Employers need to embrace flextime, telecommuting and remote workers. Otherwise, they'll find themselves competing with millennial-owned companies that do. All that's needed is an understanding of the needs of both parties, and an agreement that helps both get what they want.

You don't have to kill yourself to be successful. You don't have to look, think or behave like anyone else. Your version of success is perfect - for you.

Being told what to do is easier, but that's not what you want. You want to be a kid again - creating, failing and triumphing. You want to explore life on your terms.

Time and energy are two of the most valuable and limited resources you have. Commuting kills both of them. When you stop commuting, you can finally start chasing your dreams.

If you work from home or another remote location, you know what a huge blessing it is. For me, few things are more valuable than my time, and the decision to work from home has added years to my life. Literally, years.

The truth is, most of us waste hours every day; acting as though we have an endless supply of them. So, if you’re one of those who do (or can, but haven’t crossed over, yet), here are my top three habits that make working remotely more productive and enjoyable.

When you wake up feeling like crap, there's no shortage of suitable culprits. Your job, finances, spouse, or boss. But what if it's none of those?

Whether you’re a 16-year-old girl, a 39-year-old executive or a 62-year-old divorcee who’s fighting with the bottle, this is probably your most persistent question: What is the meaning of life? 

Like me, you’ve no doubt asked it at various low-points in your life, but your subconscious is asking it every hour of every day. With each decision, each interaction, every little fork in the road, it’s looking for its purpose. A point to it all. Meaning.

The life you want comes down to two decisions and two actions. You can argue that it's thousands of decisions and actions, but it's not. It's two of each.

If you can work from home but keep your day job, you get the best of both worlds - certainty with enough flexibility to live a bit more. A win-win.

In my early twenties, I did what millions of others did - I succumbed to the lure of easy money with an MLM company. Sadly, my dream of Mai Tais on a beach seven days a week died when I realised it wasn't nearly as easy as they made out. 

Fast-forward a few years, and the company went broke - so it was never gonna happen, anyway.

Ironically, I still managed to fulfil the most compelling dream sold by MLM companies - without joining one.
