My Offices

Ask anyone who knows me and they will tell you that my offices are every coffee shop and a few local pubs in the Triad area of NC. Here is a map of many of them.

Here are 10 reasons I like to use local coffee shops as my office:

1. Good coffee – Always freshly brewed
2. Ice cold “soda” – one or two a week is not a bad thing
3. Friendly and good people serving me
4. Free refills – With the Starbucks Gold Card, I get free refills while I am in the office
5. Good food in the pubs – a man has to eat, right?
6. Free WIFI – Maybe it’s not perfect, but generally it works and it’s free.
7. I am visible – often I get to say hello to customers, prospects and new connections who come to see me.
8. When I get a chance to say hello, often I am asked what I’m up to. I get to spin this too, “How can I help you?”
9. They are a more enjoyable place to have business meetings. It’s way more friendly
10. My laptop has an ad on it – It gets seen by dozens of people every day
11. Fresh pastries every morning
12. I’ve done the math – $2 per day for a cup of coffee = max of $60 per month. No less expensive rent anywhere.

I know these offices may not be the best for everyone, but they sure do work well for me.
