Working from your own office is not only a pleasanter way of life, it can also be more productive and healthier, too.
A study by Henley Offices shows that homeworking can reduce stress, reduce the risk of picking complaints such as colds, and lead to a better quality of life.
“Flexible working arrangements are essential in a world in which two out of three couples are working. It can also reduce stress if a good proportion of our time is spent working from home,” said Cary Cooper, Professor of Psychology and Health at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology.

Testimonials
"I took a chance one day when I was flush and sent a few bucks to gain access to the Go Freelance Professional Edition. Since then, I've edited a sales letter, a follow-up letter, an 11-page Web site, and a brochure. I'm 'on call' to do pinch-hit proofreading for a medical newsletter editor in Florida ..and I've landed a gig editing a new Canadian magazine coming out this fall. All this from taking a chance on Go Freelance."
