Freelancers know all too well what this is like – often, clients are from across the country and the world, requiring the self-employed to file taxes in multiple time zones in some cases. . Of course, it can be pretty nice to come to work every day to see friends – or at the very least friendly, familiar faces. .

The good thing about on-line courses, is anyone can do it from anywhere. When it gets closer to the course date and it doesnt look like they will fill the seats, they offer the course at a cheaper price. They can slot you into courses, either online or live classrooms that are happening tomorrow or later on.

We really dont have an excuse because it is becoming increasingly easy to take courses online. All you need is to put some time aside and close your door, or put some earphones on, and plug into your computer and learn. I have had great experiences learning online in interactive courses.

Depending on where you are in the world, working on different time zones to your clients can be tricky but with plenty of planning and preparation in the lead up to your trip, your service needn’t be compromised. This may sound obvious but check time zones before you go to ensure you operate as you would from home.

Those kinds of team members never see each other face to face, and sometimes even work in different time zones, which obviously means that it’s that much harder to stay in sync. Now, there are times when distance between teams is something that can’t be avoided. However, there would be alternating “shifts”.

Of course there is a down side to being able to do that. When you are in a cube you just stick your head up to speak to your neighbour and if you see they are on the phone, you go about doing something else until you hear they are free. You have to be respectful of your neighbours. If you have ever worked in a cube you will know what I mean.
