His background has ranged from programming, systems analysis, database design, customer service, IT Management, marketing, and sales. For the last few years he has specialized in database design for small businesses. His current venture as The Effective Detective is to show businesses and the people involved in them how to become more effective in what they are doing. In particular, how to utilize software so that it becomes the boon to their business it was meant to be, rather than the bane that it often becomes. Listen to archived show HERE: Talking Points 1.      I don’t want people and businesses to be more productive or efficient; I want them to be more effective. 2.      Effectiveness is not the same as efficiency or Productivity. 3.      Effectiveness is doing the right things the way that works best for you. 4.      You don’t want to work harder or smarter; you want to work right. That is from James Malinchak, a speaker and coach I really admire. 5.      Technology, really software, has been one of the greatest boons to business in the last 100 years. Unfortunately, software has started to get too complicated. This is because the only way a software company can get you to upgrade, and thus keep making money is to add new features that you may or may not need. 6.      Software today tends to overwhelm people – all the features tend to obscure the ones that are most important for them. This is really obvious in three business areas: sales, marketing, and support. 7.      This is one of the reasons I’m releasing List in a Box.  I wanted to give people something extremely simple, yet something that could actually do a job that a lot of businesses need to do but aren’t doing right now: reach out on a regular basis to their existing customers. It is so much easier to sell to an existing customer, but so many businesses get caught up in the trap of constantly trying to find new customers, they can’t give much thought to people or businesses that have already bought from them. This software gives them an extremely simple and easy way to organize their customer list and actually market to it! 8.      I decided List in a Box should be free so people don’t have to think about whether to make another investment in software, but just get something done! 9.      Using List in a Box a business owner can create a mailing list, segment it, and quickly and easily create sales letters, envelopes, and mailing labels. In fact, I give away templates to do those things too. 10.  Because the list is stored on their computer and it is in Microsoft Excel, if they decide to get some other software package later, or they want to transfer their list to something like SendOut cards, it is a simple matter to export the data. Some packages will even take Excel directly. 11.  I send out several instructional videos that walk you through using the software, and how you can segment your list, and what makes sense when you do that. 12.  Right now it is only available for PCs. 13.  People need to recognize that computers and software are just tools. They don’t solve a problem by themselves – they need you. You have to know what you want to accomplish and then look at what tool and the features of the tool will get you there. You can use a claw hammer to pull out a screw, but wouldn’t it be easier on you and the wood if you used a screwdriver?           Matt Tomsho, The Effective Detective, Finding The Hidden Profits In Your Business Email: matthew@mjtomsho.com Web site (free software): http://TheEffectiveDetective.com Web Site (business): http://mjtomsho.com

TechnoGrannyShow, WordPress, Not Just for Blogging

Web Strategy Coach, Brian David O'Keefe

Techno Granny, Word Press Is  Not Just for Blogging!

Time: 11/14/2011 10:00 AM EST Episode Notes: Did you know there are two systems of Word Press? WordPress.com and WordPress.org............... One is an open source blogging software and the other, well listen in to find out as: Brian David O'Keefe, the Web Strategy Coach Explains the Difference and all the features and benefits of both

Bio

Do you have a web strategy?Every business needs one. Like a budget or a business plan, you need to be intentional about your online presence. If you’re not, you may be squandering some great opportunities.

Brian David O’Keefe helps people make business sense of the Web. Brian coaches businesses and thought leaders on using the dynamic and do-it-yourself nature of the WordPress platform to extend their reach online.

Brian has always loved to clean up and organize things. It’s sometimes a curse for him, but it’s great for you!After working as a software engineer for 22 years, Brian left the corporate world in 2010 to focus on helping small businesses make greater use of the Web. He has a BS degree in Computer Science from Penn State, and has worked for IBM, Legent (acquired by Computer Associates), Transarc (acquired by IBM), and Spinnaker Networks (acquired by NetApp). He’s also done a lot of technical writing, taking complex technology concepts and making them understandable to people unfamiliar with those technologies.

Here’s what some others have said about Brian’s work:

“Brian has revamped my website, making it more current and easier to use. He was delightful to work with: flexible, knowledgeable, and patient. I like his combination of setting up my website and social media as well as showing me how to maintain it and make changes. I find it invaluable that he continues to offer tips and information and remains a great resource.” – Laura C.

“I have a new customer that chose my hair salon because she thought our website was nicer and cleaner than those of the other hair salons in our area. Brian understood what I wanted my website to do for my business, and his suggestions were right on. And Facebook is now one of the primary ways that we communicate with our customers.”– Michael C.

“Brian was amazing as he walked with me through the website creation process, helping me understand what we were doing as he helped give me direction and focus, making the final product incredible.” - Brian T.

