“Nothing Great Was Ever Accomplished Without Inspiration!”

This helps me at times when I need a creative boost.

Mental Power is creative power, it gives you the ability to create for yourself; it does not mean the ability to take something away from someone else. Nature never does things that way. Nature makes two blades for grass grow where one grew before, and Mind Power enables men to do the same thing.

Nature compels us all to move through life. We could not remain stationary however much we wished. Every right-thinking person wants not merely to move through life like a sound-producing, perambulating plant, but to develop – to improve – and to continue the development mentally to the close of physical life.

This development can occur only through the improvement of the quality of individual thought and the ideals, actions and conditions that arise as a consequence. Hence a study of the creative processes of thought and how to apply them is of supreme importance to each one of us. This knowledge is the means whereby the evolution of human life on earth may be hastened and uplifted in the process.

Let us see what are the most powerful forces in Nature. In the mineral world everything is solid and fixed. In the animal and vegetable kingdom it is in a state of flux, forever changing, always being created and recreated. In the atmosphere we find heat, light and energy. Each realm becomes finer and more spiritual as we pass from the visible to the invisible, from the coarse to the fine, from the low potentiality to high potentiality. When we reach the invisible we find energy in its purest and most volatile state.

And as the most powerful forces of Nature are the invisible forces, so we find that the most powerful forces of man are his invisible forces, his spiritual force, and the only way in which the spiritual force can manifest is through the process of thinking. Thinking is the only activity which the spirit possesses, and thought is the only product of thinking.

Addition and subtraction are therefore spiritual transactions; reasoning is a spiritual process; ideas are spiritual conceptions; questions are spiritual searchlights and logic, argument and philosophy is spiritual machinery.

Every thought brings into action certain physical tissue, parts of the brain, nerve or muscle. This produces an actual physical change in the construction of the tissue. Therefore it is only necessary to have a certain number of thoughts on a given subject in order to bring about a complete change in the physical organization of a man.

The website here I created for Nealon and Associates, came out pretty well. Let me know what you think: http://nealonlawfirm.com

Nealon & Associates, P.C., is located in Alexandria, Virginia. The firm is a fixture in the Old Town Alexandria community, as its legacy spans the past 25 years. Nealon & Associates is a boutique firm specializing in providing its clients with the expertise and work ethic of a large firm, but with the personal dedication, relationships and cost effectiveness of a small firm. How do we do it?

We should all know that a website doesn’t generate traffic by itself. You need to be found. And you can either pay for traffic using Pay Per Click campaigns or you can generate organic traffic by being well ranked in the major search engines. But to get a high-ranking in the search engines requires that you create Quality Backlinks.

Research shows that 50-70% of the criteria used by Google to determine what web sites rise to the top of the listings is the quantity and quality of the back links. And that makes sense. If hundreds or even thousands of websites think you rate a mention, you must be doing something right.

With that said, you can benefit and be seeing traffic from the Social bookmarking, Article Marketing, Directory Submission, and Press Release as it is being done on a continuous basis. With directory submissions they mostly all go into the review/approval process so it could be 6 to 9 months before you see the true results from that effort. Done correctly, as the package is progressing it takes time for some submissions to be approved, can take up to 2 months sometimes and longer to see results since they are in an ongoing state at this point. One of the best places to check to see how things are going with your site is to register at www.majesticseo.com. It is a free reliable source to check backlinks and historic progressions.

What better way to prove to you than to show what our site is doing. What you will see is the progress that we have made over time. Still have doubts, See below:

This is a cumulative graph view for past 30 days: http://www.majesticseo.com/reports/compare-domain-backlink-history?d0=jnairbdesign.com&d1=&type=1&IndexDataSource=F

This is a cumulative graph view showing historic progression of backlinks: http://www.majesticseo.com/reports/compare-domain-backlink-history?d0=jnairbdesign.com&d1=&type=1&IndexDataSource=H

This shows external Backlinks:  4,165 was a huge increase from the end of 2011 to date!!! If you go back to cumulative view historic you will see about 1500 or more backlinks since I started this campaign.

We would suggest that once this campaign completes that you continue on using our modified monthly package to help the efforts from the original SEO Premium package.

I found this article today to be pretty good. Check it out below, most of these apps are so common now

A few weeks back I wrote a popular post about the best apps for job seekers that was very well received. I promised I’d share the top apps I use to make my life as an entrepreneur easier. It wasn’t easy, as I have over 100 apps on my iPad and Android (don’t judge me). It might seem like overkill, but it’s important as a small business owner to be able to do business anywhere, any time, with anyone. And to do that, I need the apps to be on both devices since I’m never without one or the other. You never want to miss an opportunity to turn a contact or chance meeting into a client.

Here are some of the apps I use to keep my business humming along.

