Have you ever heard the phrase, "never let a good crisis go to waste?" Whether it is a global pandemic, a housing crash, or a great financial recission, recognizing and seizing an opportunity can be a life-changer.

This is precisely what Chris Dyer decided to do back in 2009 amongst one of the worse recessions we have seen since the great depression.  Faced with cutting costs and laying off people to keep his business alive, Chris went from a sticks and bricks business to a completely virtual company.

To succeed in a remote working environment, Chris points out that employees need to set boundaries, communicate those boundaries (both internal and external), and have the discipline to stick with it.  Chris acknowledges that there is no natural start or stops when it comes to working remotely, which is why it is so critical for people to set boundaries so they do not fall into the trap of working constantly.

Chris advises both employees and employers to figure out how to create the right environment and determine what the practical methods necessary are to make virtual work successful for all parties.
