    Distractions Working At Home

    A few years ago, I was planning a trip to Crescent City, California. In my search for lodging, I called several hotels in the area to compare prices and amenities. With exception of the hotel I stayed in, I don’t remember anything about the others I called. Well, except one.

Networking is not hard if you work in a large office building with lots of people around who you talk to daily or at least occasionally. Working at home however is another story.
