Stand Out in Remote Work

Hello
,
it's
Alex
from
Remote
Work
Life
here
.
I
hope
you
had
a
good
week
,
hope
you
had
a
good
weekend
as
well
,
and
I
wish
you
a
good
week
ahead
.
Just
want
to
say
thank
you
,
as
usual
as
ever
,
for
tuning
in
.
I
appreciate
it
so
much
.
The
numbers
I'm
keeping
an
eye
on
the
numbers
because
I'm
quite
,
I
suppose
,
a
geek
where
that
is
concerned
.
I
like
to
kind
of
analyse
numbers
in
terms
of
the
downloads
of
the
show
,
and
they're
on
the
upward
curve
,
which
I
guess
is
a
good
sign
.
So
thank
you
if
you're
tuning
in
for
the
first
time
and
thank
you
if
you
are
a
regular
listener
.
I
appreciate
you
so
much
and
I
just
want
to
just
say
yeah
,
say
thank
you
,
but
you
know
,
don't
just
leave
it
at
listening
.
Just
say
yeah
,
say
thank
you
,
but
you
know
,
don't
just
leave
it
at
listening
.
Please
get
in
touch
,
as
I
always
say
as
well
.
Please
get
in
touch
via
my
profile
,
say
hello
,
just
let
me
know
what
your
thoughts
are
.
If
you
want
to
get
involved
in
the
show
or
if
you
want
to
ask
a
particular
question
that
you
want
me
to
cover
on
the
podcast
,
you're
more
than
welcome
to
get
in
touch
with
me
via
first
.
So
,
yes
,
and
today's
show
is
for
you
if
you
are
in
the
search
for
work
that
allows
you
to
work
more
flexibly
,
to
work
on
a
remote
basis
in
this
instance
and
lots
and
lots
of
people
ask
questions
online
about
how
to
get
into
remote
work
.
Or
I
can
see
as
well
.
I
mean
,
I
have
a
group
on
Facebook
.
It's
not
as
active
as
it
could
be
or
it
should
be
,
just
haven't
had
much
time
to
get
in
there
but
the
majority
,
I'd
say
90%
of
the
questions
center
around
how
to
find
remote
work
,
how
to
get
remote
opportunities
,
flexible
work
,
etc
.
Etc
.
So
and
it's
a
question
that
is
a
question
that
comes
up
often
,
it's
a
recurring
question
.
So
I
want
to
address
that
question
from
the
standpoint
of
really
giving
you
a
few
reasons
as
to
why
no
one
will
hire
you
on
a
remote
basis
,
or
you
know
things
in
which
you're
probably
doing
that
could
either
put
people
off
or
just
really
,
I
suppose
,
lessen
your
opportunity
to
get
the
kind
of
work
that
you
want
.
And
,
in
fact
,
some
of
the
things
that
I'm
going
to
cover
don't
just
apply
to
remote
work
,
they
apply
to
work
in
general
.
Speaker 1
2:35
But
before
I
get
into
the
show
,
I
just
want
to
just
to
apologize
,
because
I'm
in
my
studio
today
and
I
obviously
do
regular
podcasting
,
and
I
don't
have
a
studio
which
is
completely
soundproof
.
I
don't
soundproof
everything
.
In
fact
.
I'm
quite
near
to
a
road
and
there's
background
noise
and
often
I'm
sometimes
quite
a
perfectionist
where
my
podcasts
are
concerned
.
Anyway
,
I
want
it
to
be
completely
quiet
,
but
I've
just
come
to
the
conclusion
that
that
is
never
going
to
be
the
case
,
and
it
just
this
morning
I
heard
some
um
,
some
builders
pull
up
next
door
and
that's
the
podcaster's
worst
nightmare
.
I
can
hear
banging
and
I
can
hear
drilling
.
So
I
hope
it's
not
interrupting
your
enjoyment
of
the
show
.
But
yeah
,
I
just
thought
let's
just
do
it
anyway
and
just
see
what
happens
.
So
if
you
hear
noises
in
the
background
,
that's
what
it
is
.
Speaker 1
3:37
But
anyway
,
let's
get
on
with
these
reasons
as
to
why
no
one
will
hire
you
or
people
will
be
put
off
hiring
you
.
If
you're
looking
for
remote
work
and
these
again
in
no
particular
order
just
let
me
know
what
you
think
.
