Administrative professionals are the superheroes of travel planning. Admins use their telepathy to know what brands their travelers prefer, time travel to get days of work done in mere hours, and teleportation to support their travelers, even when they are halfway around the world. Their only kryptonite? Themselves.

Rich in cultural attractions, it is both liberal bastion and commercial hub with tech-hot Silicon Valley reaching north and embracing the city with global headquarter giants like Twitter, Pinterest, and SalesForce. Its newest restaurant, Waxman’s , is by local celebrity chef Jonathan Waxman. You need to plan ahead!

Imagine, if we had assistants at home to pay the bills, do the budget, organize dinners, answer our calls and follow up with reminders -- it is starting to sound pretty good. That is a good time to recognize assistants for all that they do. I hope all of your professionals appreciate what a privilege it is to have someone look after them.

  Make sure the restaurant is within your budget! .  This not only allows everyone to feel like they are welcome in the conversation, but also ensures that you get a well-rounded set of perspectives in the conversation.   Find out your company’s policy before inviting clients to lunch.

Brilliantly Better

MARCH 10, 2010

Embark on an unexpected travel. Maybe the trip turned out to be a fiasco because the budget exploded and now you have to do the dishes in a restaurant to pay for your plane ticket home (or, most likely, you ignored some very common sense rule and it turned out that rule was for real). You take a risk. Start a business.

I post all pictures of his treks on our CanvasPet Twitter feed to hopefully inspire others to share their every adventure with their best friend pooch. It was certainly tough to travel that first mile and a half and we were all glad once we got past it. The remaining half a mile to the stream may as well have been 50 miles.

I was having a conversation with Deb Ng of Freelance Writing Gigs on Twitter , and I smirked at her comment. People even imply and suggest (or at least the Twitter gang did) that bloggers should be ashamed of asking for money, for any kind of payment for that solid advice and knowledge. They have a budget. We’re bloggers.
