      The Top 10 Signs You Have a Home Office From Hell

      Sign #10: “I want to hire an assistant but we'd have to share a chair.”

      If your business is expanding faster than you have the office furniture for or you are meeting with your clients in the hallway, then you have a Home Office From Hell.

      Sign #9: "My husband thinks I need to get a real job."

      If your husband or wife thinks you spend your entire day chatting with the neighbors, or your mother-in-law is convinced you are running a drug cartel out of your living room, then you have a Home Office From Hell.

      Sign #8: “My friends think that working at home means I never miss Days of Our Lives.”

      If you are like Rodney Dangerfield and you “don't get no respect” because your friends think you catch every episode of Dr. Phil and sleep until noon, then you have a Home Office From Hell.

      Sign #7: “Starbucks is starting to encroach on my profits.”

      If you are conducting all your big meetings in the Science Fiction section of Barnes and Noble or you are working on your sixth Grande Frappuccino, then you have a Home Office From Hell.

      Sign #6: “I realized today at 4 p.m. that I was still wearing pajamas.”

      If your idea of networking is talking to the cat and you haven't been in a shower or out of the house in over a week, then you have a Home Office From Hell.

      Sign #5: “I could die here and no one would ever know.”

      If you worry that it might be the smell that finally gets people to inquire about your business, then you have a Home Office From Hell.

      Sign #4: “Why did God invent Oprah? How are we supposed to work when Oprah is on?”

      If you are overwhelmed by the urge to climb back into bed or regularly feel a deep longing to do several loads of laundry in the middle of the business day, then you have a Home Office From Hell.

      Sign #3: “No, the baby doesn't go in the playpen. Important papers go in there so the baby can't get at them.”

      If you find yourself picking Cheerios out of your laptop, chasing the kids around the kitchen while conference-calling Stuttgart, and wiping peanut butter off your client's work, then you have a Home Office From Hell.

      Sign #2: I feel like I live at the office… wait! I do!

      If your workday ends two minutes before you drop into bed or you are taking 4 a.m. phone calls from sleepless clients, then you have a Home Office From Hell.

      And last but not least…

      Sign #1: “Since you're home all day anyway, I need a favor…”

      If you are picking up your wife's laundry, driving your friend to the airport, or running errands for your neighbors in the middle of your workday, then you have a Home Office From Hell.

5 out of 5 stars Lively, fun and useful   August 28, 2008
Jeffrey A. Landers has written a lively and entertaining guide for people who have launched a one-person business from their garage or kitchen table and are having trouble combining the typical chaos of home life with the structure of a workplace. Both the book and the program are broken down into short, easily absorbed bites, laid out as a tidy, workable, day-by-day plan. Each section is stuffed with practical advice and tips on topics such as office leases, shared office space, moving to your new office, working with virtual assistants, writing and using a tips booklet, and giving a teleseminar. Not only are the tasks organized into steps, the steps are assigned to specific days, and each section concludes with a summary and checklist of the actions that have just been described.

Landers' book suffers from a shortcoming shared by all books of this type: by aiming to apply to everyone, it isn't a perfect off-the-rack fit for anyone. Of course, if you can't think creatively enough to customize generic advice to your own situation, you shouldn't be an entrepreneur at all.

*The Home Office from Hell Cure* will be very helpful for people who have launched a one-person business with growth potential, but who find themselves overwhelmed by the tendency of home-based businesses to be more home than business. The structured action plan keeps the entrepreneur working toward goals. Like all self-help books, the results the reader gets are entirely dependent on how much he or she commits to the plan. The fundamental outline of the plan can be creatively tailored to the specific needs of any business. I definitely recommend this book to anyone working out of their home.



4 out of 5 stars Great for the consultant or infopreneur   July 28, 2008
If you're looking for a way to escape the cubicle jungle and create a business from your home, you need to check this book out.

Jeff offers some great advice and ideas to get your business out there. And he uses humor to keep things light and fun through the process.



5 out of 5 stars Just what the Doctor ordered!   July 19, 2008
I thought this book was great, it focuses on everything people from home have to deal with. It gives great information about more than just taming a Home office from Hell, it gives you tips on growing, and growing your business, for example, how to become a Nexpert and what to do with that status. There are great stories that give you good ideas and help you relate to what the author is explaining.


5 out of 5 stars Whether you actually WANT a home office or have one because you MUST, this book is a must-read!   June 26, 2008
I'll get straight to the point: whether you have a home based business by choice or you are simply still in your home office because the financial reality is that right now you simply cannot afford a 'real' office, this book is for you.
What really did it for me is the fact that Jeff provides a simple step-by-step 100 day plan that'll take you exactly where you want to go.
No more overwhelm (where do I start), but simple steps with lots of advice on how to get these steps done and why you need to take them.
I love this book so much I ended up doing an interview and review of this book with Jeff himself. Amazon doesn't like urls in reviews, so if you want to find the call, google
selfemployedmastery and you should find it. Alternatively, email me.
In the interview Jeff gives a great overview over how exactly the book can help you and also answers a lot of questions other home office owners asked during the call.

So, if you want to know
1. the exact formula for setting your home based business on the right track quickly
2. how to identify a profitable niche and also
3. how to then dominate that niche by becoming *the* go-to expert in that niche!

do yourself a favour and get this book!

Good luck with transforming your home office from hell to the office of your dreams

5 out of 5 stars Landers Stories & Action Steps Inspire Results!   April 30, 2008
 11 out of 11 found this review helpful

This is a simple guide for anyone who works from home, or is considering that life-step. It is a good blueprint with stories and a plan any entrepreneur can follow.

The 100-Day action plan will be a great motivator for any home based business owner. This alone makes the book worthwhile. The author's step-by-step format is easily readable and helpful. This book may be an eye opener for struggling entrepreneurs who can't figure out why their home-based business is not bringing in the big bucks.

Follow the steps, look in the mirror and stick to the "Cure" ... And your business will almost certainly benefit from the information. "The Home Office From Hell Cure" is a great book for "newbie" home office entrepreneurs!
