Website Design & Support Solutions

Archive for the ‘My Musings’ Category

Hi everyone,

Sorry for the delay in keeping up with my rantings, but just recently I came upon a video on Google that really shocked me, you can watch the movie below or click on the previous link. Please note that the movie is a little over 2 hours long, and must be viewed with an open mind.

Now your proably wondering why this movie would have anything to do with website design or even branding which is mainly what I try and focus on on this blog.

When it comes to Personal Branding, it’s about being transparent, it’s about being the real you.

But do we really know who we are? What shapes and molds us into who we are?

From the moment we are born, we are bombarded with signals that shape the course of our lives. As we get older we have the opportunity to make a choice as the direction that these signals point us too.

Our parents try and mold us, the media tries to persuade us, and the state of our economy in many cases tries to dictate what we can or can not do.

Please, don’t let this happen to you, step outside the box and be or become what ever your inner heart desires.

When we do this, we are able to see a whole new world and a new perspective on life, and take the bull by the horns and create a new life for ourselves that will create an impact on others.

I’d love to hear what you think about the movie, also, please watch this movie with your partner, but put your children in another room, some parts of the movie are vulgar and graphic, and not for the squeamish.

My this be an eye opener.
Have a wonderful day.

Hey Guy’s and Gal’s,

Wanted to get you out a quick heads up that could be worth a big pile of cash for you in just a few weeks from now.

I just found out about the June 15th product launch of Epic Traffic Systems, by Keith Baxter, Jon Shugart, and Joey Smith, and wanted you to see the insane stuff that these guys are doing for their JV partners.

The buzz about this launch is already everywhere, and from what I’m hearing, most think it will go down as the biggest product launch in internet marketing history.

And based on what I just saw on the JV Invite Page, I don’t doubt it!

The product itself is going to be epic, but so are the commissions and affiliate prizes!

They are paying out $1,000 on every sale.

AND…

They are also paying out $200 for every Tier 2 sale…just for referring other affiliates!

This is why you need to check this out asap, and jump on board.

One simple email to any prospective affiliate that you know could result in some serious bank for you come launch day.

It’s still early and there’s a massive opportunity to position a ton of tier 2 affiliates underneath you. Just one “big fish” could mean EPIC commissions for you!

Then there’s the prizes at stake…no one has ever done anything like this.

In addition to individual prizes that include everything from electronics to motorcycles, to cars….

They are renting a private island…Sir Richard Branson’s Necker Island, for an all expense paid, 5nt, tropical networking party for the Top 10 affiliates!! Now that really is EPIC!

Every big player on the planet is jumping on this one …and already out recruiting Tier 2 affiliates.

Get all the details on the product, the participants, payouts and prizes….and position yourself fast for the Tier 2 by getting other affiliates that you know on board…

…by signing up at the JV Invite page here:

This is truly going to be an epic event!

You can thank me later!

Talk soon,

Timothy
May the Lord bless your day

Hey Guy’s & Gal’s,

Have you ever wondered why your not making any sales, or your volume of sales were lower than you expected?

Then you get down in the dumps, because you can’t understand why people aren’t flocking to your business in droves? You have a product or service that your target market wants, the price is right, but still their not buying?

You rank high in the search engines, you have an excellent sales letter, your website design and layout are the cat’s meow, but still nothing works?

You’ve tried every method possible?
You’ve tried Social Networking, with Facebook, with Twitter, with Myspace and even Linkedin.
You’ve tried PLR (Private Label Rights)
You’ve tried MLM (Multilevel Marketing)
You’ve tried Article Marketing
You’ve tried Blogging
You’ve tried Magazine Ads.
You’ve tried Classifieds and still nothing seems to work.

Ok, now your probably wondering where I’m going with all of this, well to be honest, everyone, and I mean everyone is searching for the “Golden Key” that will transform their business and their personal lives. But, believe it or not, it’s all about being validated for all your hard work and efforts.

That’s right, validation.

I recently came across Katie’s website at http://www.prosperitychallenge.com/ and it really struck a cord with me. It’s not a well crafted design, a matter of fact is the default theme that comes with wordpress, but it’s impact is right on target

When is the last time you needed to be validated? Check out the short movie below and tell me what you think….

Please stop by Katie’s website and let her know I sent you. I hope you have receive some inspiration from the above video, and please spread the word about Katie’s site.

Enjoy!

This past weekend was quite different for me – rather than inundate myself in more work, business to-do’s and other entrepreneurial brainstorms, I took some time for myself. I quickly came to the conclusion that hanging out by oneself isn’t as overrated as I thought.

Quite nice, actually.

For the better part of 3 years now, I’ve self-admittedly been a workaholic. Which isn’t all that bad, considering I love what I do, can do it from home and it doesn’t take me away from my family as much as it does other workaholics. With me, it’s more about the mental workaholicism – even when I’m not in front of the computer, I’m still working.

I think this weekend was a case of reaching maximum capacity, and deliberately taking a break. I’ve forgotten how much I actually like to do “normal people” stuff on the weekends, rather than saturate my already-saturated mind with work.

Saturday morning I help out a Community Service program to help clean up the streets in my home town, and one of the team members was talking to another helper and I overheard her say, “come on let’s work as a team” you’re not the only one here. For me this weekend was all about there being “no Team in I”. I learned that it’s ok to take time off for myself, because I actually feel more refreshed than I have in quite a while.

Funny how things turn out…

One thing about being a business owner, there is never a lack of work to do. As I type this I can think of all of the things I still want to do along with all of the things I still need to get done. What I have learned however, is that I can only do any one thing very well at a time. So I will start there.

We entrepreneurs can stay in our heads for a long time. Sometimes we want excellence. Sometimes we want the time to be precise. And sometimes we are just afraid that it won’t be right. Problem is, until we get out of our heads, we’ll never know the answer to anything and it will always be in our heads.

The question is how do you get out of your head?
Here I’ll list 5 tips that can get you from thinking to doing in a matter of minutes:

1) Write down a plan with a time-line – sometimes seeing what you need to get done on paper will eliminate the sticky points because you can see it right in front of you.

2) Give yourself a time limit and tell others. If you really want take responsibility for something, tell somebody that you are going to do something by a certain date. They’ll hold you to it.

3) Let go of “perfect”. It doesn’t exist, so just let it go. Do your best and trust you can always improve.

4) Ask for support. Find someone you trust to push you. A personal coach can do wonders for your business and your brain.

5) Just do one thing. Just get moving. Take a leap of faith. Doing something beats doing nothing any day.

Being in your head is a lonely and sometimes scary place. You can be far stronger putting yourself out there. It may not always be perfect, but it will always be right.

Question for you: What can you get out of your head that will make a difference in your business?