My Finances:

Square- Let’s start with the obvious. I need to be able to take a payment anywhere, any time and the days of those bulky POS (the S stands for SALES…get your mind out the gutter) terminals. Square allow me to insert a little square dongle (hence the name) into my device and with the click of an app and swipe of a card, I can process credit card payments on the spot. It only costs me 2.75% per swipe and my money is transferred into my bank account within a day or two. There are no other fees and even the dongle is free. Easy breezy. And I just heard they came out with a device for cabbies that they’re testing in New York. Go Square!

Paypal- OK I know some folks don’t like Paypal, but honestly, I’ve been with them since the very beginning. They now have an app where I can just log in, send a payment request to someone and they get an email letting them know to make a payment. I use the standard service and I don’t pay any monthly fees. They charge you on a sliding scale 2.2 – 2.9% plus 30 cents each transaction. I can even create invoices.  But what I like about Paypal is that I can process higher priced services like consulting fees and the like without a cap on transaction amounts. Plus some people just prefer to pay via Paypal.

Intuit Online Payroll- Yes! You can even process your payroll via an app. Intuit let’s you set up your account online (a tedious but well worth it process) and you download the app to your device. Then you can process payroll for your employees. The app is free but the service is $39 per month. Right now they are offering a 30 day free trial. They also offer the GoPayment service that is similar to Square. But if you have employees and you’re always on the go, Intuit Online Payroll keeps you current and professional.

And for honorable mentions, the banks and investment brokerages I use all have apps so I can access information about my money at all times. I also use Mint.com (there’s an app for that!) and XE Mobile Currency (which is a foreign currency converter). It comes in handy when you’re traveling abroad and need to do a quick on the spot currency conversion.

Productivity:

eFax Mobile- I have been using eFax since the beginning of time. I love being able to access my faxes (albeit rare) via email instead of relying on a bulky machine and phone line. eFax has an app where you can view all of your faxes from your devices. You can send, view and sign faxes with eFax Mobile.I can opt to store them in my eFax account or move them over to my Dropbox. The app is free, but the service carries a fee. If you get minimal faxes, then the Plus subscription would suit you. You get 150 faxed pages per month for $16.95 per month. The Pro subscription comes with 200 faxed pages and it’s $19.95 per month.

USPS Mobile- I hate standing in line at the post office. With this app, I’m able to determine postage and buy postage without having to endure those long lines. I can also schedule pickups, track packages and scan packages. I can say it’s been a life saver for me. The only thing it can’t do is check my P.O. Box. LOL

Qrafter- Speaking of scanning, I use this app to both read and create scannable QR codes. I simply use the camera on my device to capture the image and I’m all set. There is a basic and a Pro version. The Pro version costs $2.99.

Printback by Xerox Mobile- I don’t care what they say. There is some comfort in knowing that you’ll be able to print anywhere as long as you have that app. This app is free and supports most Microsoft Office and PDF documents. The best part is you’re not running around looking for a computer to stick your flash drive in or looking to connect or download software to connect to your laptop. You simply choose your document (usually from a Dropbox folder), determine the size you need, then let the app do the rest.

DocuSign- How many times have you had a deal delayed because you have to wait until you received the documents (or send them to a client) to sign and get started? DocuSign takes care of all of that. I keep a standard version of all my contracts and agreements in Dropbox (that name keeps coming up quite often, doesn’t it?) for easy access. Once the documents are updated and ready to execute, I log into DocuSign to get the required signatures…without having to use a printer. You can sign a Word, JPEG or PDF document. The only thing I don’t like is I have to use my finger. I’m waiting on a stylus type instrument to make it easier to sign.

QuickOffice Pro- This is a life saver! If ever I need to edit a word, excel or powerpoint document on the go, this app is my saving grace. Now, I did opt for the paid Pro version, which was $14.95, but because you can only view PDFs on it and not edit, I had to supplement it with another new find (which I’ll talk about next). You can create, edit and share all Microsoft documents with this app. And you don’t lose any formatting! I have not regretted buying the pro version.

OnLive Desktop (powered by Microsoft)- I like that this also allow you to edit and work on Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents. OnLive opens up to look just like your Windows desktop with the icons for each program on the ‘desktop’. You can open documents you’ve stored in the system in any of the programs to edit in real time just like you would on your PC. Don’t believe me? Check it out. It also allows you to store documents, so Dropbox may be repetitive. Both QuickOffice and OnLive Desktop can be synced with your Dropbox account.

Dropbox- OK, if you haven’t heard of Dropbox by now, where the heck have you been? I keep my important documents in Dropbox to use from any device at any time. I have a free account but you can opt for a paid account. My basic account has 2GB of storage. The more people you invite or refer to Dropbox, the more chances you have to earn additional storage space. You can instantly send a document right from your smart phone or tablet after an impromptu meeting and it gets delivered right to their inbox. It’s a must have for easy access and quick retrieval.

