Implementation

Posted on07. Dec, 2010 by Douglas Richardson.

The dictionary defines: carry out, accomplish; especially : to give practical effect to and ensure of actual fulfillment by concrete measure.   Boy now is that an interesting choice of words!

I have been thinking about this word for several days now?  Man the whole world could use a little Implementation right now!  I know that is very true for the United States.  “Carry out & Accomplish” now there is something that the politicians could try for a change?

Implementation, carry out, accomplish!  Now this is something we as Internet Marketers need very much to do.  I know for myself I have a tendency to spend my time preparing to implement and then preparing to implement and then preparing to implement, and never actually taking action on the implementation.  Sound familiar?  In the world of the internet there so many places to spend our time and not implement anything!

Time Management!

Posted on11. Nov, 2010 by Douglas Richardson.

What Exactly Is Time Management?

Time management is a set of principles, practices, skills, tools, and systems working together to help you get more value out of your time with the aim of improving the quality of your life.

The important point is that time management is not necessarily about getting lots of stuff done, because much more important than that is making sure that you are working on the right things, the things that truly need to be done.

Time Management can be a very tricky thing when working from home.  Create a place somewhere, where there are the least amount of outside distractions for you, i.e.; TV; kids; wife, girlfriend etc.  You need to be focused on your work.  And that is yet another topic, you need to be in the mindset that this is work; this is a business that you are trying to grow (more on this in a later post).  Once you have found your location, make sure that you have all the tools that you need to run your business near by, so that you are not spending your time looking for things.

Business 101 Part II

Let’s take a look at what needs to be done when evaluating your internet business model.

First of all you need a plan of action.  Now I know as I have stated earlier most of us get started without a thought towards business, we are just using Social Media as a way  to communicate with our friends and family, and finding old friends from High School and College and learning what has happened in there lives.

Business 101

Posted on21. Sep, 2010 by Douglas Richardson.

I have owned several of my own businesses, through my life.  And I think that because of this I can speak to the topic that I am about to address.  One of the things about owning a brick and mortar business is that you can tangibly see the location where you conduct business.  You can go there and feel that you are in your location and ready to conduct business activities.  You have the mindset that, I am at my office and I am here to do the things that need to be done in order to pay for the location that I am working from.  To pay the light bill, and rent or mortgage to keep the doors open.  This is one of the driving forces that keep’s us business owners moving forward.   I am sure you can see where I am going with this?

I think you do!  If you have a blog, you know more than you realize!

Blogging?

• You had to create and purchase a domain name.
• You had to open up a wordpress account and choose between which theme you wanted to use.  Or you found someone or service to create your blog.
• You have learned the difference between a plug-in and a widget and what the purpose is for both. [...]

“The Tribal Mindset”

Posted on07. Jul, 2010 by Douglas Richardson.

Tribe Syndication seems to be everywhere in the Social Media arena?  It is just the logical progression of leverage of ones self.

If you look at the recent growth in Social Media the Tribe Syndication concept is at the foundation.  Everywhere you look people are talking about creating Tribes or Mastermind groups, one can only accomplish so much on their own?  [...]

Resilience and Social Media

Posted on23. Jun, 2010 by Douglas Richardson.

Resilient: an ability to recover from or adjust easily to misfortune or change.  Now those are words to live by!  I have been reflecting on my Social Media and Tribe Syndication career for the last several days, sometimes it seems like I am going NO Where!  I am taking action; I am Syndicating my Tribe members content; I am adding to my Tweeter followers; I am making new friends and relationships on FaceBook, and I am trying to recruit in to my primary business.  I am spending several hours a week learning from the people that are successful in this industry.   But as I look at my current position I am not seeing much positive results?  No one can relate to that I bet?

LOVE, LANGUAGE & LEADERSHIP

I attended a very special horse training event this weekend put on by Pat & Linda Parelli.  Now you are properly thinking why do I want to know about horse training anyway?  Well just hang with me for a bit and I will explain.  I was invited by an old friend from Portland to attend this event at our local Epxo Center. I didn’t even know that he had interest in horses; I knew that his wife had a horse, but that was about it?  Well they came over Friday night and sent the night and we had a great time catching up, it had been a couple of years since our last meeting.

We were up early and off we went to the Expo Center!  When we arrived I was surprised at how many cars were in the parking lot.  Well once we got inside there were people milling around everywhere, from what I understand there were over two thousand people there! [...]
