Have You Created an Impossible Business?
Marketing Guru from About.com (and if you haven't subscribed, you should), CJ Hayden talks very seriously about business models that need a bit of tweaking. I couldn't help but think of real estate, after all, I paid for my ads in the Real Estate Book, my REALTOR.com account, my REALTOR expenses including two boards, my USAMLS website, my Visual Tour, my Top Producer, my RE/MAX, and while I was making a whole lot of money, I was spending a whole lot of money. Not to mention TIME. The question is: Is that necessary?
Look at what you're doing in your business, is it necessary?
I'm still running that KDMcCall.com site....

iGoogle
iGoogle iGoogle, i do, i do, i do, and so should you. And the Google Toolbar is... AWESOME.
I was having a technical problem... one of those afternoons spent online with Microsoft tech support in India - where it is HOT today, and by the way, India is one of the hottest climates in the world - and no, I didn't know that. But I don't mind talking to tech support in India, those people are smart. Not only can they work remotely on your computer, they can speak to you in English while they're doing it. Ask about your children. Now, really, I'm super nice to those folks, I can't begin to do what they do.
But in uninstalling a corrupt Silverlight file and reinstalling it, along the way I lost my Google toolbar, but the good thing is, I didn't loose it forever - I downloaded a new one, it's back and it's running and I'm thrilled to PIECES. And it seems to have saved my settings. Apparently I locked them in to my Google universal settings. (see far right on tool bar, little green ball with pull down - pull down and make your settings universal).
PCHell does not make for the most delightful day, but some unexpected things happened, as they often do, while I was searching for help. I found PCHell.com where I spent a good bit of the morning, in PC Hell, not necessarily at PCHell, if you know what I mean. PCHell has some super information like How to Keep Your Computer Up to Date and Ten Steps To Troublefree Computing and I can happily report some of these things I already do and while we all should, well... 'nuff said.
But I digress - the Google Toolbar is easy and fun, if you Blog, if you share items on Twitter, or Facebook, try it, you'll be glad you did.
And yes, it's too bad we don't have a tech support call center here in Rutherford County, but we don't exactly have a highly technically trained workforce here, now do we? See if anyone from Foothills Connect and ICC might hook up with my facebook friend, who runs call centers in India, maybe we can get something going. But I digress.

Seth's Blog: Shiny objects
Seth's Blog: Shiny objects: "Shiny objects
If you're a hunter, are you wasting your gift chasing shiny but ultimately worthless objects?
And if you're a farmer, are you wasting your resources by planting and nurturing a crop that's fashionable but without real value?
It might be fun to win a Grammy or dominate your category in terms of market share, but what's it worth if it doesn't support the actual goal?
Marketing is more powerful than ever. We have more leverage than ever before. Which makes picking your milestones and your goals more critical than it has ever been.
