Last week I had the pleasure of being a guest columnist at MOMeo Magazine, a resource for Entrepreneurial Mothers that includes articles addressing work life, family life and playtime for mommy. I wrote about something that touches many women (and men): adventures in working from home.
Here’s an excerpt:
As a corporate gal, I was always envious of the consultants who worked for me. They had all the perks of corporate life – interesting work, being part of a team, contributing to the company’s success – yet the benefit of doing it from home. I was sure they had discovered Utopia; at least that’s the way it appeared from my view in cubicle land.
You can imagine my delight when I began consulting. This is it, I thought. No more commute, no listening to unexplained noises coming from the cube next door, no more drive-by impromptu “meetings” from colleagues who have a little too much time on their hands.
Working from home has been pure bliss; wonderful; everything I thought it would be!
That’s not entirely true. Let me tell you what I’ve learned about working from home.

I look forward to further contributions to MOMeo and other publications in the future.

Like Tami, I was terminated once (By my best friend, BTW – he is now on the board of the agency I lead, so I got him back – ha!), but you don’t have to be unemployed to learn something from this book.
