Plan a space that meets your needs. •Space: Imagine your dream space. You have freedom to create space of your dreams Where is it? What items do you need to have in it? Some questions to ask yourself are: what equipment you’ll need, what things you’ll have to store, and how much privacy you’ll need. Do you need to stay close so you can keep an eye on kids? Do you need a meeting space? Will you have customers or other consultants stopping by?

•Location. Choose a space in your home that best supports those needs. Whether it’s a space bedroom, a corner of living room, a large closet, an attic or a converted garage; find a room that that has enough space for equipment and furniture you need.

•Storage. While not every direct seller needs to keep inventory on hand, those that do know that having an organized space to store product is critical. Make sure that space you choose has ample room for shelving and storage. Think about items you handle on a day to day basis in your business. Now make a list of items. Do you need a bookshelf or wall holders for catalogs and brochures? With proper space and containers too keep your office tidy and you’ll have a clutter free, organized work space.

•Furniture. Next it’s time to outfit your work space with a desk, bookcase, and filing cabinets. Today with boom in home based careers, there is such a variety of office furniture to choose from. Whether it’s a simple desk, an office armoire, or a complete L-shaped unit, make sure you’ll have desktop space you need to keep key items at your fingertips. Dare to splurge a little on getting yourself a comfortable and ergonomically supportive chair. It’s a back-saving and worthwhile investment.
