Get An Office"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>This is the first blog post I have written from my new office.<\/p>\n<p>I will have some pictures online soon and I may even do a video tour but at the moment the place is upside down with boxes everywhere so I&#8217;ll wait till I&#8217;m all set up before I do that. My office is situated 9 floors high right in the heart of Sunderland City center only 10 minutes away from home.<\/p>\n<p>This is my third day in my office and I must tell you I wish I had done this years ago. The main reason is because I come here to work so my mindset is different, there are no distractions and I can get a lot more done. In fact I have only put in about 6-8 hours real work so far this week and I have gotten more done than I would have done in a week at home.<\/p>\n<p>Of course I know having an office isn&#8217;t for everyone and it also depends where you are at with your business but let me tell you when you work from home you are never away from &#8216;work&#8217; and it&#8217;s all too easy to check your pc. You know&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I&#8217;ll just check my emails.<\/li>\n<li>I&#8217;ll just check my sales<\/li>\n<li>I&#8217;ll just check the Warrior Forum<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Let me tell you my computers at home were turned on for around 15 hours per day. Now this is not the case. Now I &#8216;go to work&#8217;. As strange as that may sound (I mean aren&#8217;t we doing this to quit work) I really look forward to it everyday. I now find myself working less as I have less distractions, just give me 2-5 hours per day in a work environment and I know I will get more done.<\/p>\n<p>I am also planning a lot more, in fact on Monday I am meeting up with 2 Internet Marketers in my office to plan a product launch. This was simply not possible when I worked from home. We will spend all day &#8216;working&#8217; and I know we will get so much more done.<\/p>\n<p>So if getting an office is something you have considered in the past let me tell you that although it&#8217;s early days this was one of the best things I have ever done. In fact this is my last &#8216;work&#8217; for the day and I&#8217;m going home to spend some quality time with my family. I&#8217;ll be back in around 18 hours time and won&#8217;t see a PC till then&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230; which is brilliant \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the first blog post I have written from my new office.
