We asked leaders who’ve made remote-work effective at their organizations to share their stories, lessons, and insights with us below.

Mir Garvy

My team and I worked remotely well before the pandemic; in fact, we’ve only ever been a virtual company. When Covid hit in 2020, we were able to continue working without any disruption whatsoever. We had one slow month, and the government’s payroll protection program saw us through, and then work picked right back up and we were able to get back to what we’ve always done: help people with their resumes, LinkedIn profiles, and cover letters so they can be more successful job seekers.

Jen Rulon

I was remote when I started my business in 2013. I started realizing the importance of a triathlon coach for athletes worldwide. I was living in Texas and currently live in Costa Rica. It started with local athletes from the San Antonio area. Then I started getting people by word of mouth and being in different groups and teams in the triathlon space. Read more>>

Sheyla Paz

I have always worked remotely so it’s not something new for me. When I started my career as a TV host and producer, I was always filming on location and editing my videos from wherever I was. So, transitioning into a home-base travel agency was easy. I can travel and work from anywhere with my laptop. Read more>>

Sean Mullins

I invested into myself by upgrading my computer to become faster. I opened that bad boy up and upgraded the ram, graphics card, and installed a 1tb ssd drive to make my workflow as fast as possible. Read more>>

I’ve made remote work work for me by introducing my small business online. When I first came up with the idea of PersonaliTEA, I loved the thought of allowing others to personalize their tea flavors, because it was unheard of. I immediately pictured a storefront with lots of herbs available while people walk around, learning more about the herbs and filling their bags. As someone who didn’t have much knowledge about business and ownership, I went straight to a website creator who could bring my in-store vision to life over a screen. Now we operate via Wix. Customers from all over are now able to personalize their tea flavors remotely! Read more>>

Kailey Gonzales

Kailey’s K-pop was never just a location. It was a dream that was made possible through friends, family, and our very supportive community. As I look back to where our store was versus how it’s changed today, there isn’t much. Our name is very much alive in any events we may participate in. Staying at home and pushing our business on all social media platforms is the new norm in this century. We bring our merchandise wherever to whoever at any time. I feel that remote work allows us to branch out in new ways while focusing on different aspects of our lives as a team. Read more>>
