Great ideas Guy.

Love the idea of having your own space ... but still working near others. I can get my work done ... but I don't feel like I am all by myself.

Keeping good records is another one. Saves me hours of frustration at tax time!

Keep up the great work Guy.

Great timing, I've just exited 9-5 to consult and work on my e-learning product so this article is being starred and referenced. Thanks.
