A phone call usually sorted things out, and sometimes a visit to the client was needed.<\/p>\n<p>I never use the fax machine now, and rarely speak to clients on the phone. The modem is like a rocket ship, compared to the turtle that I started with, and most of my work is done by email.<\/p>\n<p>Things sure have changed for my home based business, and I\u2019ve never regretted my decision to work from home.<\/p>\n<p>_________<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019ve been travelling to a client\u2019s office this week, finishing up an Excel project.
