Welcome to the Remote Work Starter Kit! Here’s what’s inside…

And how it will help you create your dream remote office without wasting money on entry-level gear)

Welcome to the Remote Work Starter Kit! I'm thrilled you've joined me on this journey to creating your ideal remote workspace.

Before we dive in, I want to share something important:

The transition to remote work isn't just about having a laptop and internet connection. It's about creating an environment where you can do your best work, maintain your health, and actually enjoy working from home.

Unfortunately, most new remote workers learn this the hard way. They struggle with poor video quality during important meetings, develop neck pain from improper ergonomics, and find themselves working longer hours with less to show for it.

Let's break down exactly what we’ll cover in this course:

• The "I'll just use my laptop's built-in everything" trap. We'll explore why relying on basic built-in equipment hurts your professional image, and I'll share specific recommendations for creating a pro-level video and audio setup that fits your budget.
• The "My kitchen chair works fine" myth. You'll discover why proper ergonomics matter more than ever in remote work, and learn how to set up a workspace that protects your long-term health (without spending thousands on overpriced furniture).
• The "Just one quick check" focus destroyer. I'll reveal why constant notifications are costing you hours of productivity each day, and show you how to create distraction-free zones in even the smallest spaces.
• The "Always available" workday chaos. Together, we'll tackle the biggest challenge of remote work – maintaining boundaries. You'll get practical templates for communicating with family and coworkers about your availability.
• The "Basic setup" tech stack trap. We'll explore the premium tools and software that actually pay for themselves in improved productivity, and I'll show you hidden features in common tools you're probably underutilizing.

📋 How optimized is your current setup?

Before we begin, take a moment to ask yourself:

• Do colleagues frequently comment about your video or audio quality?
• Do you experience neck, back, or wrist pain after work?
• Do you find yourself constantly distracted by notifications?