So
number
one
,
on
my
list
at
least
,
is
you
go
on
about
working
remotely
so
that
you
can
I
don't
know
drop
your
kids
off
at
school
or
you
can
work
from
home
in
your
pyjamas
or
take
your
dog
for
a
walk
at
lunchtime
,
whatever
it
may
be
,
and
I
think
this
is
.
I
mean
,
these
are
all
nice
things
to
have
when
you
work
on
a
remote
basis
,
but
these
are
just
things
that
fulfill
your
own
desires
.
I
think
what
you've
got
to
do
is
really
okay
put
those
sorts
of
things
to
the
back
of
your
mind
.
Don't
talk
about
them
in
an
open
forum
,
online
or
whatever
it
may
be
,
because
I
could
tell
you
now
from
the
conversations
I've
had
from
a
variety
of
CEOs
,
a
variety
of
hiring
managers
,
that's
one
of
the
things
that
really
puts
them
off
remotely
.
Speaker 1
4:47
Already
.
They
live
that
life
themselves
.
In
fact
,
sometimes
the
reason
they
set
up
and
want
to
hire
remotely
is
because
they
wanted
those
benefits
themselves
.
But
the
last
thing
that
they
want
to
hear
is
somebody
talking
about
what
they
want
.
What
they
really
want
to
hear
is
you
talking
about
what
you
can
give
them
,
what
benefits
there
are
to
hiring
you
,
how
can
you
take
their
business
forward
,
how
can
you
take
the
team
forward
?
That's
,
first
and
foremost
,
what
should
be
at
the
forefront
of
your
mind
.
If
you
keep
talking
and
going
on
about
the
benefits
to
you
,
then
sometimes
that
kind
of
permeates
into
your
conversations
or
it
may
even
sort
of
show
its
face
when
you
have
an
interview
or
face-to-face
meeting
with
them
.
Speaker 1
5:31
So
put
those
things
to
the
back
of
your
mind
.
Concentrate
on
thinking
about
.
You
know
how
you
can
benefit
that
particular
company
,
look
at
the
job
description
,
look
at
the
job
spec
,
look
at
their
website
,
understand
the
business
,
understand
what
they're
looking
for
and
see
how
you
can
fit
into
that
equation
to
help
them
out
.
So
that's
the
first
thing
on
my
list
.
Number
two
on
my
list
is
you
give
up
after
your
first
interview
or
rejection
.
Well
,
chances
are
,
when
you're
looking
for
any
kind
of
opportunity
,
you
may
not
get
the
first
opportunity
that
comes
your
way
.
So
you
know
you
may
have
to
have
a
number
of
different
interviews
.
It
can
be
disheartening
,
actually
,
when
you
have
an
interview
that
doesn't
go
well
.
Speaker 1
6:19
Nobody
likes
to
be
rejected
,
but
you
just
have
to
keep
going
.
You
have
to
pick
yourself
up
and
keep
going
.
Just
tell
yourself
that
you
know
this
wasn't
the
right
opportunity
for
me
.
They
,
you
know
,
they
don't
know
what
they're
missing
out
on
.
You've
got
to
really
try
and
keep
a
positive
mind
and
keep
going
.
You
may
get
rejected
on
a
number
of
different
occasions
but
,
um
,
keeping
that
spirit
going
and
actually
talking
to
other
people
and
sharing
your
frustrations
,
sharing
your
concerns
,
can
help
to
alleviate
some
of
that
sense
of
rejection
that
you're
feeling
.
So
,
if
you
are
in
this
whole
process
of
looking
for
work
and
you've
been
rejected
along
the
way
,
try
and
get
people
on
board
with
you
to
support
you
along
the
way
.
Speaker 1
7:05
I
think
in
many
cases
you
can't
do
it
yourself
.
You've
got
to
have
that
support
network
around
you
,
whether
that's
your
family
,
whether
that's
your
close
friends
,
whether
that's
your
close
colleagues
,
whether
that's
a
coach
.
I
mean
,
I'm
a
coach
myself
.
I've
helped
a
number
of
people
to
get
work
and
I'm
there
to
support
them
through
that
process
as
well
.
So
,
you
know
,
I
think
having
some
sort
of
,
as
I
said
,
support
network
there
is
important
,
and
rejection
is
not
just
from
interview
,
but
rejection
could
be
,
I
don't
know
you
might
have
applied
to
a
role
online
,
or
you
might
have
applied
by
or
whatever
it
may
be
,
and
you
get
rejected
for
whatever
reason
.
