Today I learned the many benefits there are in working remotely that go beyond the freedoms of being able to control your work environment and schedule. It was really emphasized that working remotely is actually a great way to monetize your passion, and that by working remotely to monetize your passion, you can even try traveling around the world. I also learned that working remotely is an efficient way of managing a company, because working remotely or as Matt Mullenweg puts it, having a distributed workforce can allow you to "tap into global talent." It also provides opportunities for people in countries who don't have easy access to opportunities.
