One of my buddies
is a super skilled
new business developer.
She is one of the people
I bounce ideas off.
Her insights are brilliant
and priceless
and world shifting.
She also happens to be
in a wheelchair.
That doesn’t impact her job
…unless she is forced to work
somewhere that isn’t wheelchair accessible.
She LOVED
the pandemic push
to work from home.
Suddenly, she could work
with EVERY client.
Now that some companies
are returning to
work from the office situations,
her client list has, once again,
shrunk.
Some clients won’t ever be blessed
with her insights
and that is a great loss
for them.
It doesn’t have to be
a great loss for you.
If you design your business
so the employees, the partners
who can do their tasks from home
are allowed to do that,
your choices become unlimited.
You can hire or partner
with the best person
for the task,
not merely the person
who can or wants to
trek to your office.
If you want to build flexibility
into your workforce,
think about always having
a work from home option.
