As a female business owner working from home seems like a great idea. There's no need to go to the office every day, no business attire and no unwanted social interactions. The loud noise from your colleagues, the buzzing sounds of the photocopying machine and all the other office distractions suddenly disappear.

However, the excitement of working from home may slowly fade away once you fall into a routine, especially if you feel the need to socialize.

To avoid this feeling, you must learn how to be productive, how to stay in touch with your employees and clients/customers, and how to stay motivated in your new home office.
