When virtual is vital

When we launched our company we did it because we wanted our business to be able to function anywhere. There is no good reason to be tied to a physical location to do most of what we can do from anywhere on the globe.

Well in the last two weeks the concept became reality as we had to take our show on the road. My wife's parents were aging and we planned for the day we may have to step in in some capacity. My father-in-law is a 93-year-old WII veteran. My mother-in-law is 92 and has some sort of dementia or Alzheimer's. Well, last week my father-in-law fell in the garage and we had to immediately leave Texas and head to Kansas City for an extended stay for an indefinite amount of time to be caregivers. Our business didn't miss a beat. Packing was the most difficult when you don't know how long to plan on staying. Nevertheless, we took our virtual business with us. Armed with laptops, cell phones, and tablets we went right on with business as usual. They are finally convinced the need to move into assisted living (which was no small sales effort on our part. I even convinced him to cease from driving and relinquish the car). We didn't even need high-speed internet because they had it and didn't use it in the last five years. Somehow the cable company won't remove it from his package. I think they took advantage and I will expose that all over social media. Taking advantage of the elderly is beyond disgusting.
