"The people who are able to work from home (or wherever they want to work) most successfully are people who work for themselves. When you consult in an area of expertise that companies need, they don't care where you work. They can't afford to care, because they have pain and you have the pain relief.

It's hard to find a regular full-time job that lets you work from home. It has gotten harder over the years. Companies that used to let all or nearly all their employees work from home have become more conservative. They've called their employees back into the office. Why did they do it? The answer is managerial fear, plain and simple."

In today's digital age where smartphones are effectively smart offices with full suite features. There's no excuse not to be spending more time with family and less time in the office.