Speaker 1
7:45
I
think
,
again
,
you've
just
got
to
.
You've
got
to
keep
going
.
You've
got
to
just
um
,
keep
going
and
and
really
have
a
goal
in
mind
,
really
have
your
objective
in
mind
.
So
that's
number
two
on
my
list
.
You
,
you
just
give
up
too
early
,
um
,
in
the
process
.
It's
.
It's
a
process
.
Sometimes
when
you're
looking
for
a
new
job
,
it
can
take
a
couple
of
months
sometimes
to
look
for
a
new
job
.
I've
had
people
where
it's
taken
them
three
months
to
look
for
a
new
role
.
But
,
like
I
said
,
you've
got
to
keep
going
.
In
many
ways
it's
a
numbers
game
,
so
keep
going
.
Speaker 1
8:20
Number
three
on
my
list
is
you
don't
highlight
your
transferable
skills
.
So
this
is
more
for
the
people
who
perhaps
haven't
worked
on
a
remote
basis
previously
,
and
by
not
highlighting
transferable
skills
,
I
mean
a
lot
of
the
time
.
Managers
who
hire
remotely
are
probably
more
interested
in
people
who
have
what
it
takes
,
I
guess
,
or
have
worked
on
a
remote
basis
before
,
because
they
understand
that
not
everybody
is
suited
to
working
remotely
.
So
they're
very
interested
in
people
who
have
either
worked
remotely
or
who
have
,
at
the
very
least
,
show
some
capacity
to
work
on
a
remote
basis
.
So
if
you
haven't
worked
on
a
remote
remote
basis
,
you
need
to
highlight
things
that
you
may
have
done
,
um
that
I
suppose
are
applicable
and
transferable
to
that
environment
.
So
,
for
example
,
you
may
have
hired
or
you
may
have
managed
teams
in
different
locations
across
the
world
.
Speaker 1
9:21
You
may
have
,
you
know
,
on
the
odd
day
,
worked
remotely
yourself
at
home
and
,
you
know
,
given
examples
of
projects
that
you've
been
able
to
fulfill
successfully
can
be
your
way
of
showing
that
you
have
the
capacity
to
work
on
a
remote
basis
.
The
only
way
that
you
can
really
show
that
is
in
the
first
instance
,
is
obviously
things
like
your
profile
or
,
you
know
,
your
social
media
profiles
,
your
resume
,
that
sort
of
thing
.
So
if
you
,
if
you
just
take
for
granted
and
send
your
CV
without
sort
of
tailoring
it
,
your
resume
without
tailoring
it
,
then
it
may
be
that
you
could
really
sell
yourself
short
and
perhaps
not
get
as
far
in
the
process
as
you
want
.
So
you
really
need
to
highlight
the
skills
that
are
transferable
,
and
they're
not
just
things
like
how
you've
worked
,
but
applications
that
you
might
have
used
.
So
,
for
example
,
as
I've
said
in
previous
episodes
,
these
remote
businesses
they
tend
to
use
a
lot
of
cloud-based
applications
like
,
I
don't
know
,
hubspot
,
slack
,
that
sort
of
thing
,
to
get
their
work
done
.
So
,
again
,
you
may
have
used
those
sorts
of
applications
.
So
highlighting
them
on
your
resume
,
on
your
CV
,
in
your
conversations
,
is
something
that's
going
to
put
you
in
good
stead
.
So
think
about
that
as
well
.
Maximizing Your Job Search Efforts
Speaker 1
10:36
That
was
number
three
.
So
number
four
on
my
list
is
you
don't
network
in
your
job
search
and
I
think
this
is
a
big
one
,
I
mean
,
is
is
massive
when
it
comes
to
uh
seeking
opportunities
,
whether
that's
new
jobs
or
uh
business
opportunities
you
have
to
use
your
network
,
no
matter
how
small
your
network
is
.
Even
if
you've
got
a
network
of
hundreds
of
people
or
tens
,
tens
,
uh
of
people
or
,
you
know
,
in
the
double
digits
or
whatever
it
may
be
,
um
,
using
your
network
is
going
to
be
it's
gold
dust
to
you
.
