1. Location, Location, Location, does not matter. Mayor Bloomberg's staff seem to agree:
“Whether he’s leading an international environmental conference in São Paulo as he did two weeks ago,” Mr. Loeser said, “or overseeing the Police Department’s response to the London subway attacks from his plane like he did coming back from a meeting about the Olympics in 2005, in this day and age, the person New Yorkers elected mayor can always act as mayor — wherever he or she is."
- The key point is if you can be a mayor of 8 million people from anywhere you do not need to be there.
2.Facebook, LinkedIn, AIM and Skype
3.Amazon, Google and online storefronts. provide access to all the niche products and services that 20 years ago one could only find in a large city like NYC.
4. For all the hype over TSA, Travel has never been easier. I have traveled to NYC for a meeting and traveled home the same day.
5. Corporate Telecommuting. The skills you provide is more important to companies that where you provide them from.
