Daily Inspiration: "The best decisions you will ever make are the ones that give you some of the best moments of your life!" - Futurist Jim Carroll
34 years ago today, I began a new career, working at home, leaving the corporate world to pursue my passions and interests! I've never looked back - and in fact, have been blessed to experience such absolute joy in the home office every morning. My wife quit her job in the corporate sector some 3 years later and has been with me in the home office since then.
I'm sharing a post I wrote about this some years back since it puts into perspective both my realism and the decision process that led me here.
Today's inspiration? The point should be obvious - since it shares a photo of a typical moment in the home office when my sons would visit me throughout the day! Among the best decisions I have ever made is deciding to build my own business, work from home, and experience the absolute joy of having my sons and wife around me through the entirety of my work day!
It's a crazy story.
That's why I find all the gnashing of teeth about the future of the workplace so interesting. Quite clearly, with COVID-19, much of the workforce has discovered the joy and beauty of what can come with a home office environment. Yes, many people do miss the interaction with their business counterparts.
But let's face facts - I dare say many of them won't want to go back to an office workspace any time soon. They've discovered the magic that has been a part of my life for the last 30 years.
With that in mind, it is clear that there is a seismic workplace attitude shift underway, and we will do our best to understand it!
