Working From Home: The Rules & The Rewards

Steve Yankee
Video Business Advisor, East Lansing MI


Member, Michigan Independent Videographers Association


The majority of event videographers, both full- and part-time,
work from their homes. But have they ever sat down and completely
set out their goals for their home-based business, worked out a
plan for success, then followed that plan, step-by-step?

The Video Business Advisor’s Steve Yankee will show you how to succeed
by learning all of the ins and outs of your work-at-home situation. Knowing what
you’re up against and knowing some of the tricks and techniques available
to you will make your chances of success and profitability even better!
Learn Steve’s simple, yet interesting, tips for working from home. For example,
contrary to the usual real estate rule, location isn’t always everything.
You can have others envy you for your freedom and relaxed working environment.

Advantages: Setting your own schedule! No office politics!
Spending more time with the kids! Keeping more money
of the money you earn! No traffic! Lower expenses!

Disadvantages: No snow days. Too much time alone.
Too many distractions. Too much food in the kitchen.

Whether you work out of your home by choice or by chance,
you certainly can enjoy the best of all worlds. You work in
a safe environment that facilitates your efforts and enhances your
creativity while saving you money and improving the quality of your life!
