On The Road Again: Business Meetings in Rural Locations

rural business meetingsFor those of us who live in rural locations, meeting up ‘half way’ with friends, customers, clients and suppliers between our various small towns is commonplace.

But figuring out where that half way point might be, and what places there are to easily meet up or have a lunch meeting, is usually a challenge unless you frequent particular roads and visit the same ole places often.

If this sounds like a challenge you face, take a look at a website called MeetWays. Meetways will not only calculate your halfway point, but will suggest any type of meeting place you might have in mind, whether it’s a coffee shop or a pizza place.

Similar in style to MapQuest, you must know both addresses or their zip codes and enter them into the site. But after that, the MeetWays site will map it for you. The whole process will take you a couple minutes.

And if you need to make arrangements while you’re on the road - there is a iPhone app available for the site.

Hello, Becky! It is such a simple, wonderful idea, isn’t it? So many of the best business ideas are inspired by the challenges we deal with every day - if we just look at them with problem-solving eyes.
