Thank You, Jojo! :)

My best friend, Jojo, has always kept me in mind for doing web design work and consulting but I was too busy with my own projects until just a few months ago. Since then, she has really been putting in a good word for me all over town apparently. Because of her and her father, [...]

My Presentation Was A Big Hit

I’m very excited. My presentation to the European client went over better than I could have expected. In just two, short weeks (with only a few days to really devote), I managed to hit the nail on the head. Everything I had researched and prepared was exactly along the lines of the uniqueness and freshness [...]

The BIG Day

Well, today is the big day and is the reason why I haven’t posted as often in this blog over the past week. I will be presenting my presentation to my potential client this afternoon, and I think I have a really awesome presentation lined up. Hopefully, they will agree! Anyway, I’m still trying to [...]

A Long Hiatus

It feels like forever since I’ve written in either of my blogs. Every day, I thought about how I wanted to write but just couldn’t make the time. This deadline had me all wound up and I really had to focus. But, believe me, I wanted to write. I’ve found that writing out my thoughts [...]

Whew! Gotta Love Deadlines!

It was close, because of the ShrinkTheWeb outage over the weekend. I just barely managed to meet my deadline on the inital draft overview of my proposal with my client yesterday. But, we had a good session and they can see that I do excellent research. So, that’s good. Now, I have a LOT more [...]

Been Procrastinating WITH Work

I haven’t posted in a few days, because I’ve really been under-the-gun on some on-going projects. At least I got one major client to agree on pushing back a start date until February 1st -which gives me some breathing room. I have a major presentation to a big-wig of a $100 Million+ European consulting firm [...]

Yay! I Finished Another Project…

I have five major projects that I’m handling concurrently. Since I have been a bit overwhelmed, I have been really procrastinating on these and really “played” around on the Internet most of the weekend –while Leah was working and studying all day and night. I mean, I did get a lot of “work” done, but [...]

Whew! Gmail and Yahoo Email Suck!

Well, I just spent the better part of 9.5 hours re-writing and adding code to some of my businesses so that I can try to combat the effects of “spam trap poisoning” (i.e. sabotage) and over zealous spam filters that are really hurting my online businesses. I have procrastinated for years on researching the effect [...]

Calculating the Value of Your Time

Those of you who know me personally, know that I have always thought of my time in terms of dollars. It goes beyond just thinking that “time is money.” It becomes something more. It becomes something quantifiable and comparative. Viewing things this way is how I have been to able to immediately determine if something [...]

Another Busy Working Weekend

It’s been another busy weekend for me, because January has proven to bring quite a few opportunities and I need to take advantage of as much as possible. This is especially true in my line of work because work can come in waves and then have a long drought. Anyway, I’m making good progress, and [...]
