Setting Up Your Office


Look at the picture above; what do you see?  A laptop computer, a globe, an appointment book, a daily to do list, a clipboard and a set of keys.  What is missing in that picture?

Let's think about your business, and depending on what your business is, depends on the equipment and tools you'll need to start and manage your business.  

A computer is always a must in todays techie world.  You cannot run a business without a computer there is no doubt about it.  You may have a candle making business and you need a software program to keep inventory, customer names, addresses, etc, so you definitely must have a computer.

A printer is missing from the picture.  You'll need a printer, perhaps a fax machine,  and a scanner.  A three-in-one would be great; it is easier to manage your home business when you have these tools available at your beck and call.

You'll also need a telephone to help run your business.  Your home phone will do just fine unless you want to add a business line to your existing telephone service.  

Reams of paper and file folders are also missing from the picture; these are small items that cost little to nothing.  You'll need reams of paper for printing and file folders for maintaining inventory and other things along those lines.  

Well, I think you're ready to open the doors to your business now.  We add other items and materials as your business begins to take shape and grow!

Happy working!!!
