How Often Do You Go Into Your Office?

In these days of super technology, and communciation the small business owner is expected to be online, on, and in touch 100% of the time. Whether you are on the jobsite, with a client, or just hanging out at home, you are expected to be productive to keep the ball rolling in small business.

In many small business there are some must haves to keep the business going. Here is a list of my top 5.

1. Smartphone - ideally this phone will have email, text and telephone communication. it would be even better if it could access the internet. That way you can access all your customers, or team right away in the click of a button.

2. Laptop - something small, light and easy to fire up quickly, so that you can access all of your files, the internet, database, or a customers invoice right away.

3. Mobile Broadband, Internet Speed stick, Internet tethering - a laptop will become the eighth wonder of the world if you can access the internet.

4. Head set or Blue tooth - in the old days people would talk on the phone while driving, or just not answer. Personally I can get alot done in a 20 minute drive, but a head set is a must and is now legislation.

5. A quiet space - a large amount of productivity can be accomplished in a short period of time if you have a quiet space. Whether it be a coffee shop, your car, a park bench, or your bathroom, you can use those extra 5 minutes to get alot done, which will allow you to be able to sit down and enjoy all of the hockey game!
