Lee (C)2002
(542 Words)
It is often difficult to appear professional if you are working
out of the home, among noisy children, barking dogs, hungry
spouses waiting for dinner. And certainly many potential clients
express open disdain if they call your home and hear screaming
children in the background while you try to converse
professionally.
It's unfortunate, but many ill informed clients assume that home

overlooked because is appears to be the least productive,
however, looks can be deceiving.

vacancy. In many ways this is similar to cold calling and like
cold calling you can expect a similar number of rejections.
Please, please, please realise that this does not mean that the
speculative approach is not working, in fact ...

Whenever I ask people in a work setting, "What would improve
work, profits and customer service the most where you work?" the
answer is almost always "Better communication!"
Once the problem is noted, the next question is, "What are some
effective ways to improve communication without breaking the
bank?" Workshops on communication might be the place to start,

"Fuzzy Headed" Job Goals Lead to a "Fuzzy Headed" Life
May I clarify in this article what I believe to be "fuzzy
headed" life and job decisions. I believe both are entwined;
life and job.
"Fuzzy Headedness" is a result of not HAVING and ACTING on life

and go to the job and life that just happens.
It is all right to let some things in life just happen. That
puts some ...
