Sometimes, taking a step back is the best thing you can do. And one of the things that we have come across while stepping back is the idea of simplicity.

When talking about simplicity, we thought about some of the services we offered. Then, we openly wondered, “Have we ever done this for anyone?” Some of these services as ones that have been offered by TOG Solutions since its inception in 2003.

Slow burns, to be sure. But is anyone really interested in them?

Well, it would appear not. So, as a result, we will spend a couple of weeks evaluating each of our services, both in an attempt to keep things simple for you, the customer, and a way to concentrate on the type of business we think will help us grow.

So, where did this all come from? From a few sources, actually. Since we’ve stepped up our activity on the blog, I have found that most of our current business comes from an area that we don’t mention at all: Transcription. Mind you, we have been able to establish a great deal of rapport with past and current customers, and we will keep doing so.

As for all of our other services, our review has been inspired by another source. Recently, we came across an excellent piece by Kirk Bannerman about the gradual growth of home-based businesses, which, of course, we proudly are. In the piece, Bannerman touches on diversification and its pitfalls.

This, again, is us all over.

So, with that, please excuse our dust for the next few weeks. We will be changing around some things, revising some services, dropping others. Some of our core services, resume writing, transcription and virtual assistance, will, of course remain. In the end, we will still be there to lend a helping hand when you need it.
