Go Paperless
Save time, money and the environment
If you’re endeavoring to create a “paperless office environment” then this article is for you.
Envisage makes it easy to share your graphs, without having to print.
This is especially useful for those with staff who work remotely, or for managers and owners who travel.
During our weekly meeting at exec.io we have people spread around the global, in Perth, Western Australia; Sydney on the east coast of Australia; and yours truly in Florida, USA.

The opposite of a KISS is a KICK - Keeping It Complicated Knowingly. I much prefer a KISS to a KICK.💋

Over the years I have found many small businesses trying to keep too many statistics and spending hours every week trying to keep them all up to date. One person I knew had more than 30 statistics for his one man show. It took him at least 5 minutes per week to measure and lodge each of those statistics.

We chose black and red for many reasons, one of which is that red/green colour blind people can see the difference between black and red.
