The Need for Speed


Time is very valuable when you are an Employee and an Entrepreneur. Besides work, you need to also make time for family, friends, chores, personal business, etc. You have no time to wait for slow downloading pages or slow sending emails with large files to important clients. A high-speed Internet connection at home is a must for any moonlighting entrepreneur (M.E.).

I also have a wireless router so that I am not chained to my desk with my laptop. Make sure you purchase a laptop that has built in wireless. This way you can work wireless at home through your wireless router and also access the Internet at cafés like Starbucks and Panera Bread. These are perfect “After the 9 to 5” meeting spots to meet clients at or just take a break before heading to your home office.

Another thing that can greatly speed up how fast you work is to make sure your home business computer has enough memory (RAM) and processing speed. Most of the computers now come with 1 gig of RAM and around a 2.0 GHz processor. That should be enough for the basic M.E.
