Video 1 Done... Audio for 2 Done too

Logged 15 hours today... got Video one: Why Now posted on You Tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEPNxuIZuVw

And recorded the audio for #2 as well as starting on the video.

The rest of my day was networking while working on the videos... mostly through facebook. The fan page is slowly growing: http://www.facebook.com/pages/One-Community/160724370640802 but should pick up speed once I directly start contacting people to let them know what we are up to - personal contact list is expanding by huge leaps and bounds...

Audio for video one done!!

Now hosted on Digg (http://digg.com/news/lifestyle/http_www_onecommunityranch_com) and the audio for video One is done! Spent about an hour on the video already and researched different ways to post it in many more places than just YouTube.

Also got the www.onecommunityranch.com site crawled for the first time since migration (25 pages indexed so far) so Google is now finding us if you search for "One Community Ranch" as the #1 find.

Put in about 15 hours today.

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...

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!!!
