Home-based contracting possible/What to specialise in?

[rurallife]

If you want to WFH more the first thing to do is research and network companies that are moving or establishing new offices. So a company like BT for instance who have had a long running policy to hot desk and have numerous locations around the country.

That's a great idea, thanks.

WFH isn't necessarily the easy option.

It definitely has its challenges, but I think I would like most of them. For example, I think it is a good think to learn how to discipline myself. I don't need a boss to tell me when to work and when to stop working. It's more difficult, yes, but you can learn a lot about yourself and how you work best.

If relatives and friends are a problem then blocking time in your calendar and having two separate numbers could be a solution.

Also, I think that WFH doesn't need to mean "work from home", but could also mean "work from a co-working space" or similar places. Or work from a remote place with a co-working space, like here: Hubud [Hub-in-Ubud] Bali's first co-working space! (They even cook for the co-workers). Doesn't that look like an amazing place to work?

Well, we'll see what the future will bring, I'm definitely not where I would like to be yet, but working on getting there.

Thanks everyone for your help and your very interesting insights. Love it!
