But can they perform that occupation at a high level when they're not physically with other people? Remote workers have to learn on their own. If you work from home, a coworking space, or coffee shop, this book is for you. The author's anecdotes about his 21-year remote work journey will inform and entertain you. Discover how to set up a quality workspace. Learn the behaviors and practices that contribute to remote worker success. You, too, can thrive in a distributed workplace.Reviews"One of the best Remote Working books of all time" - BookAuthorityScott proves an essential point that's often misunderstood in business: remote work is still work.

When you think about remote work, you might have some questions:
How do you stay motivated? How do you stay connected? How do you avoid staying "out of sight and out of mind"?
I've answered these questions (and many more) for friends and colleagues who work remotely, or are thinking about starting to work remotely.

He was having trouble finding his groove and getting his work done. That messaging thread was the catalyst for this book.If you're new to working remotely, I'm sure you'll find something here that will help you get started on the right track. If you're a veteran, I hope you find a tip or two to help you have a renewed relationship with your remote work lifestyle.
