Notes:
Random notes – Woke up 3:30am and couldn’t sleep:

- Use graphic mock-ups and layouts. No code is required and a picture tells a thousand words. Super-fast and it creates a model or goal to build towards.

- Make graphic flow of different pieces. This could even be simple flow charts.

- Use existing pages as default icons.

- Get notebooks to my sister and get caught up on what is in the notebooks.

- Help Steve push the adilas world to a real usable level.

- Maybe think of small trial periods for approved persons.

- I need to do more teaching and training. This could be in ColdFusion, adilas, or adilas sales and service.

- Check out the operations seminar at USU. What a great resource.

- I need to play as a team instead of just doing things all by myself.

- Contact my brother and work with him on some of his commercial ideas and what not.

- Get creative on funding and money flow.

- Figure out new projects, scopes, and budgets.

- Go back and review notes from 12/24/12 (December of 2012). Lots of good notes and ideas.

- Figure out what is promised as far as tools and features.

- Schedule the next training event.

- Post the first round of the user guide.

- Recruit internally.

- Put Shari on task with the user guide.

- Adilas university may end up being a non-profit. Until then, go ahead and just run it as it. We can transition later.

- Get the database ready to be duplicated.

- Finish up tools and features for eCommerce.

- Get the content server up and online by end of 4th quarter 2013.

- Organized and prepare the next whole level. Take adilas to the platform level. This is us dreaming to a super high level. Reach and stretch a bit. As a note, plan that this next level or model, at some future point, will also break and become a stepping stone. Include: custom css, layout, design, destinations, flow, tables, code, choices, in-line custom code, API options, pre-built templates, pattern after elements of time with build your own types and apply functions as needed. Be able to create your own flow and check points. Think of holding areas, checkpoints, permissions, and flow. We also need to add correct data mapping back to states and status and holding areas. Track the full life cycle of the items and transactions.

- You dream it up – we’ll wire it up!

- Show flow charts. This could be recommended flow, options, and special circumstances.

- Use other people’s money to fund the projects.

- We bring experience and vision to the table.

- We will build on what we have.

- The new platform level may need steps, phases, and different levels.

- We at adilas need to follow our own advice and dream it up!

- Document it, sketch it out, draw it up, and go to it.

- Make visual homepages with icons and sections.

- Get the notebook caught up… It takes extra effort to do things twice. Writing and sketching and then rewriting.

- We have been planning this upgrade or next level for years. This doesn’t just come out of nowhere.

- Think “platform”! Think “world building”! Think “in-line custom code”!

- Make things consumable!

- Plan the education and training from the get go or right from the start. This can’t be an afterthought. You almost plan it from the beginning and let it lead development. Then it truly becomes marketing.

- The project for the developer’s notebook is very important. We have to share and communicate what is going on. This notebook is a huge part of our communication and direction.

- Plan it out, seek help, use other people’s money to fund the projects.

- Our plan is to share and seek protection out in the open by sharing. We also want to focus on the abundance model. Not only is there enough to go around, this model deals with more than money and business. My sister said the other day, this model also deals with people, skills, ideas, talents, drive, etc. Her saying that really helped my open my mind and think differently.

-Start with education and an open API (application programming interface) or open source code. Those are two huge keys that we currently have shadows of but are lacking the full implantation of those features.

- In order to get where we are going… You have to have some time in the game.

- Education needs to be brought up to the marketing level.

-We may end up leap frogging ourselves. That would be kind of fun.

- Build to eliminate bottle necks in flow, processes, code, education, marketing, people, and other pivotal points.

- We want to get marketing involved from the ground floor level.

- On a personal note, I’ve done a number of projects and tried to market after the fact. That process is pretty tough. We need to see the vision and fund the projects with the vision. Self-funding is very difficult.

- Plan for mobile and new technology!

- Plan for data production and duplication!

- Plan for snap-on and bolt-on additional features. It would be super cool if some of the code and features already anticipated external connections. Think application flex grid level.

- Depending on our goals… we might need to start a whole new company or at least another arm of the current company.

- Talking about new or extending business can be scary. It feels big! But, we’ve done this before and , most likely, we’ll do it again.

- What about timing for this? That is still kind of a big unknown.

- I am sad now. Sitting here thinking about the size of the project that we are currently in and thinking how big this current proposal is. In order to build, the weight, load, and wealth must be spread out. And then I start thinking... Build on what you have! And, the mode softens. I need to remember that saying.

- Use adilas' existing base and experience to market the next level of growth. Again, build on what you have!

- As an idea... I know of a company with a dream and they are daily building towards it. Would you like to hear more or become a part of that vision and dream? The company is called "adilas.biz". Come and check it out!

- The taboo word is not "break" or "break it". The real taboo word is "eventually". This came from a small conversation during one of the lunch breaks during the Logan September adilas training course.

- Choose your flavors (like an ice cream shop).

- Pick your tools (like a tool shed or toolbox).

- Skin your engine (like a vehicle).

- Build your world (like worlds of a solar system).

- This might be a fun part of the adilas formula flyer. Maybe replace the results section of the flyer.

- Sample sketch of this idea (see photo gallery, sketch includes: Choose your flavor (ice cream treats), Pick your tools (tools for building), Skin your engine (different vehicles), Build your world (different worlds and planets), adilas logo in the middle.
