Zig Ziggler on Goal Setting

Goal Setting

When looking on ways to make my business profitable I looked to the experts and found that goal setting is the key to success. Zig Ziggler is one of my favorite speakers, check out what he has to say.

RSS feed

RSS feed

I found a site to give me inspiration and keep me motivated and with the help of Jeffrey we added it to my blog and set up the feed in my inbox. I have enjoyed the other feed I have set up and I'm going to try and add this one to my Blackberry.

Screencast/Jing Capture I wanted to catch the whole video of how to stay young but it only gave me a picture. I think you can see that running carefree thru the grasses is just what the doctor ordered. Jing is pretty easy, I just like to make things hard

PODCAST's & SCREENCAST's

Well, this is a skill I haven't yet mastered. One of my Library hero's going to come and help me download programs to open the files I want to download. I have put this one off as it hasn't been easy (yes, I said the bad word) and time has not allowed more exploration. I am going on to the next steps until my hero arrives. I will get the hang of the "un-easy" part of this as I have tenacity and will not give up.

Keeping track of all the AURTHINGS assignment has become quite the challenge. I now have an AOL, GMail, Yahoo, FLIKR, Twitter, YouTube, PBASE, and I don't know how many more accounts. I set up a WIKI account but can't get into it (so much for keeping track of my family activities). I have been having fun with Facebook though I haven't been participating in any of the activities as I don't need to become addicted to farming, ughh!!!. I had never been into YOUTUBE until this assignment and realized there are a ton of things to explore. Can't wait to try out the new assignments and get to "Denise's" time to play. This is truly the learning experience of a lifetime. Enjoy my YOUTUBE video, I surely did!!! H

Facebook, what an experience. I had my facebook account for a couple of months and never really have time to play. I get updates on my phone from friends and family and it is a great way to stay in touch with people you don't see very often. One of the things I like best is catching my kids posts as they don't always tell me whats going on but I can see when they have a great or not so great day. I have reconnected with family and old friends. It is a blast, I just wish I had more time.

I picked Mary Kay business groups to help my business grow. Sometimes new idea's come from all different places. I will need more time to explore all of the options available on Facebook. I know that several of my friends are hooked on farming. I think I'll skip that one, cuz I don't need to be addicted to anything like that.

I am enjoying my RSS feeds especially the Aurthing's one as it gives great resources on how to use the things we are learning. Some of our participants are truly amazing!!!!

Setting up RSS feeds seemed complicated at first but once I got started it really wasn't that hard. As I watch to see which feeds give me the most pertinent information I'll add more or delete the ones that aren't useful. Nice to be able to sellect the news/information you recieve. Busy times mean it's important your inbox isn't full of stuff. Thanks for sharing these tools to help streamline my life. :-)

WIKI-FUN
Another tool that is simple to use and offers a plethora of uses. I'm exploring the possibility of creating a Brown Family WIKI to help our family stay connected in a more organized fashion. We do not communicate very well any longer as every is going their own direction and what they forget to share important imformation. It seems like a good place to save/share important dates, phone numbers and up coming events. I'll keep you posted on our successes and challanges.

Too little time, too much to see. Still playing with Flickr, emortalized Rachael & Danny's horseplay. What a great way to save special moments. This week is WIKI, what fun trying something new will be!!!

Flickr had these wonderful pictures that Farhad had posted there. He has a wonderful eye for color and these flowers have brightened my day and will last well into the winter. Thank you for allowing me to hold on to summer just a little longer.

Baby Steps

For a person who has not had a lot of computer experience except for in a Main Frame environment little steps are very important. After several tries I have managed to download a picture, get the blog registered and create an Aviatar. This may not seem significant to manybut the things that are being learned will enable me to keep exploring deeper and deeper in an unfamiliar area. Let's see what I can do next.

Creating a Blog as easy as 1-2-3

Using the internet and it's gadgets gets easier everyday. Stepping out of your confort zone is sometimes hard, but the Aurthings program looks like it will map the exploration out step by step!!! Thanks for leading the way!!!
