The Virtues of Going Virtual
July 25, 2007 by Phil Montero
Many people consider the pros and cons of moving to a completely virtual office setup but aren’t sure whether it is right for them. I recently came across a blog post from Don Loper who manages a web design firm. At the end of May he made the jump from a physical office to a full virtual office. Read more about his thoughts and experience in this post – The Virtues of Going Virtual.
He also posted some thoughts about the experience a few months later in his post The Virtual Office is Complete (love the photo Don!)
Now while many of you may be thinking it’s easy for him to go with a virtual office setup because he runs a web design firm, I think you will find most of the points he makes to be true of many businesses in varied industries.
I own a construction company and have also been using a
virtual office in Washington D.C. and I find very useful because since I’m out on jobs site throughout the day I am now able to offer my clients a professional atomsphere to conduct project closings, hold planning meetings and make sales presentations.
