Apps that can do it all? Personal Assistants by Smartphone

Just found this great article in the NY Times and had to share. Did you know you can summon a horde of people to assist your life, just by using an app (and being willing to pay)? Imagine how this could change your life. Is it something you can take advantage of willingly or will you too experience "Apper's Guilt"?

Personally, I think it's fantastic that these services are out there. After all, that is what At Your Service Office is all about- partnering people and businesses in need of assistance with the right tools and personnel to make it happen- without any long term commitment needed. These willing assistants are true entrepreneurs!

Great way to live- a quote

I was clearing out my "to read" folder at the office today and came across an excerpt from a book sold by www.walkthetalk.com (great motivational resource by the way). The item that stuck out for me was the following quote by Thomas Huxley and I wanted to share it with you. Hope it resonates with you the way it did with me.

"Do what you should do, when you should do it, whether you feel like it or not."
