One Community - Origins Outline

What I've learned today...

Not sure if I could have done it any different but here is the learning of the day:

"When you've got 1000 things to do and you run into a problem you can't solve quickly - rather than do 5 hours of research to figure it out... go to the most knowledgable source you can find, ask for the solution, and work on the other 999 things you've got on your plate until you at least hear back."

Added an amazing social media bar to my site that allows people to share the site on EVERY social media outlet currently available... spent about an hour getting it on every page of the site before I realized it didn't work quite right.. 4 hours of research later I realized the answer I was looking for didn't exist and I had to contact a professional...

Now I'm taking it all off the site and waiting for an answer...

1/31

Wow... last few days, let's see. Ezine's article accepted!!!
http://ezinearticles.com/?6-Steps-to-the-Social-Aspects-of-Sustainable-Communities-Planning&id=5689040

Page 8 on Google for "sustainable communities planning" search.

Optimized two more pages... site still not migrated... should be done tomorrow. Purchased www.onecommunity.cc.

Added a search bar to the home page: www.onecommunityranch.com
Finished the Bedrock Investor Page: http://www.onecommunityranch.com/OneCommunity/One-Community-Bedrock-Investor.html
Finished the Business Model Page: http://www.onecommunityranch.com/OneCommunity/Business-Model.html

By the end of Wednesday those URLS should be shortened!!

Spent a couple hours over e-mail and on the phone fixing my business cards... long story not worth telling but they should be fixed now and I've ordered new ones.

Had dinner with Here II Here the band and really connected - we love our mutual visions and are 100% on the same page and going to do everything we can to support one another... attended their concert on Sunday and 6 friends joined us... very cool!

Did an interview with Genevieve for her book...

Re-scripted the first two videos... recorded the audio for one... scrapped it and went back to the drawing board.

Tons more that I can't even remember... all in all about 35 hours of work over 3.5 work days.

1/24/11

Spent the day refixing my ezines article for the third time... hopefully it will be accepted now :) Caught up on all my e-mails and got FaceBook really rolling... crazy to see it grow so fast. All in all, not my most productive day as I was still pretty tired from the weekend.

Picked up the new One Community Business cards... they made some errors so I need to have them replaced.

3 Days at Frontier Trainings "Sales Explosion"

Spent the last three days at Frontier Training's "Sales Explosion" seminar in San Diego learning exactly what I needed to create my 3 video presentations that will be visual representations of the information currently found at:
http://www.onecommunityranch.com/OneCommunity/Why-One-Community-Now.html
http://www.onecommunityranch.com/OneCommunity/What-Is-One-Community.html
and
http://www.onecommunityranch.com/OneCommunity/Joining-One-Community.html

These video presentations will be 3 minutes long and create our YouTube presence.

A few things about the weekend: Clinton Swaine has been someone I've respected as a class act and man if integrity for the past 5 years... this last weekend he took my respect to an entirely new level through his honesty, candor and willingness to just be the outstanding person he is with a completely open heart and willingness to be 100 percent self-realized and open about it. I will not attempt to describe the indescribable and will only say that it is a very powerful and emotional experience for me to see someone standing so firm in their integrity and truly BEING.

Thank you Clinton for being you and sharing with us. Amazing.

On a separate note, Clinton has said he will help me review all the details of this project when we are done polishing in a couple weeks and he even invited me to come down and spend a day with him to discuss it when it is finished; a gift beyond value.

As is always the case with classes like this, I also met some AMAZING people!! Bokki, Marguerite, YenYen, Jenevieve, Lauren, Bob, Leo, Desmond, Heather, Kevin, Jenny, and Ryan... you all stood out in my weekend. Thank you!!!

What a Day! 1/19

Started the day by writing a 1500 word optimized article to drive traffic to www.onecommunityranch.com, checked on when it would be done migrating ( 7-10 days :( ) and then I updated all the links on all 50 pages of the site, redid all the links on the brochure, re-uploaded it, recreated my sitemap and uploaded it, optimized and edited these three pages:
http://www.onecommunityranch.com/OneCommunity/Community-Contribution.html
http://www.onecommunityranch.com/OneCommunity/Sustainable-Community-Planning-Model.html
http://www.onecommunityranch.com/OneCommunity/Sustainable-World.html

and e-mailed Alanis Morissette and Tina Malia to request the use of their songs.

Put a few finishing touches on www.JaeSabol.com (http://www.onecommunityranch.com/OneCommunity/Jae-Sabol.html) too.

I'll be with Hakan tomorrow and then at a sales class Friday-Sunday with a bunch of old friends so likely no blogging until Monday unless I'm feeling spry after my class ends around 11PM each night.

14 hrs yesterday... 12 today...

Wrote, edited and optimized 6 more pages yesterday. Spent a lot of time fixing the rename issue... which can't be completely finished until the site is done migrating to the new host... had hoped that would happen today but it can take upto 5 days.

Finished www.JaeSabol.com today which is actually (currently) http://www.onecommunityranch.com/OneCommunity/Jae-Sabol.html

I also figured out how to mask pages so my various domains can be pointed to different pages and retain their names.

Pretty exhausted from two days of a lot of redoing of stuff I've already done and waiting for the site to finish migrating...

Scheduled myself for a sales class this weekend (Fri-Sun) that is with a lot of old friends and people that will be interested in this project...

Signing off and going to bed....
