My guest today, on the Steve Jobs inspired Join Up Dots free podcast interview is the founder of the Alliance Business Centers Network, which provides premium virtual office and telecommunications solutions for companies all over the world. With over 650 Office Business Centers operating in 42 countries, his is the authority on the subject of virtual offices and remote work. So if you want to start moving around the world, remote, independent from your team, but don't fancy trying to find dodgy wifi in some bar in Timbuktu then today's episode is for you. But that is just one part the equation that our guest has brought to the world. How does the standalone entrepreneur gain instant recognition, and authority when they are in a small bedroom doing everything themselves? Well they work with our guest today, to gain a high impact business address..in say New York, London or Paris, mail forwarding, a receptionist taking calls on their behalf and all for a small monthly cost. He can teach us tons of great information for startups and entrepreneurs about flexible and remote work, along with his unique global management perspective developed during his 25 years within the Office Business Center industry. So when did he come up with the idea to create a global network such as this, and what were the first steps he took to achieve his aim? And what took him longer to achieve, finding the locations or selling the idea to customers across the globe? Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots with the one and only Mr. Virtual himself, Frank Cottle Show Highlights During the show we discussed such weighty topics with Frank Cottle such as: We discuss how to get balance in ones life by finding the work that inspires, delights and never feel hard. Frank shares the importance of having a global mindset if you want to true success in your life. The huge benefits of having virtual office space ready and waiting for clients to organisations everywhere, but the difficulties of getting them to know about it. and lastly…. He highlights the simple logic, that no matter how bad economics are across the world, someone has the money. Just go where the cash has gone.
