Podcast Recommendation – Digital Photography Life

By Brett · Comments (0)
Thursday, November 13th, 2008

I’m about a month behind on this news, but I wanted to give a link out to Scott Sherman and Michael Stein who publish a great podcast, Digital Photgraphy Life (formerly The Digital Photography Show with another podcast network).

I’ve listened to The Digital Photography Show for over a year and find it very entertaining and most of the time educational. Read More→

A camera lens rental company review

By Brett · Comments (0)
Tuesday, November 11th, 2008

A couple of weeks ago I wanted to use a Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VR lens on a photo shoot that I had coming up , but I wasn’t prepared to spend the almost $1700 MSRP for a new one. Luckily now there are several lens rental companies that have sprung up to meet the needs of photogs like me who are getting started and realize the difference that a pro lens can make, but aren’t quite prepared to fork over that much dough.

Even renting such a lens costs more than the kit lens on your DSLR so I wanted to find a good company to rent from at the best price and service combination. As usual I researched several companies and I think I found a gem. More after the jump. . . Read More→

Photo Calendars the right way

By Brett · Comments (1)
Tuesday, December 4th, 2007

I love giving creative Christmas gifts. It’s just so much more fun than buying something off the shelf.

I’ve lost count, but I believe 2007 marks the ninth year that I’ve created photo calendars for my family. Every year I scare them by telling them that I just didn’t make enough photos this year to come up with a good calendar. They never take me seriously and I have always managed to put thirteen photos (one for each month and one for the cover) from the year gone by into a calendar that they can enjoy until the next year.

Mind Mapping with MindJet

By Brett · Comments (0)
Friday, December 8th, 2006

The best way to “think it” is to “ink it”! Since becoming a student of learning and personal improvement I have discovered that it is vital to capture ideas on paper or electronically for later evaluation and use.

As part of a Dave Lakhani coaching group I learned about Mind Mapping software by a company called MindJet. Dave is a “rabid fan” and although I’ve only recently tried the software I can say that it is awesome!

I just learned about a webinar that Dave is doing for MindJet. Here are the details:

The webinar is called “Use The Power of an Hour & MindManager to Map 2007 Goals” and will show people how they can become more focused, and efficient in achieving business and personal goals by investing just one productive hour per day.

Dave plans to talk about his powerful formula for maximizing every hour, show people how to create what he calls “Fearsome Focus®” to maximize “personal effectiveness, help others identify and control once and for all the distractions that keep them from reaching their goals and create a “Master Life Vision Map.”

Here are the details, if you’re interested in attending:

Wednesday, December 13th
1:00- 2:00pm Pacific Standard Time

The Cure for Writer's Block

By Brett · Comments (0)
Tuesday, November 7th, 2006

If you need help writing a:

  • resume
  • letter (recommendation, resignation, thank you, sympathy, etc.)
  • business proposal
  • business plan
  • essay
  • news release
  • research paper

Then I suggest you check out Writing Help Central. I just found this site this week. I spent a couple hours exploring and still didn’t get to the end of the content.

Shaun Fawcett is the webmaster. He’s a former government employee from Canada. If he’s a “former” employee then what’s he doing now? He makes his living writing about writing and creating excellent articles that help his website readers to write better.

Since I’m interested in web marketing myself, I decided to check out Shaun’s case study. When you read this case study you will be inspired. What subject are you an expert in? Writing about it could be your next full time income source.

Let me know if you find Writing Help Central helpful to you!

Start your online business for 33 cents on the dollar!

By Brett · Comments (0)
Wednesday, October 25th, 2006

Ok, I want to tell you a little bit about how I started building my web presence and business, but I’m more excited about the opportunity that YOU have to get start your own successful online business. Hint: YOU can start your own web business the same way I did, but but between now and midnight on Halloween you can SLASH your up front investment by 66%. . .Sound interesting? I thought so!

First though I want to a little about my story.

I have always been interested in computers and I spent my share of time playing PC games, etc. in the early 90′s. I was a little bit slow to see the commercial potential of the internet, but about four years ago I started looking around for ways to make money online.

My problem (I thought) was that I didn’t know HTML or anything about networks or web server software, etc. As it turns out that was really not a problem at all. . .I’ll tell you why later. Read More→

What's the Power of an Hour?

By Brett · Comments (0)
Thursday, October 19th, 2006

I just got off a live teleconference with master of persuasion, Dave Lakhani. He and Ben Mack were training on developing the essence of your brand for your business. Excellent stuff and I can’t wait to go through the process of developing my own brand.

If you’d like to check Dave out start at his Bold Approach site or his Blog.

I don’t have it yet, but I expect to get his new book soon. It’s called Power of an Hour and promises to help you to create consistent and ongoing improvement in your game in just one hour per week. A quote from the site:

The Power of an Hour identifies specific core areas of personal, professional, and business improvement, then guides you through a step-by-step process that keeps you focused so you can reinvent your life and business. The results are fast and predictable.

Power of an Hour is a brand new book and is available at Amazon. If you’ve already read it don’t spoil it for me! :) but do feel free to leave your comments about it. I will review it soon. Stay tuned.
