Recovery Mode
September 24th, 2009
Not too much to talk about tonight. I’m actually still recovering from the all-nighter from two nights ago. I can’t pull all nighter’s like I used to. Maybe it’s because I’m getting old. Or maybe it’s because when I have them I usually have to spend 8 hours at the 9-to-5, the next day versus a few hours at school. Yeah, I’m going with the latter.? I ain’t old yet, although my left knee creeks at the gym.

I ran into a bit of a cash-flow problem so as of now, the yellow-letters sit in a box still on my living room floor.? Waiting on one of my checks to come through so I can part with the $400 in postage needed to send them out.? I should nickname my bank account LIFO.
Websites and Yellow Letters

I met with the broker today to discuss the possibilities about his new website.? The meeting went fairly well overall.? However, it seemed to lack focus, we were all over the place with our meeting topics.? I like structure and agenda, I’m organized like that.? So when we were discussing things at random, I felt like we were wasting effort that would be better spent focused.? But despite that fact, I think we were able to gain an understanding of each other.? He basically wants a website that has all of the bells and whistles a site that the largest Champaign Property Management company should have.? And I think I was able to successfully convey that I could provide that for him.? I didn’t sleep last-night as the hours were spent drafting a plan for his new website complete with new ideas, comparisons of the competition, etc. Now, I just need to submit a formal bid to get the gig.? I need that gig for mo’ marketing money!
Next week it’s on!

I just realized that I seem to always fail to keep my word when I mention posting again the next day or whenever.? Yesterday flew-by.? I did blog, but yesterday it was to BiggerPockets.com.? Contributing posts to that site is so taxing, I’ve only been doing it for three weeks.? It feels like it takes me all week to thing of a good post to create.? I try to be as unique and original?as possible while?focusing on a small niche of Real Estate/Technology applications. Uhm…not sure if that just made sense.?

I received some news today that upset me a bit and to be quite honest, it kinda effed up my whole day.? Basically, without going into too much detail, I performed a service for a client, a service that I don’t typically offer.? I told him this and specifically stated, “you can pay me what you feel is fair”.? I left the ball in his court.? The next time I saw him, he told me to “invoice” him.? Now, I interpreted that as a counter to my original statement that subliminally meant, “just invoice me as I don’t want to overbid on the project”.? So that’s what I did.? Then today, I hear from a mutual acquaintance that the client feels that I price-gouged him.? The mutual acquaintance then gave me a mini-lecture about building relationships and networking, saying that I shouldn’t have charged so much.

Windows Movie Maker – Extremely Quick Tutorial
September 11th, 2009
As I mentioned a this morning, I planned to create a quick tutorial on Windows Movie Maker.? Since, I was bored and didn’t have enough time to work on my offers, I threw it together this morning.? It is an extremely quick run-through, but I hope at least one person finds it helpful.? I actually learned something, I actually like the wipe-away transition, I may start using it.

I finished the 1007 Beaver Creek video at around 3:00am.? Since I have to be in at work at 7, I figured what is the point in sleeping.? So here I am.? I’ve been trying to perfect some settings on my WordPress blog this evening, huge time drain.? As you may have noticed, I switched the theme.? I only did that because the old one had a column of info that I could not manipulate.

Things are really going to explode in a big way for my business soon.? I say that because I have been making major progress in many facets.? Last July when I was at the Short Sales Riches seminar in Las Vegas, I learned some cool tips on short selling and birddogging short sale leads.? But, the most valuable tip I learned was from Colin Andrews Egbert when he was informing the crowd about his REI Web 2.0 program.? That tip was that: Read more…
