One Degree More

Jonathan Jordan, a bio of a coach, has created a new website to provide a vehicle for coaching in personal lives and in business life. I like the metaphor that he uses:

Applying just one extra degree of temperature to water means the difference between something that is simply very hot and something that generates enough force to power a steam engine – a beautifully uncomplicated metaphor that ideally should feed our every endeavor – consistently pushing us to make the extra effort in every task, action and effort we undertake.

In my previous post, I looked at how a website can be designed. Yet, in that quote, it seems that a minute difference between your site and my site accumulated over time, can really account for a huge difference. That huge difference results almost as the consequence of these differences over time.

Though I may not be able to attend his seminars, I’m interested in several of his books, esp. Instant Cashflow and Instant Systems. Both of these could be quite useful for people interested in setting up an online blog!

Good luck.

How do you build a good website?

So you’re starting up a blog/website… I would suggest that for visitors the key factors would be speed of loading: not too many graphics, eliminate large unnecessary graphics (esp. those in excess of a few hundred kb); accessibility – is it easy to find the key points in the website; pricing – I HATE browsing websites and finding that the pricing is unavailable (what have they got to hide?) esp. when it is for goods or services that are traded over the Internet or are Internet products/services… seems especially dumb;… there are a few other things I have noted in the years I have surfed, but those are important ones to me.

Small Loan, Big Returns

If you can get a no fax cash advance, then perhaps you don’t have to turn to a family member. But if you can’t, a family loan is a great thing, indeed. I found this to be true. In fact, my father was kind enough when I was out of college to loan me the grand sum of $200 to pay for my ELT course training. Turned out to be the loan that started a chain of events that led to where I am now. As a result of his generosity, I took training that enabled me to get a job in a community center role teaching ESL, then with that experience, I was able to get on a Certificate Course (RSA CERT of TEFL). After that, I emigrated and found work teaching in Taiwan. I have now my own business, and a satisfying career. All from a $200 loan. I’d encourage anyone taking a similar route, to look at the page for these tips. In the event that your loan has to be repaid, this page can really help you focus on paying back your loan, properly and efficiently.
