Quintified

Want a blog for your business or personal life but don’t know how to get one started? Live in the Wilmington, NC area?

I want to announce a new service: blog setup and orientation. We’ll go to where you are and help you set up your Blogger or Wordpress blog, point it to a domain name of your choice if you want, help you pick and install a template, and show you how to make posts, all for a flat fee of $25. (You’ll need to pay for any domain name you get or paid hosting service, but it’s possible to do this without any additional cost as long as you don’t mind something like myblog.wordpress.com.)

When we’re done you’ll have full confidence on how to use your blog, and you’ll be able to start promoting your blog immediately.

As separate services we can get you up and running on Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn, and/or Twitter, including some initial orientation.

It’s actually going to be my daughter Hannah Wilson doing this, but as she can’t drive yet I’ll be there too and will provide any advanced assistance needed and make sure that everything goes smoothly. You can contact Hannah at hannah@majanit.com or call her at 910-763-0609 (our home number).

Please help us spread the word!

I recently heard Dave Ramsey tell a distressed caller something like, “You need to do ten years’ worth of work in the next three months.” That motivated me to contemplate my situation and to wonder, “What would it look like to get ten years worth of work done in three months — what does that mean?”

Fortunately for me, my situation isn’t bleak like Dave’s caller’s, but this “10/3″ challenge motivates me because I see so very much opportunity at the moment with my Vienna — now is the time to march!

But as I sit here, eleven hours into my workday, I find myself wondering if New Hanover High School is playing soccer tonight, and I remember that my son wants me to play a rented Wii game with him before it goes back to Blockbuster in the morning.

I’m not sure I know exactly what 10/3 would look like, but I know what it wouldn’t look like. I need to eliminate everything that’s not important, and work hard when I work, and work a lot, and see where that leads. (And sometimes soccer and Wii with son IS important, and blogging!

As an aside, Paul Graham, another member of Quintify’s virtual board of directors, has an excellent essay on compressing work and the reward that can ensure from that. Most highly recommended.
