A  frustrating commute, too much money for gas, too much time wasted on the road every day! Would you like to have a successful career without all that aggravation?

From: Nicole Bachelor Master of Telecommuting Success San Francisco, CA "Virtual Presence Coach"   Dear Telecommuters and Teleworkers,

You're probably at the point where I was, and that is you are working far too hard, making decent money, but you want to take more control over your life and your schedule. No matter what you've tried so far, that control has not happened.

You are tired of long hours, long commutes, missing one-time milestones with your children.  You don't get to take off to see your kids' school plays, you can't easily take a long vacation or travel where you want to go because you don't have enough vacation days.  You still have to put on your makeup and heels or that constricting tie and jacket, fight traffic, push through the weekly grind, counting the days until the weekend. 

You're sick of wasting time, dealing with unnecessary interruptions, not being able to choose where you do what you do, trapped in a small, dismal cubicle where you can't shut the door on those around you to get your work done within the deadlines your boss has piled onto you.

You constantly get pulled in different directions, people dump work in your lap, dragging you away from what you're trying to get done because it's easy to catch you. You get stuck in the office until late, don't have time to pick up the kids and get dinner cooking so you're eating pizza for the fourth time this week.

In fact many people suffer these frustrations.  And that is because they just couldn't find the answers, until now!

You're successful in your career, but it's time to take control over how and where you work.

You want to be able to work when you want, where you want, and do what you want, when you want.

The ultimate freedom of getting your job done the way you you know best how to do it.

When my first son was born, I couldn't find a way to keep the connection with him, to be present and involved in his life and be there when he needed me.

That was until I discovered telecommuting, and more importantly, how to telecommute successfully - which became a way for me to get the freedom I had been searching for, with the control I wanted to succeed in my career on my own terms. 

Excluding successful telecommuting as a strategy, I couldn't find this freedom anywhere else. I couldn't secure any long-term part-time work that met my financial requirements. I couldn't find a corporate environment that let me control my destiny and didn't know how to maintain my income striking it out on my own.

That's why I know it can work for you too!

Where is the Control you Seek?

When I finished grad school, I chose the large corporation I work at today, in part because I knew down the road I’d want to start a family and this company was well-known for their family-friendly policies and was at the top of the lists for best places for working mothers. So when my son was born I assumed I’d have no difficulty negotiating a part-time employment arrangement with my manager. Although my manager seemed willing, his management chain (which was new after a recent reorganization) wanted all their staff giving 110% all the time, and didn’t want anyone who wasn’t putting in long hours.

I was devastated! I had stuck with the particular group I was in even though I hadn’t been enjoying the work lately because I figured I’d have the highest likelihood of getting a part-time job in a role in which I’d already established and proven myself.

So I started looking around for other jobs internally within my company. I spoke to the new manager in the group I had previously worked for and with recommendations from my former coworkers, she was happy to bring me in. While she couldn’t let me work part-time (again, due to her management chain), she offered to let me telecommute exclusively and gave me a lot of control over my working hours. I knew this was the best offer I was likely to get and jumped at the chance.

Your Search is Over

I soon found that telecommuting exclusively was an incredible alternative. I saved at least 5 hours per week just from avoiding the commute. I became more efficient with my work because I avoided the constant interruptions and time-sucking gossip sessions with my coworkers – allowing me to get my job done in less time.

And best of all, when I took breaks from work I could step out of my home office and cuddle my baby boy who was home with the nanny. I was able to continue nursing – whenever the baby was hungry my nanny would tap on my door and I’d take a quick break to feed him. Or, if I was on a phone meeting, my nanny would bring him to me and I’d nurse right there in my home office while I worked.

Working from home also gave me enormous peace of mind in inviting a complete stranger into my house to care for my new baby. I had the visibility into how my new nanny was interacting with my son and she had the advantage of being able to ask me questions as she learned my son’s schedule, feeding habits, and general quirks.

And when my son was sick, I could take a break when he was feeling at his worst and provide him the comfort that only his mother could give.

