It seems so common yet so annoying when I ask someone "how are you?" they respond "been busy" or something along those waves lengths. No that being busy is wrong or that your busyness is in anyway offensive to me. However it seems that if you are busy you are doing the right thing no matter what that is. We are all busy, my days are jammed packed with busyness. But I would rather say I am focused. Everything I do I try to do with a purpose in mind not just a mind to be busy. Back when I was a door to door salesman the common thing I heard around the office was  "Activity breeds success"  and there is truth in that saying, you gotta go do something. Are you doing the right thing. Many people are busy chasing after the wrong things. And its not that they do it on purpose many people chase exactly what they think they want but they end up with the wrong thing. No this is not some highly intellectual post, its just my thoughts, Be sure you are focused on the ...

So I am no expert on Social Media I do not pretend to be either. Though I am often asked by many of my clients on how to use social media, when to post ect. A lot of what I do is teach people how to use social media and less management. In fact truth be told DataCom's facebook account is not solely managed by me. A big Shout out to my colleague and marketing guru Bethany for all her hard work with DataCom't Facebook. When she starts her social media company I will be sending all of you to here for your social media questions! Until then I will continue to provide resources in the best way I can. I found this cool graphic below that I want to leave here. I hope the owner will not be to upset as I am using it as a resource and hope to pass it along to others. I do not know who the owner is so if you are the owner please let me know so I can credit you!  Please comment and let me know what you think. -Nate

What is the Magic of Network Marketing? It is the desire that we all as humans desire relationships. Here is what I have learned works when it comes to network marketing. 1. Get out! Don't hang around the office, you are not going to market very well from the office. Sure you can buy advertising at the office and get them to come to you but that is not network marketing. 2. 3rd place marketing Network marketing is a 3rd place marketing. What do I mean by that? Simply this; everyone has a home that is the 1st place many advertisers try getting buyers there via tv, mail and so on. 2nd place is someones work or school, so you can gain clients via your coworkers, or by calling decision makers. Network marketing is 3rd place marketing. Meeting people at church, at the bar, at a Chamber after hours. These are what we call 3rd place. The third place is where you go to talk about the other 2 places. 3. Be Memorable No one likes a boring person, and no matter who you or what you do y...

A couple of years ago I was in a place where this concept scared me more than anything. Not because of what scripture tells us but in the way that I did not think I could afford giving my first fruits. What follows is simply my testimony of my journey thus far in this area. I write as someone who has not made it I am still trying to get this down. I hope it helps you. First Fruits What does this mean? If you look back in Genesis 4 the first mention of the idea of first fruits is made. Cain and Abel in the well known story Cain kills his brother. But why? Well because Cain did not give his best to the Lord and Abel did. Seems pretty petty to kill someone over, I mean Cain still had his best, but what Cain lacked was favor scripture says. Now if you read Malachi which is the last book in the old testament and if you do read the whole book in one sitting it makes more sense. Here you find God very upset because his people are not giving him their first fruits, the best they have. He ...

Today I am writing a post about the Windows 10 auto update. There have been several customers of mine in the last few weeks that have had an issue where Windows 10 automatically updated on their system with no warning at all. Some have felt violated, and voiced anger towards Microsoft because of this. Here are the facts. 1. You are allowing it. By having your automatic updates on Microsoft is sending the Windows 10 update to your 7 or 8 installation. 2. You will have to update your system at some point.  Lincoln Spector in PC world issues August 2014 stated that windows will stop supporting Windows 7 in January 2020. So you have about 3 and half years to make any decisions. And if you have Windows 8 you have until January 2023 , so another almost 7 years on that. 3. All your files will be OK, but no guarantees on your apps. Now I have had some issues with the update losing some things the big issues is that your applications may not work. This is my biggest concern with th...

I don't call this day day 1 because this is my first blog. In fact I used to write quite often several years ago. I think I fell out of habit because of fear of what people thought of me or whatever else moves on to not write. So what is day 1? Today is day one because today I am self employed once more. Simple as that. So as a CEO of myself once again I think it is important to write and share my thoughts. So this blog will consist of my thoughts regarding the world, spirituality, technology, and whatever else flows through. So what is day1? We all get day one more than once but we only get day 1 once. The first day you started dating, the first day you started school. Day 1 is not usually pretty, but without day 1 , day 2 and day 1000 will never come. Today is day 1 for me in a new chapter in my career, I have had chapters before this, and there will be many after this.   I have to reflect some on other day 1 's I have had. One of the most recent was when my son was bo...
