Step 1
Invest in a Blackberry or iPhone with internet access. You will be able to access your email from just about anywhere. Or, you can invest in a mini-computer with a broadband card. Again, you will be able to access the internet from most locations and perform simple tasks online.

Step 2
If you need to create text documents, spreadsheets, graphics, or streaming video, you may need a laptop or notebook computer with more RAM and software. You will also need either a broadband card, or a wireless hotspot.

Step 3
Consider hiring a virtual assistant to help you manage your virtual office. A virtual assistant is an administrative assistant who works for you from another location. Virtual assistants perform tasks such as answering emails, returning customer phone calls, scheduling meetings and appointments, social networking, writing articles, website management, and book keeping.

Step 4
Outsource as much as possible. Use other people's time to get tasks done while you spend your time bringing in more than you pay your outsourced help.

on 11/6/2009 This is something I have been working towards the last few months, mainly so I can work from home in the event of illness or going on vacation. There are also several software companies that allow you remote access to your office computer files so you can work from anywhere if the need arises. Great article!

on 11/5/2009 Love this idea. Outsourcing doesn't have to be a dirty word. If it can make you more efficient and create income for someone else who needs it, it's a win win situation.
