One area that excites me a lot is taking the mundane out of work. “Automate the automate-able”. This frees up workers to do higher-value-added work, “inspired human work”, which is both more rewarding and more fun. That kind of empowerment is one aspect of mass prosperity. (And for those comfortable with their mundane tasks and not wanting to change, well, the future is going to overwhelm you with or without Quintify making its mark…)
The time has come to build the company and build the team.
Fun!!!
(In the meanwhile I sure am working a lot!)
I wrote this back in 2005 but it still stirs and drives me today.
– The ubiquity of the web (connecting everyone to each other and to every thing)
– The power of the database (store, access, and process info)
– The cost structure of today’s technology (e.g., the LAMP platform (i.e., none of this has to cost that much))
to provide individuals and organizations WOW tools that
– allow them to do new things that enhance the quality of their lives
– allow them to automate the mundane in order to have more time for more worthwhile things
– connect them to others in new, novel ways
– allow them to capture, organize, search, and share their info and keep it as long as they want it
– quite simply: significantly enhance their lives
Tomorrow I’m going to be the guest on The Business Coach Radio Show with Reggie Shropshire (Wednesday, Sept. 17 on WAAV 980 AM). We’re going to talk about “How a Great Database Can Add Incredible Value to Your Small Business”. I’m looking forward to it!
When offered to do this, I picked the last possible date on the list, knowing that this would be a great time to finally get a website but that I’d need some time to work it in. But with everything else going on, tonight has been “get the website ready enough for the show.”
So, after building so many websites and databases for so many, I now have my very own. It’ll hopefully get tweaked to death over the next couple of weeks, but with all the standard caveats, here’s the link:
Oh — in case you haven’t heard I’m going to no longer use Majan IT. Nobody knows how to pronounce it, and nobody can remember it (even those who have been my client for years), and it sounds (and is) foreign. So now the company name is Quintify Database Solutions. “Quintify” is a made-up word just waiting to be filled with our brand.
Next on the “working ON the business” list — a design for this blog!
