If you're wondering how to handle all this fraught independence, click along to the Goin' SOHO website. I expected a lot from Jeff Zbar's site because I've long relished his practical advice in the articles he writes for Writer's Digest magazine. I wasn't disappointed. As a home office professional, Jeff knows all the alligators in the SOHO swamp by name. The site has good information for anyone who works from home, whether you're a teleworker, a free agent or an entrepreneur.
All tips are archived, so they form an on-going resource.
This week's tip was aimed at people who are running their own business and have been at it a while. I especially liked the suggestion that you should create a big target to aim at, a long-term project which will be completed in one to two years. Some of the ideas offered were to write a book, record a cassette series or create a website. If you're a contractor who's been burned by a client, you may want to do the same.
