"We have ceded control of our daily lives. Amid incessant distraction, our discipline in pursuing high ambitions has vanished. The white space of a free day seems unfathomable because we have become hypnotized by a false but compelling need to respond to all the needs of others. We are pulled at from every angle, torn from meaningful efforts by frivolous pursuits or false emergencies, and we are often unsure how to balance our lives with the needs of those we love. We are too often detached from what is most worth fighting for; our busywork consumes our day but it is not our life’s work. Most do not feel a stark, stirring life purpose—they don’t hunger for it in the morning or orient their day to its pursuit. A life of greater joy, power, and satisfaction awaits those who consciously design their life. For this, we now declare: WE SHALL RECLAIM OUR AGENDA.

My favourite declaration from Brendon Burchards' The Motivation Manifesto

Most small and mid-market businesses struggle with getting the most out of their services from Microsoft.

Many of the Managed Service partners just simply don't have the time and expertise available to truly help every managed client get the greatest return on their investment in software tools such as Microsoft Office. So they work with a local consultant who can spend the time to understand the long and short-term needs of a business.

We've worked with many businesses to analyze their processes and pain points and identified a pattern. All of these businesses were losing countless hours and revenue with inefficient software applications.

Not realizing that their current Office 365 subscription had these features available and could also connect together with other 3rd-Party applications.

Diving deep into the world of tech doesn't mean we lose touch with humanity. At , every innovation, every strategy, every solution is designed with people in mind. Join our journey where technology meets compassion.

Buchanan Technology Consultants is Highly Recommended by locals! We greatly appreciate your support and referrals. It drives our business, and we couldn't do what we do without you!
