Today we’d like to introduce you to Ted Liman, BSEE MBA.
Ted, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
I worked for oil-gas companies to build processing plants ranging from $5 million to $1 billion facilities. All of them were successful under my management, so I thought it might be time to venture on my own.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
It has been a smooth road on what I could do. It was smooth in operations and execution, but I was a hardcore professional in the management of engineering, procurement and construction (EPC). Sales was not a requirement in my previous jobs, so that was a bumpy road for us and probably still is a learning curve for the entire organization.
OFFICE IN AMERICA – what should we know? What do you guys do best? What sets you apart from the competition?
Office In America Co. is a virtual office company that specializes in providing a business identity for all types of entrepreneurs.
We offer business place, corporate address, mail handling, live receptionist, executive suites, meeting rooms, dedicated phone lines, assigned fax numbers, teleconference technology and many more.
We specialize in being a place where business owners can proudly call their office. Where they can receive mails, phone calls and meet with their clients in reputable place. It is a full-service facility.
I am most proud of all agents and employees working for Office In America Co. because we have a serving attitude. We are not here for us, We are here to serve others. Whatever our customers need, as long as we can do it, we will.
Real small business owners are really the forgotten heroes. They have to wear many hats to run a business. They have to work more than forty hours a week. They have to do everything: find the job, do the job and deliver the job. They have to do everything to make ends meet to live and many times for their families. What we want to do is to make it easy on these unsung heroes. First, we make our service extremely affordable. Our slogan is ” lowest price guaranteed or we’ll beat by 10% “. Secondly, we want to boost the growth of entrepreneurs by hosting business networking event and seminar open to the public for free; no string attached, no sales pitch, only to network and learn business acumen. We hold at least 20 of these events per month.
What is “success” or “successful” for you?
Success is when you achieve your goal without sacrificing other obligations.
Many people see success as being a millionaire, being on TV or being very famous. I used to see it that way, but history has shown that those type of success involves the need to sacrifice either health, marriage, parental title, integrity, honesty, moral and so forth.
I believe success is not measured in a dollar sign or fame level, but more in who we are. What kind of obituary will people write on our funeral? Was I a good person? Was I helpful? Was I understanding? Was I kind? Everything else is smoke and mirrors.
