Best Company in the Universe

JDVHBY JOHN DAVID VAN HOVE

Just returned from a day-long Success Symposium at the Anaheim Convention Center sponsored by "Success" magazine and www.success.com. Twas awesome and reinspired me to get back into public speaking and create events. Perhaps I'll find a forum to do just that in the next six months to a year.

Currently I work for Global Business Development Services in Ashland, Oregon. We develop businesses, websites and people. Check out the various business, web, marketing, broadcasting, mobile, media, and networking tools we integrate. If you desire to create something dynamic and powerful let me know.


As some of you know I've done extensive teaching, mentoring, lecturing and training in the past including producing two 12-CD audio courses. Just launched three programs this year related to business and personal development. Next year I'll launch the fourth.

Are you paranoid when it comes to social media?

* July 27, 2009 by Patric Welch
* Topics: Internet

Last week, I was catching up on some email and discovered a great article on social media from Michael Reynolds, President and CEO of SpinWeb. The article, which appeared in Michaels shift+refresh® newsletter, was so spot-on I immediately contacted Michael and asked him if I could run the article on my blog.

Anatomy of a Power Purchase Agreement | Greentech Media

You don't negotiate the terms of a mortgage when you buy a house -- it's a pretty standard document. And you sign with the bank, not the realtor, not the builder and usually not the seller.

But if you want to enter a power purchase agreement (PPA) to finance a solar system on a commercial or residential roof, there is no standard document and there is no standard entry point -- you can get the PPA through a variety of integrators or through a PPA firm.

The SEC Passes Regulation Which Only STRENGTHENS Case to Own Gold | ZeroHedge

"Paper money eventually returns to its intrinsic value – ZERO." - Voltaire (1729)

Anyone who sees this new regulation and feels safe leaving their money in money market funds needs to have their head examined.  The "intent" is to prevent a "run" on money market funds when the next crisis hits.  Essentially the passage of that regulation signals the high probability of such a crisis happening.

Report: Carbon Price Needs to Be at $40 for Commercial CCS | Earth2Tech

Here’s another hurdle for the carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) market (where carbon emitted during power generation is collected and stored): Research firm ABI says that the price of carbon on emissions trading markets needs to hit $40 per ton of CO2 for CCS to “attain true commercial status.” Ruh-roh.

Planning Skills and Evaluations

FROM SUCCESS EDUCATION COURSE

Plan for Your Life

Your education will be ongoing. It will continue through your life. For the truly living, it's not going to ever stop.

In the words of Bob Dylan, "a man not busy being born is busy dying."

It might just be that we don't really die. We just stop regenerating and healing. With this commitment to your life locked in to your consciousness, you can begin to plan your life as if it might just go on forever.

Everything you learn, perceive and experience, every communications and contact with others is potential information that could be usefully integrated into your plan. But you must be very discerning not to include information that is irrelevant. So be alert, listen carefully and don't miss the diamonds in the rough.

With what you've learned in this course and the other continuing education programs to follow, you can confidently step into structuring and planning for financial independence to meet your goals and objectives. So now you are going to start doing a plan for your life.

Your Life is the Project

Your life is your most important project of all. Imagine and think deeply about what might be the action steps necessary to take this project, your life, from concept to action to completion. Now, this is quite a forward-thinking plan. You might have to look ahead seven generations into the future. But let's begin by creating a 3-month plan, a 1-year plan, and a 5-year plan. The rest will follow. Begin by formulating your purpose, if you have one. And if you don't have one, then it's time to consider what the purpose of your life just might be.

Taking Inventory

Consider your life a research project as well as your business development. If you do not have the information you need to begin or complete your individual or business plan, then you must do your own research. You can accomplish this through networking access to the key people, projects, programs and media in your local area? There is your local and regional area, national and global resources that might have to be found. You can learn how to use Internet search engines to be able to selectively find exactly what you're looking for. Remember, to have discernment in all areas of your research and be able to sort through the information and the disinformation.

As you begin to assemble the research and all the pieces of the puzzle, be sure to have a tracking system, some method of organizing and filing the information so you can retrieve it at will. Information is only as good as your ability to track it.

So first you're doing research and taking inventory. Second you've got to evaluate the information and screen for relevance. Third, you might have to create communications as well as writing a business plan, doing market research and a capitalization plan. Do not be overwhelmed. Take one step before the other, just like walking. Once you get good at it, you'll be able to run.

In summary, planning skills and evaluations include:

  1. A plan for your life
  2. Considering your life is a project
  3. Taking inventory of your resources.

Anatomy of a Power Purchase Agreement | Greentech Media

How Businesses Spend Their Social Media Dollars | Flowtown

Social media marketing seems to be an increasingly prevalent buzz word, and for good reason.
