Working from home seems like a fairytale for some entrepreneurs, given its ease, accessibility, and comfort. Although the location is ideal, this prime real estate isn’t always productive or even practical.

That’s why you should take a few moments to check out my tips for building your work-from-home castle. Time to rule your entrepreneurial kingdom without getting locked in the dungeon!

For most entrepreneurs the idea of working from home seems ideal. What a great time saver/commute saver! But the reality is, for most entrepreneurs, it’s a disaster.

As someone who’s successful and works from home, and has helped others set-up that kind of environment, I want to share with you three tips that are best understood through the metaphor of a castle.

First, a castle must have a moat. The moat represents a separation of time between you working in the business and everything else. Create a clear stop and start time for each day.

Next, a castle must have a tower. This represents a physical separation. Move your office away from the rest of the house if possible, and create a sound barrier such as white noise.

And finally, a bridge. The bridge is how you cross the moat each day. This is a small set aside amount of time to allow you to power down, stop thinking about work, and then begin to be a part of the home.

Now, I’d like you to share in the comments section below—how have you successfully set-up a home office?

Also, if you have a question you’d like me to answer in a future video, ask that below as well.

Thanks for watching. Now rule your castle wisely.