I always find it interesting of those who have made it successful, to see what they find to be important. Take a look below and leave comments. “Nothing Great Was Ever Accomplished Without Inspiration“

1. Don’t start a company unless it’s an obsession and something you love.

2. If you have an exit strategy, it’s not an obsession.

3. Hire people who you think will love working there.

4. Sales Cure All. Know how your company will make money and how you will actually make sales.

5. Know your core competencies and focus on being great at them. Pay up for people in your core competencies. Get the best. Outside the core competencies, hire people that fit your culture but aren’t as expensive to pay.

6. An espresso machine? Are you kidding me? Coffee is for closers. Sodas are free. Lunch is a chance to get out of the office and talk. There are 24 hours in a day, and if people like their jobs, they will find ways to use as much of it as possible to do their jobs.

7. No offices. Open offices keep everyone in tune with what is going on and keep the energy up. If an employee is about privacy, show him or her how to use the lock on the bathroom. There is nothing private in a startup. This is also a good way to keep from hiring executives who cannot operate successfully in a startup. My biggest fear was always hiring someone who wanted to build an empire. If the person demands to fly first class or to bring over a personal secretary, run away. If an exec won’t go on sales calls, run away. They are empire builders and will pollute your company.

8. As far as technology, go with what you know. That is always the most inexpensive way. If you know Apple, use it. If you know Vista, ask yourself why, then use it. It’s a startup so there are just a few employees. Let people use what they know.

Choosing the right website design service is integral to online business success. Whether your primary market is online or offline, an effective web platform is essential to optimum advertising and lead generation as well as sales.

Know the Different Types of Web Services on Offer

Knowing what you need in the first place, is essential to finding the best service provider for your online needs. E-business support services can be broadly divided into two categories – website design and online marketing. Contrary to what most people believe, the two are distinct, though complementary and mutually dependent, processes.

Website design refers to the process of conceiving and creating a website. Website developers use a combination of relevant text, eye-catching images, digital media and interactive elements to produce individualized web pages for their clients.

A well-designed website is at the core of any online marketing strategy as an ill-designed and poorly navigable website will defeat even the most perfectly conceived online marketing strategy.  In addition to providing website graphic design, website design services also formulate the metadata or the hidden bones of a website. The right metadata is essential to ensuring that the various site pages link together seamlessly and are in turn linked to other, related and relevant, content on the net.

Once a company website is in place, online marketing strategies come into play. Web marketing companies are primarily geared towards lead generation and link building services. Link building in particular, is one of the most basic building blocks of a successful online advertising campaign.

Links (or hyperlinks) are the connective tissue of the web. Without hyperlinks, websites are like individual islands floating in a vast ocean; solitary and inaccessible. Web links on the other hand act as bridges and highways, connecting these millions and billions of distinct islands into an interwoven whole. Links make it possible for web users to explore a topic from all angles, discover new connections and move seamlessly from one idea to an allied concept.

It is the task of link building services to ensure that any related query on the part of a web user is effectively directed to the client’s websites. Thus, a search for a new puppy leads a web user to websites of manufacturers of dog food and pet grooming equipment; people looking for time management assistance are connected with websites offering day planners and desktop calendars and so on.

Communicate

The best websites are always the result of a joint effort on the part of both the website design service as well as the client. There is no doubt that a good web design company can build a technically effective and visually brilliant website using the latest website graphic design concepts.

However, the website will nevertheless fail to capture the spirit of a particular business unless the client effectively communicates their business philosophy and core ideals. The more time and effort you are willing to spend in explaining what makes your business stand out from the rest, the better the effectiveness of the final product.

To conclude, there are any number of website design services available online. Choose a company that is willing to take the time to listen to your input on the subject to ensure a truly personalized website for your business.

What is a CDN

A Content Delivery Network (CDN) is a network of server localities that deliver your content in multiple locations. Normally, if someone visited your website, they’d pull all your locally hosted static files (images, js, css) off your server directly. Otherwise with a CDN setup, they would pull those static files from their closest CDN, so for example if you were in Texas, the files would be served from a locality in Texas or close to it. What this means is that the files would load quicker because they are served from that location. This means that the person surfing your website will view the page quicker.

Amazon Cloudfront

The main advantage is an increase in the speed with which the content is delivered to the users. CDN users can therefore deliver high definition content with high Quality of Service, low costs and low network load. This can be images, video, streaming media and other types of dynamic media.

What is Amazon Cloudfront

Amazon Cloudfront is part of Amazon Web Services for content delivery. Cloudfront integrates with AWS to give developers and business an easy cost effective way to distribute content to users or web surfers with low latency, and high data transfer.
Some other benefits using a CDN:

• Distributed data centers – Most CDN’s provide localized data centers which are closer to the user in return making page load time faster.
• Boosts performance and saves money – The CDN helps disseminate the load, saves bandwidth, increase performance and can reduce your existing hosting cost–mainly if you have a high traffic website.
• Files may be pre-cached - If someone visiting your page has already visited a site using the same CDN, the file has already been cached by your browser and want have to be downloaded again.
