  business support specialist job description: Remote Jason Fried, David Heinemeier Hansson, 2013-10-29 The classic guide to working from home and why we should embrace a virtual office, from the bestselling authors of Rework “A paradigm-smashing, compulsively readable case for a radically remote workplace.”—Susan Cain, New York Times bestselling author of Quiet Does working from home—or anywhere else but the office—make sense? In Remote, Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson, the founders of Basecamp, bring new insight to the hotly debated argument. While providing a complete overview of remote work’s challenges, Jason and David persuasively argue that, often, the advantages of working “off-site” far outweigh the drawbacks. In the past decade, the “under one roof” model of conducting work has been steadily declining, owing to technology that is rapidly creating virtual workspaces. Today the new paradigm is “move work to the workers, rather than workers to the workplace.” Companies see advantages in the way remote work increases their talent pool, reduces turnover, lessens their real estate footprint, and improves their ability to conduct business across multiple time zones. But what about the workers? Jason and David point out that remote work means working at the best job (not just one that is nearby) and achieving a harmonious work-life balance while increasing productivity. And those are just some of the perks to be gained from leaving the office behind. Remote reveals a multitude of other benefits, along with in-the-trenches tips for easing your way out of the office door where you control how your workday will unfold. Whether you’re a manager fretting over how to manage workers who “want out” or a worker who wants to achieve a lifestyle upgrade while still being a top performer professionally, this book is your indispensable guide.
  business support specialist job description: 48 Home Business Ideas Guide Manuela Willbold, Fernando Raymond, Introduction “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary. “– Steve Jobs, Co-founder of Apple Have you ever really taken the time to think about what you actually want out of your own life? It’s not an easy task and many people don’t make the effort as they probably feel it’s not that important. But, if you’re in a place where you’re questioning your lifestyle and what you do for a living, then this should be the first step you take to identify what you really want to spend the majority of your time doing. At ClickDo Ltd., a digital marketing & SEO agency in London, the authors do what they love every single day and with this book they want to provide you with inspiration to find something you can see yourself doing in the near future. Fernando Raymond, the CEO of ClickDo Ltd., and Manuela Willbold, blogger & senior content writer at ClickDo Ltd., have created this guide with a mission to show people that as the internet marketplace grows, there are almost endless work options online for anyone with any talent and skill. With the creative support and vision of ClickDo senior web designer Kasun Sameera, this book has come to life. “In 20 years, you will be more disappointed by what you didn’t do than by what you did. “– Mark Twain, American writer We’ve all gone through this same experience: we went to school, got a degree and worked – but did we do what we felt passionate about? Fernando started ClickDo Ltd. because he asked himself that exact question. His vision was to lead a free life where he could work from anywhere in the world. He identified his passion for SEO and digital marketing and set up ClickDo Ltd. with only a few clients in the early days. Kasun joined him and together they went on the journey of building many more online businesses like web hosting company SeekaHost. Manuela felt an emerging passion for writing while working as a teacher and found ClickDo while searching for WordPress Training to start her own blog. Now, she writes content and manages various ClickDo blogs. If they can do it, so can you!
