Equally important for me, I found that leaving headquarters got me away from the mundane, daily grind that left no space for insight, inspiration, or innovation.

Kinko’s Founder Paul Orfalea in Copy That!, Fortune Small Business, September 2005

From Orfalea’s bio at the Library of Congress:

Orfalea’s success is especially impressive, in that he suffers from attention deficit disorder and dyslexia, and had struggled through school, failing two grades. In “Copy This!” Orfalea details how he used these potential disabilities to develop unorthodox approaches and create a culture at Kinko’s that made the company, according to Fortune, Forbes and Working Mother magazines, one of the best places to work in America.