Speaking
to
people
in
your
network
to
find
out
not
only
what's
going
on
in
the
network
,
to
see
what
sort
of
opportunities
that
they're
aware
of
they
may
be
able
to
introduce
you
to
people
who
are
hiring
,
you've
got
to
speak
,
you've
got
to
work
your
network
alongside
other
forms
of
looking
for
for
work
that's
just
networking
is
just
one
way
in
which
you
can
look
for
work
,
and
one
of
the
reasons
actually
I
I
started
this
podcast
was
because
not
only
did
I
want
to
highlight
all
the
benefits
of
of
remote
work
,
I
wanted
to
highlight
the
great
work
that
that
that's
uh
some
some
of
the
businesses
businesses
are
doing
.
Speaker 1
11:46
I
also
wanted
to
connect
with
other
people
across
the
world
.
I
want
to
connect
with
um
,
with
businesses
,
with
with
leaders
,
with
with
people
who
just
have
a
shared
interest
in
remote
work
.
So
,
hint
,
hints
.
So
if
you're
,
if
you
are
interested
in
remote
work
and
interested
in
just
even
having
conversations
about
what
you're
doing
,
how
you're
working
,
how
you're
sort
of
overcoming
your
challenges
,
then
get
in
touch
.
So
ask
questions
,
don't
be
afraid
to
ask
questions
,
don't
be
afraid
to
connect
with
people
via
or
whatever
it
may
be
.
As
long
as
the
questions
don't
,
you
know
,
are
,
you
know
,
not
too
many
and
I
guess
don't
waste
people's
time
you
know
not
too
many
and
I
guess
don't
waste
people's
time
but
basic
questions
,
then
you
know
it's
probably
worth
trying
to
connect
.
And
again
,
if
you
don't
hear
back
from
somebody
,
don't
get
disheartened
.
Move
on
to
somebody
else
until
you
connect
with
people
who
have
a
,
I
suppose
,
a
shared
interest
or
who
share
your
interest
,
who
share
your
values
,
and
then
you
can
get
a
conversation
going
.
But
definitely
use
your
networks
and
ask
the
right
questions
,
um
,
and
don't
waste
anybody's
time
,
I
guess
.
Another
thing
I'm
saying
.
So
that
was
,
um
,
using
your
network
.
That
was
number
four
.
Speaker 1
12:57
Number
five
you
expect
others
to
look
for
work
on
your
behalf
,
and
this
is
something
I
got
quite
a
lot
when
I
worked
in
the
world
of
recruitment
I
I
still
do
a
lot
of
consultancy
now
in
terms
of
hiring
and
hiring
advice
,
but
when
I
worked
in
recruitment
,
what
I
tended
to
get
was
lots
of
people
coming
to
me
and
saying
,
alex
,
I've
just
been
made
redundant
,
or
I've
just
lost
my
job
redundant
,
or
I've
just
lost
my
job
.
Here's
my
CV
.
Can
you
look
for
a
role
in
a
startup
,
a
startup
software
development
team
?
Or
,
alex
,
I'm
really
struggling
to
find
a
new
role
.
Nobody's
responding
to
my
applications
online
.
Here's
my
CV
.
Can
you
look
for
a
job
for
me
?
Now
?
Speaker 1
13:44
These
are
often
the
people
that
really
talk
about
you
know
.
You
know
their
lack
of
ability
to
find
a
job
and
that
they
perhaps
don't
understand
the
,
I
suppose
,
the
mechanisms
that
they
have
to
go
through
in
order
to
get
a
job
and
the
fact
that
recruitment
consultants
are
not
there
to
look
for
jobs
on
their
behalf
.
Recruitment
consultants
don't
do
that
.
What
recruitment
consultants
do
is
they
have
their
priority
really
is
their
client
.
They
look
for
um
people
who
suit
suit
the
roles
that
their
clients
advertise
.
They're
not
gonna
or
very
,
very
rarely
are
they
gonna
go
and
take
your
cv
and
look
for
a
role
on
your
behalf
.
So
,
whatever
you
do
,
don't
do
that
um
with
recruiters
,
um
,
don't
expect
other
people
to
look
for
you
.
Speaker 1
14:34
You
have
to
do
the
looking
95
,
99%
of
the
searching
yourself
,
and
again
,
it
takes
time
.
