Work from Home book

Looking for a book about working from home that’s readable and full of practical advice?

‘I wish I’d had Judy’s book when I started working from home 20 years ago. She provides a down-to-earth and practical step-by-step guide for you to maximise the benefits of working from your home, whether you run your own business or work for someone else.’

Nick Williams, author of the bestseller The Work We Were Born To Do and co-founder of www.inspired-entrepreneur.com

I’ve spoken to home workers of all kinds, from artists to sales managers and from farmers to B&B proprietors, and Work from Home is packed with their tried-and-tested tips, as well as my own experiences from 20 years of working from home running my own businesses and also working as an employee. So you can benefit from our experience and avoid making the mistakes we’ve made.

My book Work from Home helps you to get the most out of home working by discovering how to:

• Adapt home working to suit your personality

• Assess whether your job could be done from home and how to approach your boss

• Start thinking of ways to start your own business

• Develop your own routine and be productive throughout the day

• Be professional even if you work from the kitchen table

• Deal with the challenge of isolation

• Balance work and home commitments

• Cope in a crisis

And here I am talking about the book and how I came to write it:

Reviews of Work from Home Book

‘Judy Heminsley explores this whole business of working from home, from the legal aspects that you may have to consider through to the question of what kind of business persona you can project from an at-home office. Usefully, she includes a checklist of questions which, if you answer them honestly, will tell you whether you are the type of person who will work well at home. Anyone seriously considering pursuing their writing career at home would do well to read what Judy Heminsley has to say.’

Writing Magazine, October 2009

‘Work from Home is encyclopaedic in scope, with well considered and intelligent advice on almost every subject a home worker might trip over, from running a business to household politics.

‘Heminsley suggests dipping into the book as and when needed. But it is quite genuinely a compelling read, including some captivating sections on personality types and thoroughly worthwhile tips for making your preferred working hours productive.’

‘She helps you assess just how suitable you are to the potentially lonely and self-disciplined life of a home worker. She explains how employees can negotiate a home working contract and targets her advice to all home businesses from running a B&B to self employed builders. She should know; she has been a home worker for 20 years.’
