A mobile company. This is a picture of me in my office. In fact, I run Effortless English Incorporated, the whole company, from a mobile office. Effortless English is not a normal

company. We are filled with nomadic people who love to travel. Because of this

and because I'm the most enthusiastic traveler of all,

I decided to structure our company as a nomadic unit. In other words, Effortless English does not have an office building.

Each of us, to Moay, Chris, Kristen, and I, works from a laptop computer, a professional microphone, and an internet connection.

These tools allow us to work almost anywhere in the world.

Now I'm in San Francisco and next week my office will be in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

Tomoe is currently in Osaka Japan but continues to work on her Japanese language blog and continues to work on her Japanese language blog and continues to

translate our emails and web pages into Japanese.

Tomorrow I fly to North Carolina in the southeast part of the United States to visit

Chris. We will be working together on a new album of lessons.

Being a mobile company has many advantages.

Instead of being stuck in a boring office,

we are constantly visiting new places and meeting new people.

I believe this makes us more interesting as individuals and as a company.

Another advantage to having a mobile company is that it makes us sensitive to you, our members.

When we travel, we are often forced to use other languages.

For example, in November, I had to use Spanish every day.