All these advantages allowed me to continue my close connection with my son after my maternity leave was over, deepening and strengthening my bond with him. I believe what seemed like a disaster when I found I couldn’t work part-time was actually a blessing. Telecommuting exclusively full-time was even better for my relationship with my baby than a part-time job if I’d had to go into the company office to perform it.

Making it Work

So what made me different from the thousands who try to work at home for a few days and end up right back in the office again?  Why don't some people succeed, while others do?

What made me succeed? I needed to.  I couldn't fathom the idea of long days away from my new baby, missing his first steps, not knowing that the reason he was cranky at night was because he hadn't eaten much during the day, having to ask for information about how he was doing from a stranger. But I couldn't give up my career (or income) and become a full-time stay-at-home mom. I needed to make a drastic change to get my work to work with my life.

So I took a risk with my career. I accepted a full-time job with a telecommuting option - not knowing if that would give me the freedom and flexibility I wanted. Not knowing if the new job was the best option for my long-term career goals. Not knowing if telecommuting would slow my career down or affect my performance in a negative way.

So I dove in with both feet, and discovered the many potential pitfalls and unique challenges that come with a telecommuting job.

Now before you panic, or cringe at this thought or risk, there is a safe way to do this. 

A Formula for Telecommuting Success

When I started telecommuting I found there were many challenges and places to trip and fall down. I had no idea how different working from home really was compared to working in the office. I didn't realize what challenges existed working in a home environment, how balancing work vs. home life could become even harder while telecommuting, how to keep my visibility with my boss and coworkers even when I wasn't in sight every day. But if it wasn't for my stumbling over these challenges, I wouldn't be able to help you protect your career based on what I have learned. My struggles are your gain.

I looked around at others who were trying to telecommute and realized they were trying to work from home exactly the same way as they did when they were in the office. They expected the same rapport and relationships with their coworkers, without any modifications to their work style. They expected to put the same level of effort into focusing their time and energy on work and get the same results on their productivity.

And this just doesn't work.

The answer you need is a formula for success. You need someone to spell out the pitfalls, the challenges, the problems that can occur, and lay out clearly the exact changes you need to make in your style and work habits to avoid these and continue your successful career.

Building the Formula For Telecommuting Success

After I started telecommuting, I started to encounter the challenges that all telecommuters experience. How to maintain visibility with your boss and coworkers? How to build strong relationships when you don't see your coworkers? How to interact effectively with others when you can't see their body language and facial expressions? How to maintain your work-life balance when your work and your life occur in the same place? How to avoid the distractions around the house that call you away from your desk?

I learned the hard way some of the time, making my own mistakes. I probably burned a few bridges, damaged a few relationships that I'll never completely fix, took a few mis-steps in my performance that took effort and time to recover from. But slowly and gradually I learned. A little inspiration here, a few words of advice from a manager there, a few confided discussions with a trusted coworker over there. I picked up small techniques, hints, and tips that helped me become a better, more efficient, more successful contributor to my company. And as my eyes opened to what pitfalls were out there, I actively started to seek advice and suggestions from others who were also working from home or working with people they weren't face-to-face with.

Becoming a Telecommuting Expert

Over time I started to move from 'novice' to 'expert' in the area of telecommuting and virtual presence. I found people asking me for tips and techniques in how I handled various aspects of telecommuting. I watched my performance reviews grow better and better, to the point where I was achieving top rankings in my area. All this while telecommuting exclusively!

One day while visiting with a new neighbor who had children close to my own kids' age, as we watched the kids play the subject of telecommuting came up. She told me she had just been assigned to work with an overseas team and was having real problems building relationships, communicating effectively via phone and email, and maintaining her visibility remotely. She was facing a lot of the issues that I had been faced with as a telecommuter. We spent the next few hours with her grilling me and picking my brain on every technique I used for how I effectively worked with my team and performed my job even though I was not physically in the same office with them!

