Andrew Shell If you've started (or are starting) a company, where did the idea for your company come from? Did you already know your target demographic before you started or did you find it as you went along?

You don't want to be self-employed and you be the system and always be tied down by that business if you aren't there. You should look at network marketing it is the business for the 21st century. Read, Napolean Hills, Think and Grow Rich. David Schwartz's book, The Magic of Thinking Big. Also, Robery Kiyosacki's book The Business for the 21st Century.

The idea came from being in the industry already and I spotted a gap in the market for what I went on to do. Regarding target demographic this grew as the business expanded and we managed that growth. As the business flourished in growth we always developed into new services. Personally you start of with an idea and you cannot help but develop into new markets/services. Whatever works and makes the customer happy! Plus making profit helps

Allan Chang What are tips that work-from-home people have on staying "sane"? I have a friend that started freelancing full-time from home recently, but is having difficulty adjusting to the lifestyle. Limited human interaction, limited availability to leave from the house, etc... How have others managed this transition?

I also worked ALL THE TIME, rather than placing boundaries between my work and personal life.

Now, I'm at home full-time again, and loving it. I keep active on the social networks. I go outside for a half hour walk daily. I do yoga in my living room either in the afternoon or in the evening. I take a hoop dancing class on Wednesday mornings and a callanetics class on Wednesdays evenings. It's all about scheduling non-work time... time to do things for you.

I also make sure to make social plans AT LEAST once a week. I don't want to become a TOTAL recluse. ;)

Vickie Elmer I'm working on some articles and blog posts on time management and productivity for busy creative types - in part to improve my own performance and learn as I write. What's the one tool you find most useful in managing your time, energy and focus? And what are the big time wasters you're trying to shrink or escape from? (I've cut back on Twitter and Facebook lately and it seems to give me more time for summer joy and the work it takes to build my seasonal business Mity Nice.)

I also adhere to a general timeline of events every day with built in break times. That seems to help :)

Why the whiteboard... Not sure I've tried to do it on the computer in many different ways but I always go back to the tangible white board that hangs right next to my desk in my peripheral vision.
