I thought that I would start a new thread that really follows on from the point recently raised by Robert’s thread on working in Nicaragua.
We are talking about having the ability to work at a distance from our projects or Clients.
To pick up on Robert’s last question on the previous thread, I think that it is essential to have a website so that you can advertise your wares and explain to potential Clients what you can do.
It won’t be possible to NEVER visit the site (and site visits are always worthwhile), but it is possible to work in a location away from the project – most of us do that anyway; even if we are working “on site” this often means working in a temperature controlled office and wearing shiny shoes – you may never actually go on site!!
However, despite the advantages to all concerned (including lower costs), many Contractors and Consultants are reluctant to consider some of their staff working from a remote location. And getting new Clients can only be done face to face.