Talking Points – WordPress

·         What is WordPress?

o   WordPress is free software that was developed primarily as a blogging platform, and is a fantastic platform for web sites in general, not just for blogs. It was released in 2003, and has become the most popular content management system (CMS) in use on the Internet. The beauty of it is that (1) it’s free, (2) it allows you to administer your web site (and publish new material) directly on the Web without the need for other web development software, and (3) it allows non-techies to create and maintain their own web sites with relative ease. Also, just as the iPhone has spawned a whole industry of app development, WordPress has spawned an entirely new category of software/web businesses that develop WordPress “themes” and “plugins.”

·         What are “themes” and “plugins?”

o   A “theme” is akin to a template and is the look and feel and layout of a web site. A “plugin” is a code module that performs a particular function for a web site. WordPress stores the data of a web site in a database that is separate from the theme and the plugins of the web site. This data includes the text and graphics of web pages and blog posts. Because of this, you can take a web site that has pages of information and years of blog posts, and change the theme with the click of a button. The entire look changes, but the data is the same. Likewise, you can download and install plugins to add specific functionality to your web site, like say, to add an event management system or to create your own social network. There are thousands of free themes and plugins, and there are many “premium” themes and plugins that you have to pay for, but which usually come with ongoing support from the developers.

·         What’s the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org?

o   WordPress.com is a site that allows people to set up free WordPress web sites that are hosted by WordPress (for free) and that have wordpress.com domains (e.g., brianokeefe.wordpress.com). WordPress.org is the place to download the software to then install to a hosting area that you already have (usually paid) and that has a domain that you buy (paid). WordPress.com allows you to set up a site with no cost, but is very limited in the “themes” that you can use (how customizable it is). Using the WordPress code from WordPress.org requires you to do more things on your own, but also allows for total customization.

·         How long would it take a newbie to get a web site up and running?

o   On WordPress.com, it only takes a few minutes to register and get started publishing information if you’re happy with the default theme. And within another few minutes you can do more customizations. Using WordPressGoDaddy or BlueHost, and then your customization options are much greater.

·         Why would a business even want to maintain its own web site?

o   As with business functions like accounting, bookkeeping, or marketing, every business needs to decide what it’s worth to them to do something themselves versus hiring or contracting with a professional. Making small changes to a web site, like changing an interest rate or an employee bio are simple with a platform like WordPress, and someone doesn’t need to be an IT professional to do it, so it may be worth doing that yourself. Designing or redesigning a web site is probably not something that most people should worry about. For example, a solopreneur should focus on the core of their business, not on learning how to make a neon sign for their business. The same holds true for many aspects of a web site. It may be better to pay someone for a few days of their time than for you to take two weeks away from your business to learn how to do something that you may never have to do again.

She is an expert on medical hypnotherapy, Emotional Freedom Technique, Cross Generational Healing and guided imagery. Sanna prepares children and adults for surgery and assists athletes with enhanced Physical Therapy services.

Sanna is a speaker and creates audio programs for health and wellness. She has been featured in major magazines.

Sanna's newest venture is Stomach Banding HypnoSurgery. Her expertise in weight loss, food eating issues, and medical hypnotherapy have enabled her to create a innovative approach to  hypnotic weight loss.

Ready and motivated to lose weight? Been exploring your options?  

You have reviewed protein drinks, exercise programs and maybe even surgeries. Yet, you can't dismiss this overwhelming feeling that your BMI is higher than you ever imagined and the pounds are piling up. How can you reach your goals? You can't even imagine yourself thinner with this mental load?

Have you considered applied HypnoSurgery and mind based approaches to resolving your weight problem and to improve your health?

Hypnotic Stomach Banding Surgery is one valuable hypnotic strategy, among many, available for mind based weight loss. There is no pain, medications or side effects. You relax back, close your eyes and daydream your way to a slimmer body and healthier life style. 

Cinch Me!, Stomach Banding HypnoSurgery, is the creation of Sanna Carapellotti, MS CHt, Medical Hypnotherapist in Pittsburgh. She offers the choice of private sessions or classes to achieve the result of virtual stomach banding. Her approach is designed to teach you how to manage eating, select foods and manage life and eating stress so you  become more conscious of food consumption and love food again.

You might be wondering how this can work? No actual surgery? Huh?

The mind body connection is a powerful one. Think of a juicy, tart lemon and you salivate. Feel scared and the blood drains from your face. Get nervous and your stomach quakes.

Creating believability in the mind that the actual surgery had occurred leads to the creation of the sensation of fullness and as an outcome your food intake reduces. You feel more satisifed, too. The strategic guidance directs the mind to simulate a tightening sensation in the abdominal area, namely the stomach. The process is a building one and will be audio supported to reinforce the mind body connection.

Cinch Me! includes HypnoDining, stress management and nutritional guidance along with the hypnosurgery procedure. 

Mind power is a strong unused force when it comes to weight loss. Consider Cinch Me! If you have 35 plus pounds to lose and are ready to transform your life style! You'll feel happier, too!