There's
a
you
know
,
there's
this
,
I
suppose
,
an
adage
that
looking
for
a
job
is
a
job
in
itself
.
So
you've
got
to
be
prepared
to
do
the
hard
yard
yourself
,
get
grafting
,
get
looking
and
looking
.
You
know
,
take
the
time
to
do
that
,
set
aside
a
certain
amount
of
time
per
day
.
You
probably
want
to
set
aside
at
least
an
hour
a
day
looking
for
a
job
.
Once
you've
got
all
your
marketing
materials
together
together
,
you
at
least
want
to
apply
for
I
mean
,
if
you're
not
working
at
the
moment
,
or
even
if
you
are
working
at
the
moment
and
you're
looking
to
move
on
,
if
you
can
at
least
apply
to
one
or
two
jobs
per
day
,
then
you
can
get
the
momentum
going
in
terms
of
getting
responses
from
potential
employers
.
You
get
the
momentum
going
,
and
that
has
to
be
done
consistently
over
a
period
of
time
.
So
,
yeah
,
as
you
can
see
,
it
does
take
a
certain
amount
of
effort
on
your
part
,
a
lot
of
effort
on
your
part
.
So
don't
expect
that
other
people
are
going
to
do
it
for
you
.
So
that
was
number
five
,
I
believe
,
so
number
six
on
my
list
.
Speaker 1
15:54
You
sent
your
resume
,
your
CV
,
but
you
don't
have
data
.
So
what
do
I
mean
by
data
?
So
often
what
I
find
is
lots
of
people
apply
for
jobs
online
via
job
boards
,
or
they
apply
directly
to
employers
,
or
they've
sent
their
CV
,
they've
got
the
interview
,
they're
not
successful
with
the
interview
and
they
just
leave
it
at
that
.
They
don't
have
any
data
to
kind
of
understand
what's
going
on
.
So
let's
just
rewind
a
bit
.
Speaker 1
16:25
So
,
from
the
standpoint
of
applying
to
jobs
via
the
job
boards
or
email
,
you
need
at
some
point
I
know
job
boards
are
a
bit
more
difficult
,
but
you
need
at
some
point
to
get
some
feedback
.
So
you
have
to
follow
up
with
the
application
,
maybe
a
few
days
later
,
you
know
,
just
to
see
,
firstly
,
if
they've
got
your
CV
.
Secondly
,
you
know
what
are
the
next
steps
.
You
may
not
get
a
response
first
of
next
steps
.
You
may
not
get
a
response
first
of
all
.
You
may
not
get
a
response
second
time
around
.
If
you
don't
get
a
response
third
time
,
then
probably
it's
likely
that
you're
not
going
to
hear
back
,
but
you
should
at
least
try
to
get
some
,
some
data
to
understand
where
you
stand
and
also
,
if
you're
not
successful
,
why
you're
not
successful
.
Speaker 1
17:12
So
so
and
that's
that
also
applies
to
interviews
as
well
so
,
if
you've
had
an
interview
and
you've
not
heard
back
,
or
you
you're
not
successful
,
then
you
need
to
,
you
really
need
to
get
some
data
to
understand
why
you
weren't
successful
.
Because
if
you
don't
have
data
,
then
how
can
you
improve
,
how
can
you
make
improvements
next
time
around
?
How
can
you
improve
your
,
your
resume
If
you
don't
have
any
data
on
your
application
?
How
can
you
improve
,
how
can
you
make
improvements
next
time
around
?
How
can
you
improve
your
,
your
resume
if
you
don't
have
any
data
on
your
application
?
How
can
you
improve
your
interview
technique
or
your
,
your
performance
interview
,
if
you
don't
understand
where
your
limitations
are
?
So
you
need
to
to
to
get
data
.
If
you
can't
get
data
,
if
you
oh
sorry
,
if
you
can't
get
it
first
time
around
,
then
don't
give
up
on
it
.
You
know
,
try
,
as
I
said
,
to
to
dig
for
at
least
a
little
bit
of
feedback
if
you
can
.
Don't
spend
too
much
uh
,
time
and
effort
doing
it
,
because
obviously
you've
got
to
apply
for
other
things
along
the
way
,
but
what
I'm
saying
here
is
at
least
try
to
follow
up
.
Okay
,
so
data
number
seven
.
