Today in business it doesn't matter where you are...



From the quiet confines of c6 and with the assistance from my AccessGLT people in SF,CA I submitted a bid to Xerox today worth $19,581,090. The bid is for ocean freight from China, Japan and Korea to their various U.S. facilities.
I have seen any numbers yet but this may be the largest bid today in the U.S. from a bedroom.

You know when you do something without thinking and it effects someone else negatively, and that person isn’t mad as much as they’re disappointed in the action. It’s much easier to deal with some getting mad. You can get over being mad. Disappointment is tough, there isn’t a do-over. You can back up but that has limited success. Even in the short term, saying you’re sorry doesn’t cut it. Thinking is hard and you have to do it all the time. Not thinking though can have many unforeseen consequences. Word of the day is, think.
