Not sure if this will provide someone value, but here goes.
Several years ago, when I first joined this forum, I was working remotely at a public traded company for their delivery department for a security software based product. I was remote for 3.5 years even during COVID when it struck the states.
One of the things that I now regret is not taking advantage of this time. I was talking with one of the group members at our last Dallas-Fort Worth meetup. This by no means is for him, this post is for the general populous on this forum.
If you work remotely for someone at a job, take advantage of that time. Have a separate computer beside you with your jobs workstation. Buy an L shape desk at Ikea and a cheap chair. When you are done performing your tasks, work on your business on the side.
This is to a degree is going against the rules, but no means does it mean to ignore your job responsibilities. Keep your job a top priority while you are working on your business.
But if you ever get a chance to work remotely while a job, take advantage of it.
I could have built a Fastlane Business for those 3 years while I was employed.
Working remotely to some degree for some people can make us lazy and not do anything. But that's the time you want to do something and fight the urge of being lazy. That's the time work should be done and ignore the temptations of not doing anything.
I just wanted to pass down some advice to someone who is maybe working remote right now or will.
If I could help someone, this would be one of the advises I'd passed down.
Cheers and Good Luck.