You
don't
know
what
you're
about
and
what
you
stand
for
and
I
think
this
is
probably
the
most
important
thing
on
this
list
,
although
I've
left
it
to
the
last
to
mention
it
Any
sort
of
,
I
suppose
,
research
or
I
suppose
,
execution
of
your
job
search
is
going
to
first
involve
you
having
a
deep
look
at
yourself
to
understand
yourself
before
you
start
out
,
because
what
you
find
is
,
if
you
don't
look
at
yourself
,
then
you
don't
know
what
direction
in
which
you
need
to
go
.
Understanding Your Self and Values
Speaker 1
18:59
When
I
say
the
sorts
of
things
that
you
need
to
look
at
,
that
is
so
.
What
I'm
talking
about
is
things
like
what
skills
do
you
have
that
could
be
,
you
know
,
really
of
use
to
your
next
employer
?
And
when
I
say
skills
,
I
mean
skills
that
you've
got
to
.
You've
brought
these
skills
to
a
level
of
real
expertise
where
you
can
stand
alone
,
where
you
can
be
an
advisor
to
your
teammates
and
to
the
business
as
a
whole
,
somebody
that
has
developed
that
real
expertise
in
that
area
,
that
skills
that
you're
really
confident
in
,
so
that
you
can
then
instill
confidence
in
people
who
are
hiring
you
.
So
really
think
about
that
.
Speaker 1
19:42
Another
thing
to
think
about
in
terms
of
what
you're
about
is
your
strengths
,
because
your
strengths
may
be
,
I
don't
know
,
um
,
coaching
people
or
managing
people
or
,
I
don't
know
,
working
on
projects
.
I
don't
know
.
Whatever
it
may
be
,
really
think
about
where
your
strengths
are
.
Your
strength
could
be
with
people
and
sort
of
getting
people
on
board
with
new
ideas
.
Really
understand
yourself
because
,
again
,
remote
teams
are
all
about
people
,
whichever
way
you
look
at
it
,
whether
they're
tech
businesses
,
whether
they're
service
related
businesses
or
product
related
business
,
I
don't
,
it
doesn't
matter
they're
all
about
people
,
because
people
is
what
makes
these
businesses
thrive
and
tick
and
work
.
So
if
that's
one
of
your
strengths
,
you
need
to
really
understand
it
and
use
that
as
an
asset
when
you
are
doing
all
your
networking
.
Speaker 1
20:35
So
other
things
that
you
need
to
understand
about
yourself
and
what
you're
all
about
is
your
values
,
because
,
again
,
lots
of
the
best
businesses
and
especially
the
best
remote
businesses
are
very
much
they
like
to
highlight
their
values
,
because
that
is
almost
like
a
signpost
,
a
flag
that
they're
waving
out
there
to
say
this
is
who
we
are
.
You
know
,
if
you
agree
with
these
or
if
you're
anything
like
us
,
then
we
want
to
sort
of
like
hear
from
you
,
especially
if
they're
hiring
.
So
it's
almost
like
it's
their
way
of
kind
of
describing
who
they
are
and
again
,
it's
their
way
of
describing
who
they
are
.
And
again
,
for
remote
businesses
,
the
way
that
they
communicate
is
through
words
.
They
communicate
a
lot
through
words
,
through
writing
,
through
speaking
to
one
another
,
through
understanding
each
other
.
Speaker 1
21:28
And
if
you
can
understand
your
own
values
,
then
you'll
begin
to
really
open
things
up
in
terms
of
the
sorts
of
people
who
you
connect
with
and
you'll
be
able
to
have
conversations
that
are
meaningful
and
you'll
be
able
to
really
understand
each
other
on
a
deeper
level
and
it
will
just
become
natural
.
It
won't
be
,
oh
,
I
want
a
remote
job
because
I
want
to
take
my
kids
to
school
in
the
morning
.
It'll
be
on
a
much
deeper
level
,
much
more
meaningful
level
.
And
then
,
once
you've
had
that
meaningful
conversation
,
then
you'll
start
to
talk
about
oh
,
my
kids
are
this
year
,
my
kids
are
five
years
old
this
year
,
they're
just
starting
school
.
So
do
you
know
what
I
mean
?
It
kind
of
,
if
you
start
with
those
sorts
of
things
first
,
other
things
develop
and
things
become
more
natural
in
your
communication
and
your
conversations
and
they
will
,
they
will
sort
of
infiltrate
into
the
conversations
that
you
have
at
a
business
level
and
at
an
interview
level
.
