Just wanted to show my appreciation too!!! I am busy making lots of notes as I am too in the planning stage of my business and am finding this advice invaluable!!!

Thanks again

I love the tip about keeping a vertical office space to keep the work space organised that is a great point!!

I took a video of my office set up in September 08 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzJ--YN-i8g -- I need to do it again for another project I'm working on, so I'll update when I do... but that will show you my set up, it's changed very little, a little less messy!

Tom's office is one of the spare bedrooms, but I can't stand having all those walls around me. I work out of the dinette adjacent to the kitchen. It looks out over the backyard, so I can watch the kids on the playscape/pool and my bird feeders are back there too.

My office consists of me, a laptop, a printer, and a small filing cabinet. Don't need much else at this point, since I work with mainly bloggers and internet entrepreneurs. Having a really stable laptop is the most important thing to me.

I'd love to see some (more) photos/videos of office set-ups though! For inspiration someday.

Just had a look at your desk set up Candy, looks good, everything in its place and all that. It's given me an idea of the layout, I don't think that I need an awful lot of furniture and 'stuff' initially. Just enough to get me up and running!!

Cheers for that x

As a newbie, I am definitely taking notes for my own business setup. Thank u for starting this thread!

Interesting to see what works for each person and why it works for them. Shows that we really don't need a lot to get started.
Nicely done, Tess.

I am a newbie here too. It is really nice to hear what works for all you more experienced VA's!

Thanks!

All this is good to read. I'm happy to see that most of the equipment being used is what I already have. As a newbie setting up it's good to know I don't have too much further to go to have my office equipped.

Thank you all. I certainly have enjoyed reading this and furiously writing notes on software and other items to research. Great Advise!
