Time for an update...

It seems there can always be "something to do", and one would never finish anything. I guess the only really successfully way to get everything done, is perhaps do one thing at a time, and then keep going...

I have to admit, since completing my NLP Training, I have gone as far as finding a clinic, from which to base my practice. Now I have to work on the very real issue of generating an income, from many directions, and fairly quickly too...

Looks like it's time to invest my time more wisely, if I want to start generating a nice healthy income. In trying to get myself 'set up', I've been trying to find the best way to manage my contacts information, my calendar, and my to-do lists... and I think I've found the perfect solution - netvibes - a neat little website, running on AJAX, which lets you create your own 'portal' onto the internet...

Well, I've known about netvibes for a while, but never really considered it, practically, until after I'd discovered 30boxes.com a simple, neat easy to use online calendar. Then, as I added my 30boxes, I noticed 1GB of free web storage, so I had to have that too! It was one of those things that I was just thinking about how do I go about getting, or doing... and it's done!!

Now that I have a calendar, and my addressbook online - I need to sort out the laptop, get all the pics online, so that I can trash them from my hardrive, finally (My Mac never was made for storing lots of pics, and then using iphoto to load all thousands of them...), and then once I've deleted all the pics, hopefully the laptop will stop responding so frigging slowly, and I'll be able to get some real work done - like building some websites, and making an e-shop... Excuses I know, but I'm gonna go at it one step at a time... I guess I just need to be sure of which steps I do when, so that when I get offtrack, I know what to do, to get back on track!

Time to get back to my to do list, and make sure I start to follow it.

As for the NLP stuff, I've got my certificates as Practitioner, and Therapist, and I've got a nice little clinic in Fulham, that have let me use them as my 'base' - so I'm going to just put the word out, and see what happens. Problem, as usual is, as soon as I start talking to people, I need to update their contact details, and then tidying my addressbook becomes the priority, so I'm going to lay off the addressbook over the weekend (well, I might use it a little, so that I can get some of the scraps of paper lying around out of the way!)... And I desperatly need to find something better than del.icio.us - it's too slow - in fact, painfully slow, that it hurts sometimes...

well that's all from me for now, I'm going to work on that to-do list, to make sure I get everything I need to do, done!

NLP Seems to be the next big thing...

I just started a 7 day Practitioner Training of NLP, with Topher Morrison, in London.

The guy is just absolutely awesome, and I have so much respect for him! Just a bit of a shame about his websites, and the online presence that he's created for himself... Perhaps I can do a little something to help him sort his act out, when it comes to websites...

Anyways - I'm going to do an amazing job of becoming a Practitioner, and in no time at all, I'm sure I'll have everything in place to move on in my life... It already seems to be starting...

More as it happens!!

Nutty Networking kicks off....

And this weekly update kicks off at around 2:36am - because, I so want to write something, before too much time passes!

It appears that when I actually have to get something done, I manage to actually successfully complete the task that I set out to finish. Contrary to my own opinion, where I was starting to believe that I really had lost the ability to get anything finished - I'm starting to find, that as long as I lower my standards - I can get anything done, slowly but surely.

Today's actually been a really productive day... I've re-launched my budding career as a 'website' developer... Using a greatly simplifed tool called Joomla, all of the content gets to be managed from one single place - and since the tool takes care of all the links, and connections, you don't need to technically know much HTML to get a website up and running. For the moment, I'm working on http://www.mirela.org, which was due to be completed about 2 weeks ago. However, it's only been done in the last day or so. It hasn't been uploaded yet, since the access details aren't in my control - but for anyone who really wants to see what can be done in a days work you can check it out here. But it's still missing testimonials, and images, which hopefully will be supplied tomorrow, since I'd like to be able to finish this website, and start building up a client base.

I also discovered a great website which allows you to give out webmail to anyone who wants to use your domain name.

Got a few more websites to build over the next few days, but one of them might start to bring in some serious cash...

Keep watching this space!!