So
you'll
have
much
more
success
,
so
values
your
passions
as
well
.
Speaker 1
22:26
That's
another
thing
about
knowing
yourself
,
because
you
as
a
as
a
worker
,
as
a
remote
worker
,
as
a
remote
worker
,
as
a
person
,
you
need
passions
outside
of
work
.
You
need
passions
that
,
in
some
cases
,
are
aligned
with
your
work
as
well
.
I
mean
,
I
love
technology
,
and
technology
is
something
that
I
have
really
spent
a
lot
of
time
trying
to
understand
,
and
how
technology
is
affecting
the
lives
of
people
and
what
it
means
for
the
future
.
What
are
the
,
I
suppose
,
the
trends
and
the
ideas
around
how
technology
can
really
make
people's
lives
better
,
and
that
,
again
,
those
sorts
of
things
.
If
you
can
understand
your
passions
,
you
can
those
sorts
of
things
can
infiltrate
into
your
conversations
and
it
just
becomes
natural
and
people
connect
with
you
on
that
basis
and
they
want
to
know
more
about
you
and
what
you're
doing
,
what
projects
you're
working
on
,
etc
.
Etc
.
So
,
yeah
,
that's
that's
knowing
yourself
.
It's
just
so
,
it's
so
liberating
for
you
.
You'll
understand
,
once
you
know
yourself
,
that
you
know
you
won't
necessarily
need
to
think
about
other
things
.
Speaker 1
23:36
That
I
suppose
,
as
I
mentioned
before
,
that
are
the
benefits
of
remote
work
.
You
think
about
the
things
that
are
important
to
you
in
your
job
,
in
your
career
and
,
in
fact
,
if
you
start
to
understand
yourself
better
,
then
,
as
I
said
,
it
opens
up
opportunities
for
you
.
It
also
makes
it
a
lot
easier
for
you
to
to
find
businesses
that
are
aligned
with
with
with
what
you
like
,
with
your
passions
,
with
your
strengths
,
with
your
skills
,
with
your
values
,
with
your
you
,
with
your
own
personal
mission
as
well
.
That's
important
too
.
So
that's
it
.
I
mean
these
are
reasons
why
I
mean
,
if
you
haven't
gone
into
any
of
these
things
,
if
you
haven't
investigated
any
of
the
things
that
I've
just
mentioned
on
this
list
,
then
please
start
to
do
them
.
I
think
if
at
least
you
start
to
do
these
,
you'll
begin
.
It
begins
to
open
up
ideas
for
you
,
begin
to
open
up
avenues
,
and
I
hope
that
things
will
get
clearer
for
you
.
Speaker 1
24:32
If
you've
got
any
questions
on
any
of
these
things
,
as
I
said
,
please
by
all
means
get
in
touch
.
I
keep
saying
it
,
but
my
details
are
in
the
show
notes
.
Please
say
hello
,
please
connect
with
me
via
LinkedIn
.
We
can
start
a
conversation
and
if
you
would
like
to
be
a
guest
on
the
podcast
,
let
me
know
as
well
.
I'm
looking
for
more
guests
.
I
have
a
few
guests
coming
up
very
soon
as
I
keep
saying
um
,
but
I
would
love
to
hear
from
more
people
,
not
just
,
in
fact
,
not
just
people
who
,
who
run
their
own
businesses
.
Sharing Success Stories in Remote Work
Speaker 1
25:06
You
could
be
a
solopreneur
,
you
could
be
working
on
your
own
sort
of
business
.
You
could
have
had
success
in
what
you're
doing
.
You
could
be
,
I
don't
know
,
an
e-commerce
store
owner
.
You
could
be
,
um
,
somebody
who's
doing
marketing
in
or
on
a
remote
basis
and
you've
had
some
success
,
or
you've
got
a
story
to
tell
.
Uh
,
you
don't
necessarily
have
to
be
somebody
who
owns
a
business
with
lots
of
people
,
just
just
somebody
who's
had
or
who
has
an
anecdote
to
share
that
you
feel
could
benefit
the
remote
work
life
audience
.
Well
,
that's
it
for
me
for
now
.
As
I
said
,
get
in
touch
via
the
show
notes
,
let
me
know
your
questions
and
I
will
speak
to
you
on
another
episode
.
Thank
you
