When Google called us...I thought it was a joke.  They called from San Francisco and said something like, "We've been following Tiger Lily, and the way you use Google business apps, and would like to shoot a video of your story."  I responded with "Listen, we're really busy, so if this is scam or advertising pitch, your'e wasting your time". 

Well, it was legit, and Google sent a production team of 11 people down from Boston for 4 days.  Cameras, lighting, boom mics, even make-up! We told our Google Business Apps story, and it was then that I realized how much Google Business Apps is part of our daily operation.  Everything from emails to schedules to daily reports are all driven by Google Business Apps, often times remotely!  Most importantly, we SHARE that info in real time with our key staff members.  Now all of our goals are top of mind for the entire staff, as well as the results.  And the results have been amazing.  By following sound business principles, we're having a great year.  But it's Google Business Apps that makes following those principles so much easier! 

People often say "It must be a blast working with flowers all day."  Clara and I do feel we have a great profession, but the flowers are just part of it.  It's where the "art" of flower design meets the "business" of  ownership that makes it a blast.  Like we often say, "I'ts never been easy but its mostly been fun."  Being part of Google's Business Apps story has certainly been a blast!
