Small Office/Home Office Expert Expert: Steven Strauss
Setting up your own office
Q: What is the one most important thing to consider when I'm setting up my own office?
A: Make it comfortable and professional. When you go into business for yourself, you usually end up putting in a lot more hours than when you were an employee, so your office should be a place that feels comfortable. You want it to reflect your unique tastes, so that it is a place you enjoy going to everyday. But you also want the space that will impress visitors, so make sure that, while relaxed, it is also professional. The best part is that you can really do whatever you want. You are the boss now.
