- Consider using VOIP for your office phone line as long distance is included and typical monthly charges are lower than an additional phone line (when you consider long distance) and it offers the convenience of accessing your voice mails over the Internet (and having them emailed to you). I use Vonage and they also offer the ability to forward calls to another number and to automatically have your calls forwarded to the phone number of your choice in the event you are offline. One MLM trainer with a popular podcast recommends that you also have a hard-wired land-line in the unlikely event that there is a power outage. I can only remember a couple of occasions over the 2+ years working from home where either my power was out for more than 15 minutes or my internet connection was disrupted so I consider a land line optional. If you have a personal cell phone, us it for "emergency" calls...
- A computer with an internet connection and email is a must. With a computer you can buy leads over the internet, maintain your business website, send/receive emails, etc. You should also have a printer so you can print labels to affix to your sales aids/samples, write letters, etc. Use your computer to manage your calendar (via Outlook or other similar program) and to manage your leads/contact information.
- Make sure your office space is dedicated to your business and that you have the discipline to shut out all distractions while you are in your "office".
