Folger’s Coffee and Nickolay
I often marvel at today’s technology. This morning is no different.
I’m sitting at my breakfast bar, drinking my usual coffee, Folgers with a heavy dose of French vanilla cream. Next to me sits my long time friend and business partner, Nickolay from Kyiv, Ukraine.
Nickolay owns KievApartment.com, a travel office I helped him start about 10 years ago in Kyiv.
He’s enjoying my Folgers, but just black. We’re both online with our laptops. I’ve been checking email and looking at some sales figures from yesterday’s online activity. Nickolay’s had several conversations via Skype with clients and business associates in Ukraine.
There’s an 8 hour time difference between Northeast Oklahoma and Ukraine, so it’s late afternoon there. But because of the technology of today and a fast internet connection, there is no distance, really.
Because of this, the world is much smaller and your business network is potentially much larger than ever before.
I just think that is really cool.
