This new company has about five departments, each of which is located in different parts of the building. The funny thing about this company is when someone calls and wants to talk to an employee. It is well and good when that person is just near the admin office where the line is located. But when he is in the fifth room, for instance, the person who picks up the phone gets to have a little exercise by personally telling the employee somebody is looking for him on the phone. The guard could do it sometimes, or even one of the admin assistants. … (more)

Most of my businesses correlate with my other businesses, like my frozen food storage facility is being stocked by my own farm and both sites are being advertised by my main office.

I thought starting a business venture only requires the capital and a good business plan. There was something lacking in my plan though. I did not take into account the need for a telephone system that would enhance the image of my business. I thought that maybe the usual kind would be enough without realizing that the world has become flat due to technology.
