What Now?

You wake up on a Monday morning and you find yourself disoriented and in a panic. Aren't you supposed to be on a train or in a car heading towards the office... No, no wait you're okay. You no longer work for that company and can literally walk to your computer in your PJs. That's great, in the beginning. You don't want to get yourself into a funk, which is what will happen if you allow yourself to go down the path of least resistance. 

Give yourself some downtime, you've earned it! but you need to put your game face back on eventually. Oh, and let's not forget to shower and maybe change into something more presentable at least twice a week (really more like seven). Just because you're no longer with people doesn't give you the right to let yourself go. If you get up, dress up and show up at your computer wherever that might be, the boiler room, kitchen or bedroom; I promise you that you will feel better. If you look good you will feel good. 

Now get behind your computer and start your day, the right way.  It's all about networking and being prepared for the unpredictable. Initially, in the very beginning there are no set rules, you make them as you go. Thats right! 

It's okay you're allowed to take lunch anytime you want now. It isn't a set time anymore. If you want to take lunch at 11:00 AM, you can! If you want to end your work day at 3:00 PM, you can. You have a new found freedom. There isn't any reason to feel guilty, you are in a completely new work environment, Welcome to the wonderful world of Entrepreneurship...
