PETER FRITZ | Office Anywhere

Comparing yourself to others, especially when the variables are so complex and therefore impossible to replicate, only creates stress, anxiety and disruption to your own journey.

Sick of leaving home each day for a place you don't like, to do work you don't enjoy? What if you could work from a home office? Here are 5 important rules.

Learn how to get from stressed-out, commute-hating, office-bound, corporate slave...to human again. Here are 6 steps to working and living on your terms.

There are plenty of reasons to develop a side-hustle, and only one of them is about money. This week I share another four that are just as important - one of them even more so.

We're living in an amazing time in history. The opportunities we face today are greater than ever before, and as I've said many times, we have it better than our parents ever did!. Learn why in this week's episode.

This episode covers five things I've done to increase my available time and my energy levels so that I can pursue a few side hustles and diversify my income. Finding the time & energy for a side hustle is hard when you work full-time. If you have a family or you commute long distances to work, it’s REALLY hard. For me, these practices made all the difference.

Businesses big and small are frequently dying or consolidating, meaning our jobs today are far from certain. Freelancing might be the answer you're looking for.

Thanks to the Internet, cloud-based software & easy access to knowledge, we really can work from almost anywhere. Here are the tools & practices to help you do it.

I value working from home more than money, prestige or a fancy job title. That’s because it’s given me something far more important – the freedom and control to live on my terms. But what kind of freedom am I talking about, and why is it so important to me? To explain, let me share a typical day with you. This one happened last autumn, and while it might seem exceptional, it happens like this more often than you’d suppose.

I once had a boss who was a dead ringer for Bill Lumberg from the movie, Office Space, except instead of the braces and tie, she wore a stiff grey power suit. I still remember the daily rounds where she'd sidle up to each desk with, "Whaaat's happening...?" I also remember the smell of synthetic carpet, chosen more for its longevity under heavy foot traffic than its calm-inducing properties.

I remember the acronyms and corporate platitudes that filled our conversations; the gentle hum of fluorescent lighting, and the pale blue palette of cubicles and walls. It was a soul-sucking prison of annual budgets, sales tactics and mechanised behaviours, and after two years, I'd had a gut-full.

That was a long time ago, and no amount of money would lure me back to that environment. That's because today I work where, when and how I want. I walk my son to school and pick him up each day. That alone is worth a few $100k to me.

But how do you 'earn the right' to escape the office and work from home (or anywhere but the office)? I reckon there are three critical things you have to do, and that's what I cover this week.

Figuring out what you want out of life can be hard. I know - I worked at it for decades. But now that I have most of the things I want (many of which aren't actually 'things'), I can honestly say I got them because of what I share in this episode and in this post.

Most of the best lessons in life are simple, and I promise you, this is one of them. It's all thanks to 30 years of mentoring, personal experience and failed experiments.
