Working from home

  For many years, I am often asked why I want to work from home without you realizing that is where I work from. In fact, most of my consultant work came from me working from home. I rarely came outside of my home when I provided my services.  "I want to work at home so I can be more productive and use all my available time to focus on my job. Rather than spending an hour a day in commute and furthermore, I can skip traffic and avoid delays due to weather conditions, I could use this time to plan and execute my work. I understand the impact I can have on the environment and wish to reduce it by working from home. I can help the company accomplish its environment-friendly goal by reducing waste and energy use. Moreover, I am more productive when I work from home. I love the work-life balance that working from home offers. When I work remotely, I can focus on my work and more focused when I work from home, where I have fewer distractions. I appreciate building professional relat...

Blogs for marketing and strategy purposes

  " A blogger is  someone who runs and controls a blog . He or she shares his or her opinion and knowledge on different topics for a target audience. Many bloggers feel strongly about an issue or topic, and they are motivated to write about it to bring attention to a need. This might be a social issue or cause, a problem that needs to be fixed, a belief or value that they hold strongly, or just a desire to help people. Blogging  enables you to reach the billions of people that use the Internet . Blogging can help you promote yourself or your business. Blogging works as a method for attracting an audience because it provides something of value to them before asking for anything in return.

Art and Literature

    "Art and literature are fundamental to the human experience. They allow people to express themselves and to connect to one another. All human cultures produce some form of art; it is a universal human cultural touchstone." In fact book covers, brochures, book marks, flyers, post cards are created by consultants like myself. Some books are solely published using pictures. So, how can you say literature is separate from visual arts?
