This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Mavenlink. All opinions are 100% mine.

Having quite a bit of business experience on a personal level, I know exactly what it means to master efficiency and time management. We have an amazing amount of technology right at our fingertips to make our lives more manageable, and bring our levels of success to a whole new level. Although I have changed my business style, and stick to a simple method of choosing affiliates to take care of most of the business details for me, not everyone will have my own level of experience to handle all the little details and truly succeed.

I can see the tremendous value of utilizing a company whose main focus is exclusively on improving the interactions between businesses and their consultants. Mavenlink is the first company to do just this, and they have not disappointed me with their level of insight and professionalism. I am really quite impressed how they have managed to create an intuitive technological platform which embraces the consulting lifecycle, while managing all business relationships and transactions so that your projects have a greater opportunity for success.

For Businesses

From a business aspect, you can invite Colleagues to your Workspace, and the ability to invite other colleagues to a workspace gives you the option to create the following actions.

~ Collaborate with other team members to get buy in or feedback.
~ Provide immediate visibility to management, peers or direct reports as to progress or updates on a particular project.
~ Get help completing your obligations, if any, related to the project deliverables.

You will be notified of all key communications that occur within the Mavenlink system via email, so you don’t have to worry about missing something that happened on a project or live in front of your browser.

As we advance into the age of technology it is important to upgrade our business strategies. We can save a lot of money and time in the long run by investing our valuable resources in modern techniques to enhance our virtual presence. Imagine how much time we can save if we are able to enter virtual office spaces to conduct business, hold conferences, share files, offer presentations, and do all of this face to virtual face with webcam technology giving us that personal edge? This is truly how business should be done, if we hold business interests and offices in different places around the country, or around the globe.

I can see the many virtues as offered by companies such as Meetsee Virtual Office. The future is now, and what a dynamic and time-saving way to create a virtually professional atmoshpere! It is exciting to imagine a world where we do not have to rush around wasting time and energy to make meetings. Productivity would be vastly improved! And business can be conducted from virtually anywhere one can connect. One can still chat and socialize so co-workers can get to know each other, even if vast distances separate them.

What can one do with Meetsee?

Meetsee is your own personal virtual office filled with rich ways to communicate, share content, collaborate on documents, and build rapport with co-workers. With Meetsee you can:

~ Create and personalize your own virtual office, avatar, and profile.
~ View rich presence so you know when to connect with co-workers.
~ Share files, presentations, and even webcam in a virtual meeting room.
~ Integrate with your existing tools and services

Final thoughts…

Truly, such virtual spaces are going to become more popular as the need to pick up the pace in business increases. With the demand to stay on top of advancing technologies and modern business techniques, we will need the mediums to keep up with the highly competitive business world. I feel this is a fascinating aspect of the realities in this Virtual World we live in.

One of the most fascinating and exciting aspects about the 21st century is the speed of our online and mobile experiences. We just seem to move so much faster and our activities have reached a level of hyper speed that simply blows my mind. I really want information for my blogs, my family, and my over active curiosity and imagination right NOW! I do not like to wait, and when I am on a mission to find something out or to connect with the world, I demand the best to get me what I want. Since I am always on the move and never seem to stay in one place for too long, I really need that which will satisfy my needs with a reliablility I can count on. Active and super fast communication is what I am talking about here. The world moves at a much faster pace these days, and when there is news or information that needs to be known or shared we need to rely on the BEST.

Well then, in comes Clear. Clear offers great choices for super fast mobile internet whether you are an occasional, frequent, or unlimited user of mobile, home or business internet at an affordable price. For now they have the Portland, Oregon area covered, but who knows what the future holds. Since I live in Portland, this is something I would love to get my hot little hands on… errrr… or at least take advantage of to jazz up my mobile speed!

The Clear Network is powered by WiMAX, which is specifically designed for highspeed Internet data usage. Which in less techy type individual talk means it is really, really fast! Unlike WiFi, it reaches miles not feet, so you can go anywhere and do anything at speeds as fast as at home or the office. This is exciting to me, as a person on the go. My choice is simple, and as they have industry leading partners like Intel, Motorola, Google, Samsung, and Nokia backing them up, they have the means to provide leading edge devices, and new applications that’ll bring the internet and mobile user an overall Internet experience that’s second to none.

In Clears own words…

No cords, no hotspots, no slow cell phone connection. Stream movies while you wait at the DMV, blog from the stands of your kid’s soccer game, download music at the bus stop, snap photos of your dogs and upload pictures of them while they play in the park – all with a super fast mobile Internet connection from Clear.

They won’t be tied down, and as they grow they will be active soon in…

* Las Vegas, NV
* Grand Rapids, MI
* Atlanta, GA

You can just bet they won’t stop there either. I can imagine they will be so popular that their growth will be as lightning fast as their mobile speed! The WiMax network, a step beyond 3G, provides unmatched network capacity to deliver next generation Internet access and applications. Soon there will be Clear choices for everyone looking to power up their mobile activities in tune with the times.

I am a bit suprised it took me so long to discover Twitter. I have been a ‘tweeter’ for a couple of months now, and I am totally hooked. Not only am I able to connect with friends to hear the latest chatter going on in their world, I am virtually in touch with people from all over the world. We get the news as it is happening, not when it airs on TV or elsewhere. This is exciting to me! Some days I have to tune down the chitter chatter, as it is simply too much, yet most days it feels good to know what is going on. What an amazing concept!
