This happens to be one of my favorite weeks all year – and not just because I was once an assistant myself before I founded my company back in 1990.

I will work at a company for 4 years and have emails archived from my very first year that I’ve had to look back at for handy information three years later.

I used to work as a bank teller and had the radio in the background as well, but from my past 9 years of experience working in offices (and I went through quite a few different companies and locations) is that "most" offices are quiet, for the most part. Our workplace actually has a policy of not allowing them any longer.

The books you read, the tapes you listen to, and the seminars you attend are almost invariably the result of a suggestion from someone you respect.

One on one consulting, seminars, meet ups are difficult to copy and expensive to hold. You can’t outsource your US seminar to the Philippines, yet.

It was free because it was idle; it wasn’t supposed to be the sort of business expertise that many companies would shell out good money for in the form of a consultant.
