Resources – Career

Setting up a proper workspace from home involves many considerations. For example, is the work you do primarily right-brained (writer, sales, people-oriented) or left-brained (accounting, engineering, data-oriented)? Studies show that different functions require different environments for the best performance by the worker. Other personal preferencesmay alos exist such as if you have chuldren and need to be located away from noise and interruptions. And, if you need to attend meetings at the office, how far away is our office from your home, or the airport if you need to travel?

Your personality and the gifts you were born with are also a major consideration in designing your work life. Finding a career that fits you will help to align your lifestyle and mission to reach your maximum potential. Below are some resources for you to determine how best to fit your home to your career and your perfect lifestyle and vice versa.
