that you own. For Wake Up Today, I'm Alan Akina. See you on Monday.
