Once they're off to school, I'm back at my computer. Email to answer, articles to write, a daily newsletter to compose, website additions and changes to concentrate on - and this is just my morning schedule. Publishing a daily newsletter means that - daily. Afternoons are spent on contacting new advertisers, searching for content for tomorrow's issue or promoting my business. When homework is completed, dinner is finished and bedtime looms, I usually spend another hour or so preparing for the following day's agenda.
Telecommuting generally means wearing many hats.
Bookkeeping, public relations, tax issues, customer service, networking, staying abreast of the latest business developments - I'm working on a bald spot atop my head from changing hats so frequently. So, when you need little Johnny picked up from school or someone to wait at your house for a new sofa, pass me by.
