When I became an entrepreneur, I dreamed of working from home. No commute, flexible hours, and not having to do my hair. And then that dream came true.
However, after a few weeks, I realized working from home is way harder than I imagined. I did not know there were so many means of procrastination. I had to make some changes and fast if I wanted to get work done.
Here are some rules I learned along the way to help me avoid procrastination.
1. Set up a work area. Sit a table or desk. No couch or bed.
2. Maintain a start and stop time. It doesn’t have to be the traditional 9-5, after all you are at home. But setting an alarm to wake up and get to work keeps your brain on track.
3. Get Dress. You don’t have to put on a suit or dress but for me putting on causal attire puts me in a state to work rather than my pajamas.
4. Stay from distractions. Turn off the TV and social media alerts that are not business related.
5. Make a to do list. Make a list of everything you need to complete for that day. This will keep you on track and away from procrastination.
6. Take a lunch break. Just like you would do at a job off site. Allow yourself some leisure time to recharge and prepare you to go back to work.
What are some rules you have for staying focused when working from home?

An entrepreneur is a person who organizes and operates a business or businesses, taking on greater than normal financial risks in order to do so. Hard work, dedication, tears, and tons of patience is also required.
As an entrepreneur those things are not always easy to deal with but I knew I could manage. The one thing that I struggled with was a support system. A person or persons that I could brainstorm with, gain inspiration, ask for advice, or even just vent to. When you go into business for yourself you automatically think the support with be there. But that’s not always the case. So what do you do?
Well here are somethings I did to gain support and inspiration.
1. Social Media: I followed people and businesses in the same industry as me. Hashtags helped direct me to some cool pages. This gave me great inspiration.
2. Meetup.com: I signed up to meetup.com and attended mixers to network with people who were also entrepreneurs and in the same industry as well. I was able to talk to people going through the same ups and downs as me. It was a good way to vent and get advice. As well as make some new business opportunites.
3. LinkedIn.com: LinkedIn is a great way to join groups in your industry. There you can ask questions to professionals, some at top companies.
4. Blog: Blogs are a great way to get first hand experiences from peers. Just like I am sharing mine with you!
Hope this helps those seeking some support and inspiration.

a-seventeenth-risk asked:
Hi there! I saw on your blog that you work in PR. I was just wondering what your advice would be to someone interested in that industry? Also wondering what you majored in in college? I'm graduating in about a year with a BA in journalism and film. Thanks :)
Hey there!
My advice is to network as much as possible! You are as good as your media list in this industry! And always follow up and stay connected with those you network with. I majored in communications and photography! Having a journalism degree is good.
