Random notes, brainstorming, and other ideas….. -What if we taught a class and trained the trainers. I could lead it and then video type it. We could then post it online for other trainers to see. We could even let our customers see it so that they could train their staff or other companies. -On elements of time – allow people to assign a task to a user and then have it show up until it is done or marked off. This is somewhat of a reminder type thing. -On elements of time – add a temp span or color block and id if an end date or time is known. Instead of full color blocks taking up the entire cell, just use a little piece that says, I’m a “blocked in” or “scheduled” piece. -On eCommerce – our first go at it may be only existing customers, web pricing, and only go to the quote or order level. No payments, no inventory, tweaks, etc. -On the orders or quotes (eCommerce) – maybe set the invoice classification to “online order” and then make all normal quotes without the invoice classification (or a default) so we can tell what is what. It would also be cool to be able to sort or pull back data according to the classification. It may be cool to track the classifications as difference windows or date ranges, one-to-many. -Yesterday, 12/18/12, I went in to town to run some errands and spread some love for Learn to Freeride (an interactive CD-ROM that shows freestyle tricks and moves.) As part of my day I went by the technical college where my dad works. I chatted with him for a good half an hour and he pointe me in a good direction. We talked about a bunch of things and here are the cliff notes or shortened version. o Take a few steps back o Make a plan o Show the current tools in the shed o Teach and show o Use the product to show the product o Get ready to expand “as is” o Let people know what we are doing o Work smart o Offer classes, use technology, trade out we work for class time (there at the college) o Take yourself out of the pivot point These may not be his exact words, but this is what I took out of it. -Since then, yesterday, I have added a few more key points that I think need to play in to the mix: o The mix or blend may be what we are looking for. There is a time for each scenario. Order, disorder, speed, slow and steady, work and rest, new and old, etc. o I still need to keep promises made and work to be done. o Play as a team! -Where are we headed? Do I know? Am I okay with that? What would I like to change? I have so many questions and my head is in competition for which emotion to follow. It is kind of weird; I’m at peace yet anxious, scared yet excited, overwhelmed yet driven, doubting yet confident. It is really hard to pin down my thoughts. I can be focused like a laser beam and in no time flat, be as random and spread out as a light hitting a rough, yet reflective surface. I feel in control yet desperately grasping for stability. I keep seeing life lessons being played out before me. I’m part of them, then watching from the outside, then back inside. -Random change of events – one minute I am writing the above message, the next minute Steve calls and we talk for an hour. Then later today, I go on a walk in the snow with my dad and now I am super pumped up and ready to make things happen. -We may end up using the content server as a second adilas data server. Build with major growth in mind. -We need to under promise and over deliver. -Build up the education and self-help sections. Create some points marketing and really put it out there. -Show the vision – make a lot of it public knowledge. -Dream the dream and then live it! -Any outside report – pull the in under the main adilas wing, that way when we expand, they already exist inside the main core or application files. -What if we built things out so adding a new server was as easy as adding a new corporation. Automate database creation, settings, starting values, etc. -Eventually we will need to the ability to talk back and forth between servers and share data via web services. It may be good to start laying that foundation. -We may want to spread things out (servers and services) just to protect ourselves. Think of the saints when they came to Utah, once they got set-up, almost immediately they sent other parties out to settle other areas. That way it was harder for someone to come in and shut everything down. It also created mini bases and strong holds. I’d like to do something similar. |
