And what a ride it's been! I though in this episode, I'dtrysomething a little different as there has been a lot oflistenerscommenting in the show notes, asking for some practicaltips ontools they can implement. For many years now, we have beennot onlyusing Google Apps for Work, but also setting companies upwith it.I move around a lot, so I love the flexibility of beingable toaccess any business related documentation, from any deviceI'musing, from wherever I am in the world. For example, right nowas Itype this email, I'm sitting in Winnipeg Canada, referring toaseries of work documents that I have saved in Google's cloud.Everytime I create a new podcast episode, I have a folder set upin'Google Drive' that has all of the information and recordingsIneed to for my podcasts. It doesn't matter where I am, I canaccessthat information from my phone, computer, or tablet as longas Ihave internet connection. If you're someone that likestokeep all of your work documents saved in your officefilingcabinet, in this episode I'm presenting you with aparadigmthat will change your life and turn your business into ascalable,secure asset. Google Apps will remove thesescenarios fromyour vocabulary, completely.

  1. "Yeah, I have that file on my computer. I'll email it toyouwhen I get into the office."
  2. "I don't have that invoice handy, however I can get theofficeto send it across."
  3. "Why are there three versions of this spreadsheetfloatingabout?"
