There's a reason I like to run my events, and my Get Lucyd days, by the seaside (or in nice London addresses) - it's because location is important to me. I want my clients to have a great experience and to have the environment, journey and location be a part of that.
Where I 'work' has a big impact for me on how I 'do' my Thing. And I also want to make a mark, an impact for my clients in their calendar - to mark a day of change, and new moves. A great location adds to this hugely for me.
I certainly remember where I was and what I was doing on important occasions. And it's also sometimes for the wrong reasons that I remember some locations (usually when they are less than inspiring!).
So where are you doing your work?
Do you think about where you are?
Knowing where you do your best work is really important. If you are someone that likes to be around people but work from home, go hang out in coffee shops or a nice hotel lounge or find a great 'busy' place you like that inspires you. If it's nature that raises your game or inspiration then go for walks, sit in the park, hug a tree :) and do your work there.
It might sound crazy but really, if you want to work in the mountains, or floating in a boat, then go do it!
A big part of you doing your Thing in the way you can make the most of it is doing it your way, which includes the where along with the how.
It's your business and you decide where you work.
So where are you taking your Thing today?

Great post. Just what I needed on such a rainy, grey day. As a writer, a lot of the ‘location’ issue is in my head as in getting my head into the right place to write. What inspires me in a location is sunshine and nature which is in short supply today. I write in the mornings after the school run and how I get my nature fix is by taking in all the beautiful gardens on the walk home then opening the curtains to my office so I can see the garden outside.
I love this post and it’s just what I do. It’s a case of have lap top, mobile phone etc. will travel. I love to be in nature and I have some fabulous places close by that I work from, sometimes I can be outside or sometimes I can be looking out at the nature. I also take myself off to the seaside too as it also inspires. And I also have favourite coffee shops. Explore and experiment and find what and where inspires you.
