Summary

Work from home is career suicide! Rob knows this isn’t a popular opinion, but felt it was about time he was honest about his thoughts and opinions around working from home. Join him in this episode to learn about the real cost to working from home and why everyone needs to wake up in the UK and get back to the office! KEY TAKEAWAYS Working from home was a good solution for lockdowns because otherwise there wouldn’t have been people working. But we are getting back to ‘normal’ now and we need to be as productive as possible to help the economy recover. At the moment, it’s an employee/candidate job market. Which means they can be a bit choosier and take more from employers. However, this will all change in the next two years when the market switches back. Individuals learn more by seeing. You learn the best and the quickest through osmosis. Being in the office allows you to be inspired by those around you. Both in terms of ideas but also in terms of your career path. You miss all of this at home. There is high demand for those people in relevant roles who are good at working from home. But this only applies to a narrow amount of people. If this is you then you need to ensure you prove to your employer that you are working at full capacity, that you are one of the 'good ones'. There is an exception to all of this. If you want to be an entrepreneur, then you need to learn how to work well from home. But, you earn this right as an entrepreneur once you learn how to motivate, schedule and push yourself. BEST MOMENTS “There’s this pandemic of laziness and entitlement" “The only way you get out of this alive is work more, hustle more, create more and serve more" “How will you spot the next career move from home? You won’t!” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter https://robmoore.com/podbooks rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.
