I have been very busy lately and really do not have time to write this right now, but I thought it would help me as I talk through each of the things I am going through at the time. This is kind of my “to do” list, if you will. And if you won’t, well I guess I will just have to deal with it. So here is what I have been up to and will be up to for the next few weeks/months:
KCFit.net - KCFit.net is working towards some neat new walking programs that will engage kids throughout the KC Metro area. We are excited to do things like this because kids, frankly, are more gracious. I think most people will agree that doing anything for kids is rewarding and worth the effort.
Ideas and Angles - I have been asked to come and speak to a group of business owners about Facebook and the power of the social networking site. Many are interested due to some recent work we have done with I-70 Auto Service on their Facebook page.
We have been working on a website design for the Blue Springs F.I.T. (Families In Training) organization I am a part of. It is scheduled to be unveiled August 1st!
We partnered with a local Executive Search Firm to bring an online presence to a new service they are looking to provide in which they/we do your networking for you. We think it is a great idea and will help people find jobs in this tough economy. Check out NudgeYourNetwork and please send your thoughts and feedback our way. Reaching out to your contacts is the fastest way to getting a job, but it is not always the easiest thing to do on your own. If you think it is valuable, I ask that you pass the word on (through Twitter @networknudge or on your blog) and help us help more people find a job!
I am meeting with a few people tomorrow to discuss a website for their new company. It sounds like they would like to build in some social networking tools to help them get off the ground. I am really excited to meet with them, as people starting their own company are generally more passionate about their work than most!
I received a phone call yesterday from a local company that came across the Ideas and Angles website and were looking into some social media agencies to aid them in some 2010 campaigns. They have some things going and it would certainly be fun to work on a campaign as apposed to just helping someone get a presence and teach them how to manage their presence on social networking sites. We hope to put together a some very compelling ideas and proposals in order to land the project.
Wedding - I am getting married in October and even though it seems like we have most things under control, new things constantly surface.
ABoutiqueParty - Megan’s company ABoutiqueParty sells Miche Bags and we are about to launch an e-commerce site in order to sell more Miche products and hopefully expand into more Boutique items that she takes with her to her Boutique Parties. This should be unveiled within the next week or so. Keep an eye out as we will probably have some specials as it gets rolled out. Megan is such an amazing marketer, that I know she will be incredibly active both online and with her at home “parties” to get momentum early.
Olivia - She just keeps going and never stops. I love it! I just wish I didn’t feel so busy and rushed all the time right now. I feel like she and I have not had a great deal of “quality time” together for the last week or so. She continues to amaze me every day.
My brother - Scott and Julie bought a house and are doing some work on it before moving in. I spent the last weekend helping him put in a new floor for the entry way/kitchen. I really like some “manly” work every now and again.
I am sure there is more but I better be getting back to making things happen. Keep an eye out for all the great stuff coming up soon. Please leave comments about some of the projects and what you think of them. Or leave comments about projects you are working on.
