“Once the world starts working from home and catches on to the idea that we’re just grunting it out like everyone else, will our value suddenly diminish?”

I think the exact opposite would happen. If clients understand that we’re “grunting it out” too and that it’s not exactly a walk in the park, I think our value will last if not increase (wishful thinking!). Perhaps they’d see it’s not as easy as some people think.

I agree with you Lori, I think our value would last. It takes a great deal of self discipline to work from home. I have worked from home and for other people off and on for 25 years. I always end up going back to work from home.

My mother-in-law to this day will ask "What are you doing now?" I say, "Working." She says "Oh, where at?" I reply "At home." She just stares at me.

Perception IS not always reality.
