Working from Home

Musings, Business Wednesday 31 May 2006

I moved back home. Not in the sense that I am living with my mom - in the sense that I moved my work location to home. My office is a gigantic two miles away, but it is filled with very competent people, so there is no need for me to be there everyday. So now I work from home, on all the big picture, important but not urgent projects that have been piling up for the last two years.

I bet everyone at work is happy I am gone too.

The change has been interesting. There is far less going on at home, despite the fact my wife works here, the nanny and Troy “work” here - but it seems much much quieter. So I get more done. And then I worry about the office, and call, and they tell me not to worry, and then I get more done.

At least there is always something to eat here.

Great advice for entrepeneurs

Books I have read, Business Saturday 27 May 2006

Since I have started several businesses now, I recognize great advice when I read it. Go to Entrepeneurial Proverbs and read it for yourselves. Another good companion to this article is Guy Kawasaki’s book, the Art of the Start.

SugarCRM

Musings Monday 22 May 2006

I have found that keeping track of customers is pretty useful if you want to provide them with good service. There are many choices, but I have been using SugarCRM. Another useful site is this one because they actually have all the patches, upgrades and different versions available for downloading.