A Book is Born

After that conversation, I realized how many people were desperately struggling to succeed in their careers, working in a remote environment. Time is becoming more precious as more is asked of us. We search to minimize wasted time in any way possible - especially when that wasted time is doing something we hate like sitting in traffic. And in the wake of today's new world of the internet, remote access technologies, email, IM - that allow people to work together over any distance - suddenly commuting into the office every day doesn't make sense any more.  Heck, your coworkers may not even be in the same office or maybe not even in the same country as you are. People are trying to take advantage of this opportunity - using this to their own benefit - and getting what they want out of work, controlling where and when they work, in this new environment.

BUT... working hard, doing well in your job, and then watching it all fall apart because you're missing the few simple techniques you need to succeed when you telecommute, is really tragic - and I couldn't stand to watch this happen anymore.

So I decided to take everything I had learned from my own experiences and all the other experienced from folks out there who have worked remotely, and put them in a clearly laid out set of simple techniques, that anyone could follow to success. 

It is a formula for going from "Wanting to telecommute" to "Telecommuting, and doing it successfully." 

And all I did was take all my experiences and the vast information I had gained from others like me, and put them all in a single place so you don't have to spend hours, days, weeks searching the internet for tidbits and scraps of disjoint advice.

Think of this as your one-stop-shop for everything you ever needed to know about telecommuting.

What Nobody Else Will Tell You

If your first step is to try to find a telecommuting job, there are dozens, if not hundreds, of websites out there that advertise these. Most are scams and ripoffs, where you pay to get into the program that promises to get you a job where you can work from the comfort of your own home (hint - never pay for information about a job opportunity or for the privilege to apply). But these normally turn out to be pyramid schemes where your new job is to now entice others to pay to get the same information from you! Or people pay large amounts for an inventory of cheap parts that they are paid to assemble and sell - only the quality is so poor, you can't assemble the products, and can't get your money back.

A few sites do have useful information about actual, valid job postings that allow telecommuting work, but they just point you to the job listings and then you're on your own.

I promise to provide you a wealth of information about how to succeed even after you have attained the telecommuting work. No-one else prepares you for that. You're just on your own and it's sink or swim. My book provides time-tested, simple, easy-to-apply techniques that you can start using from day one on your job to make sure you can hang onto that great arrangement you've worked so hard to set up, and to even excel in it!

"I was unexpectedly delighted"

I have worked from my home, firstly as an employee and more recently as a business owner and business consultant, for nearly 15 years, so I wasn't sure what I would learn from "How to Avoid Going to Work without Quitting your Job". But Nicole writes with engaging honesty and humour from her own experience, and I was unexpectedly delighted to discover a bunch of tools and ideas which I'm already starting to use. Much of what Nicole writes about applies equally to anyone wanting to run their own business from home, so I strongly recommend it to anyone thinking of making that change. I especially like Nicole's practical suggestions for dealing with the very real problem of isolation. I've recently seen examples where people have not seen this as a potential pitfall, not planned for it, and ultimately gone back to office working because they could not handle it. Great work, Nicole - a really useful book. Shelagh Jones www.spiritus-thespiritualmarketingdirectory.com

"avoid some of the pitfalls working at home can bring"

I've recently started my own internet business working from home, although I'm not a telecommuter, many of the issues are very relevant.  I've picked up some great tips through reading Nicole's book and will definitely be putting them into practice to avoid some of the pitfalls working at home can bring about, that I'd never considered, such as how to maintain work/life balance.  If you're considering telecommuting, or working for yourself from home, I'd strongly recommend picking up a copy of Nicole's book just to make your life easier - why not get some advice from someone with years of experience?

They need you stress-free so you can focus on them when you're with them. And at the same time, your boss and peers need you to do the very best job you can at work. They depend on you - they can't succeed when they need to work closely with you but you don't know how to do that from home.

It is your duty, your responsibility, and for each moment that you don't make this leap, you're impacting those who depend on you both at home and at work.  It is time to shatter through your barriers, no matter how well you think you are doing at this moment, because there is always the next level where you can be even better.  Nobody on this planet has maxed out what they can do, and as a leader and powerful being, you need to be more, so you can do more.

This is a GREAT BOOK!!! Not only does it help people with options of working from home, it also applies to the work place as well.

You have provided so much information that I have never thought of and will now start to apply even though I work out of an office!
