Little steps turn into giant leaps.

Having the responsability for the children I went back to collage on a part time basis to brush up on Maths and English, teaching methods have changed a great deal from my schooldays, the refresher was just the thing to help the children with their homework and education in general.

This is also a help with my writing having been into computers from the 1970s using American spell checkers in the UK for years created serious confusion with spelling, not that I was good with spelling in the first place.

Knowing I needed to get the business back on track, I also had the time to reflect on what I could have done better, after all I was virtualy starting from scratch. Most of my lists were gone and my sites with the exeption of the hosting were in disaray.

The first thing was to get better organized with my computer files, I came across a fantastic piece of software called the

IM Index

. Just the job to have all my information, programs and scripts in a very easy to find format. as I have never been the most organized in filling, I estimate this little program has saved me hours every week with now being able to find anything on my computer with just a couple of clicks

Having done some programing and it is a good compliment to hosting I purchased a ready made re branded resell rights site

http://www.fivedollarscripts.com

along with some exclusive scripts to start rebuilding the business.

I also realised very quickly the promotion methods I had used previously were now much less effective, I needed to retrain myself.

THE PLAN

Education is the key:
Having used, bought and promoted training courses in the past, some very good, some not so good I had to find a way to go for the courses that would give me the greatest benefit. Having spent years in isolation behind the keyboard when the opportunity arose to attend my first live event in the UK, tickets bought hotel booked away I went to the Focus marketing seminar. The prime objective to find a good mentor.
