Work from home. Converted the 2nd master bedroom to a home office (two desks, couches, filing cabinets, etc. Pretty modern looking, looks completely different from the rest of the house). If I lived closer to the city I'd probably get an office but right now I just don't think I could get over the 20 step commute. I'm going to eventually hire some people but right now I live to far away from civilization for someone to commute to me. NYC, LA, or SF would be ideal but I'll probably have a hard time convincing my wife to move out there.
The biggest issue for me is separating work from being at home and not thinking about work. Right now I'm basically working all day, taking a few hours to eat dinner and study, and responding to clients emails until I fall asleep. I tried doing the 9am to 5pm cutoff but I'm on the east coast and half of my clients are on the west coast, so I usually try to be accessible as long as they are working.
I've never met with any clients face to face, it's all through email and phone which is probably a good thing since I only shave every two weeks.
