We have left summer in the dust and are well into the fall season. Pumpkin-spiced everything, dusting off those sweaters, taking pics at apple orchards — what’s not to love about this time of year? Many consider fall as a period of reflection and tranquility.
Take a look around your at-home workspace. What emotions do you feel each day as you settle into the workday? Do you still get a spark of inspiration from a glance around the room? Your home office set-up should inspire you to sit (or stand) for hours while working hard on your venture.
Perhaps this gift guide can be useful for you as a business owner in need of an office and home switch-up. On the other hand, if you have a number of family members or friends who have decided to trek their own paths in the wake of the pandemic, and are launching their own businesses, there may be a few options to help get them on the right path as well.
