”A man who has no office to go to, I don’t care who he is, is a trial of which you can have no conception” – George Bernard Shaw

Finally! Telematter has an office! Besides my apartment I mean *grin*. “Liberty Square” – that’s the new home of Telematter, Inc.

Or to be exact:

3200 Penn Terrace Suite 108
Columbia, MO 65202

Since my last post, Telematter has leased an office and hired two very talented developers. I’ll let them introduce themselves (they both start next week) but needless to say, I am super excited to see this company developing.

In other news, I wanted to mention two great books I’m reading. One is called Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap… and Others Don’t and the other is The Breakthrough Company: How Everyday Companies Become Extraordinary Performers. Good to Great came recommended to me by one of my favorite friends. The book is chock full of great information on what makes a stellar company. Jim Collins led a research team to pour over empirical market data to identify companies that outperformed their market sector by a wide margin, and then conducts interviews with the executives to find out what makes a winning company tick. The Breakthrough Company seems to have been largely inspired by Good to Great. The key difference being that it is tailored to small companies. Where Good to Great focuses on companies which are already pulling revenues of hundreds of millions or billions of dollars, The Breakthrough Company is aimed at the little guys like us. Great reading for any entrepreneur, in the tech field or otherwise. Check them out!
