Some of the Disadvantages of working from a Home / Virtual Office

# Lack of face-to-face communication increases chances of miscommunications or misunderstandings
# Technical difficulties hindering communications or work progress
# Feelings of separation or disassociation among employees
# Less camaraderie among workers meaning possibilities for less cohesive work teams
# Problems separating your free time from your work time because your work is always "there
# Less convenient to run errands at lunch time
# Feelings of isolation if you are always home alone
# Lack of support - both administrative and managerial

Your job is to identify the disadvantages that apply to your business and turn them into advantages....

You may need the knowledge of a professional, especially initially, to really make this work. Through good planning, communication, and outside technical support when needed, your virtual office can succeed and help foster future virtual businesses.
