NET LOSS OR NET GAIN?



Ever feel like Sandra Bullock in The Net?

You're holed up in your home office and everything is available via the Interweb. Just like her, you can even order a pizza online! But seriously, there's a real easy trap as a freelancer of letting your online existence, checking e-mail and scouring sites, take over your regular existence.

Simple answer. Schedule meetings at client's locations or with interviewees. While your time is precious, your mental health is more important. Get out there and network in person. You'd be suprised how talking to people about anything other than work can bring you a lot more work.

So, get out of the house this week- but don't start rocking denim on denim. The world isn't quite ready to bring back that fashion movement.
