It has been almost a year now and it’s time to tweak things
Posted by: | CommentsIt has been almost a year since I formed Simplified Solutions LLC. The first few months were filled with admin, legal, accounting and organizational tasks. The next several months were spent crafting my identity, my solutions/services, my focus and my business plan. In a perfect world these would have been done before I dashed into hope. You could write a book on all the lessons one learns in the first year of starting a business. I probably should. The last several months since the spring have been very productive. Organizing jobs are going well, and I’m starting to see my niche in this vast marketplace of information, services, ideas and products. I have learned about some tools to avoid- some to use, and as my friend and associate Aaron Marshal says- which tools to put the gas on. Now that I’ve researched and implemented many of these tools I’ll be introducing them all in big ways this fall.
This practicalorganizing.com blog and my bryceraley.com blog are completely updated in WordPress and they make it so easy to add content to your website or blog.
I’m reworking my main website and I have sales pages coming for all our services.
Hopefully this will be more simplified as we wrap up 2008 and launch into 2009.
Digital Coaching
Posted by: | CommentsDigital Coaching is on the rise. I have been paying my own digital coach to teach me ways to be more effective with technology. Aaron Marshall with Techsmo has taught me so much about cutting edge web tools and cool tricks to increase my productivity on my PC (soon to be MAC). He’s done this over a few hour long sessions.
I would consider myself a 7 on the scale of 1-10 tech savvy. I can usually figure out most things by trial and error, or by using the free support most sites provide.
I’m now offering as digital coaching as a service to small businesses, home based business owners and working professionals. Because most of these tools deal with efficiency and effectiveness on your PC or MAC, they fit right in with my overall focus on organization, time management and efficiency.
These two articles explain the need for more professionals in this niche.
More to come on this in the future:
