Hi Suja

If at all your home is isolated or your neighbours are far away, then the best you can do is try to rent a small office in an area near your house which is bit populated.

Here are some other suggestions:

1) Try to have a seperate entrance for your home office. This will prevent strangers from knowing more details about your home, like how is it furnished, how many members reside etc.

2) Install some security device like siren which you can use to alert neighbours in case of emergency.

3) Keep a dog. Not a Pomeranian or Chihuahua Laughing

Preferably a Rottweiler or Doberman. Even the sight of a Rottweiler sends shiver through my spine!

Giving a walk to your dog can be a great exercise for home workers too!

Best wishes,

Vishal

Hi Suja,

I would also make sure to stick to the hours you list for business. Example if someone comes after the stated time I would use a sign or something and don't answer the door or phone. Plus I would make sure someone friend, neighbor someone is there with me at all times I do business.
