What’s in an office anyways? Create a Mobile Office the simple way by just learning what you need on the road and collecting it all in a convenient travel sized pack. In my case, it’s a briefcase, a phone, and a laptop. My briefcase, opened, is a convenient mobile office with all the necessary parts. A tiny little box of office ‘supplies’, file folders in the lid, pens, pencils, note stickies, and a compact stapler will organize most anything I need to keep. The notepad-portfolio I carry for business meetings fits inside when necessary, and I always keep an extra notepad in the lid.
Don’t forget the address book. Add new people in, and keep up with all your old friends and associates. You never know when you might be able to grab a cup of coffee and network. My motto is “The only way to get out of my little black book is die – or move up to everyday contact.”
