One of the reasons owning a home business is many people’s dream job is the desire for flexibility. Working 9 to 5 or longer, plus the added time of commuting means a large chunk of time daily is spent either going to, coming home from, or being at work. In fact, many individuals spend way more time at work than they do at home. This is probably why so many of us set regular business hours when we launch our home businesses.

“No one can whistle a symphony. It takes a whole orchestra to play it.” Those are the words of Halford E. Luccock, a prominent professor at Yale Divinity School. It’s nice, but it boils down to another, prettier way of saying collaboration is key. And it is.

We can probably all agree: Business abbreviations are the worst! When you don’t know what they mean, they sound like random letters thrown together to make some people feel superior and leave the rest of us feeling totally confused and ignorant. The professional development world is full of abbreviations too, and they can be just as confusing. PIP and PDP are two common abbreviations that cause a lot of confusion.
