Q: Everyone says you should have a separate entrance to yourhome office, but this is impossible for me. In fact, people have totrudge through my living room to get to my office. How do Imaintain a professional image with my clients, considering mycircumstances?

A: While a separate entrance is certainly ideal, it is byno means necessary. Very few people are lucky enough to have aseparate entrance for their businesses, including us. Not one ofour three homes has had a home office with a separate entrance.
