"The virtual paradigm shift has already happened and the "Good, Fast, Cheap" cliche has changed. A decade ago you had to pick any two of those three options - today you can get all three using my virtual model."
Four key elements to look for when creating a virtual business:
- A short path to the money (limited ramp-up or development time)
- No upfront capital
- Customer deposits in advance of delivery
- Contractor based assistance for delivery
"Your Virtual Success: Finding Profitability in an Online World", was written to help readers understand how they can create a virtual business, reduce costs in their existing business, or sell and market more efficiently using virtual tools.
My average virtual day begins around 7:30am as I pour myself a cup of home brewed Starbucks coffee in my kitchen, and then navigate back upstairs to my office. It is a great commute, twenty feet down the hall and a left hand turn into a spare bedroom. My business suit is usually comprised of black sweat pants and my favorite blue t-shirt. While others suffer the trials and tribulations of their daily commute, I'm already at my desk relaxed, comfortable and productive, my stress quotient near zero.
My virtual office has everything I need: a desk, a chair, a laptop PC, printer/scanner, internet access, and a phone. With the tools and technology available today over the internet, it is easy to create a profitable virtual company that looks like a professional multimillion-dollar operation.
