I like that my clients are able to communicate with us without having an office or physical space where we could be located at any given time. It's been great not being tied down by working from home sometimes for long periods of time and then suddenly needing to come into work when needed! Having our own business has its downsides but one thing that is nice about this type of environment is flexibility within working hours which can make things more flexible than some larger organizations would allow. Just keep track of everything you're doing if there aren't people around who monitor what they do all day. That way you know how much billable time was spent each hour compared to non-billable activities such as chatting online about client matters or playing video games during normal working hours. I've used various types of services including virtual assistants/secretaries over the years;.
