How to successfully work from home...

You know that song “Work from home”? It makes it sound so fun + easy! But it’s not! Haha actually in order to do it right you need to have extreme discipline, be self motivated + work harder than you would at an 8-5!

Successfully working from home requires a couple ingredients:

1. The right space- so if that’s at home. You gotta keep it clean! With 4 kids that live here... that’s a pretty tough job for me! Plus, the LAST THING I want to do is wake up and clean the house- I need to use my morning energy to get in a good mental state + be creative at work! *so I make sure the house is clean before I go to bed!

2. Perfect background music- follow me on Spotify for great music + playlists! I will never switch over to only Apple Music because of the geniuses at Spotify who know me + give me just what I like (music/mood wise)!

3. Creativity- without this you can’t produce anything great! I use it to create, to solve problems, to bring in customers, to network + more. Without creativity you are just pushing buttons + who wants to do that?

4. Positive vibes ONLY- this is THE BIGGEST ONE FOR ME! In order for you to love what you do- you gotta love the vibe you’re in. For those of us who work from home, we are responsible for setting the vibe we work in. **First thing in the morning!

Tip: The vibe can be set with your favorite cup of coffee, some great yoga stretching or that motivating podcast! One of my favorites is Case Kenny New mindset, who dis? (it’s like we are hanging out!) or Marie Forleo for great business advice/leadership + for extreme depth/meaning: checkout SuperSoul

A lot of individuals started working from home after the pandemic started. It worked for some companies + was a bust for others! If you work at home or have a side hustle that you do- I hope you enjoyed my list of essential items needed to do so successfully!
