Work on you, then work on your business.

For a business owner on the net, it’s tough to figure out how to get from nowhere to somewhere in the virtual land of everywhere. The best way to do this is mapped out below for your easy following and use.

Included is mind work, ways to capture your thoughts and share them with others, the best tool around for learning the languages of the internet, brilliant marketing resources, and ways to off-load the stuff you don’t know how to do or don’t have time to do.   In short, this list makes you smarter, faster, and more clear so you can grow your business.

1.Mind42

This is still in beta, but for mapping out your thoughts and allowing those thoughts to “spin off” and go down tangents, it’s terrific. Mostly because, after you’ve gone down the tangent, you are able to recall what you were originally working on! For a business owner, this is a priceless commodity.

2.Jott

This one is also in beta (public beta). Take a moment and recall this morning when you were driving in to work and you had a GREAT idea, so you either tried to text it to yourself as you were going down the road (dangerous!!) or just told yourself you’d just remember it? Then, when you got to your destination, you discover - *drat!* - that you either hit all the wrong buttons to text the message or you’d completely forgotten the great part of the thought? Enter Jott.com.
How’s it work? Sign up, they give you an 800 number to call. You call the number, they ask, “Who do you want to jott?” You say, “Myself.” Then you hear a beep. You say your message and hang up. When you get to your destination and check your email - it’s there, waiting for you in your inbox, already transcribed and ready to go! Brilliant!

3.ITeamWork

ITeamWork is wonderful for collaborating on a project with others, but it’s also terrific for keeping yourself on a schedule. It does take a little bit of time to set up, but the rewards (the emails you get reminding you of what you promised to do today) are tremendous! Rather than dropping the ball on your own projects, you keep working at them, a baby step at a time, until the whole project is complete. This also works nicely with those honey-do lists!

4.Didyousmellthat/Intern

Dave Ledoux is an internet marketer extraordinaire. For the business minded, he’s a gem because he’s willing to train you to do internet marketing with his intern program. It helps him - interns do the work, after all, but you gain priceless knowledge to apply to your own website. You can go through his 90 day internship and do only the things he asks you to do, or you can do the stuff he wants you to do and mimic it parallel for your own websites and blogs. This is a remarkable experience and the information sharing he’s willing to do is a breath of fresh air.

5.DoMyStuff

With owning a business and trying to work, comes a time squeeze and YOU are the one squeezed! Domystuff.com lets you find a personal assistant for the things you’re willing to release for someone else to do, at a price you both agree on. It’s like eBay for your time instead of for your stuff.

6.W3schools

You can certainly hire someone to do all your websites and make them function, pretty, and all that, but when it’s complete, you’re still at the mercy of the Techie who put it together in the first place. It’s time to learn some of the basics so you’re not so lost - to protect your, your business, your customers, and your future. Take the basic HTML course and learn what’s going on behind the scenes.

7.TheInternetWizards

This is more marketing stuff. Bonnie Boots puts out a gift every month: an internet magazine that’s just chock full of insights and leading edge marketing viewpoints.

8.Guru

This site is an enormous collection of geniuses. Where that’s not quite accurate, it does make it easy to find the genius in the crowd. If you need techie stuff, artsy stuff, copy writers stuff, just other people doing your stuff - try this spot. It’s the first place I go when I need an artist for my business!

9.GoogleDocs

Most people know about some Google offerings. One of the most useful sites Google has in it’s public offerings is Google Docs (beta). With GoogleDocs, you can create an document or spreadsheet, then you’ve got three choices. 1) Keep it to yourself. 2) Collaborate with other(s) by sharing it. 3) Publish the document and make it public, then share the direct link to it with the world.

10.Silva UltraMind System

Silva UltraMind System is perhaps the most valuable of all this list. We began the list with the mind and capturing thoughts, now let’s generate some individual genius thought from YOU! It can be done, you just need the will to do it. If you have the will, follow their simple email course and get going. You’ll be amazed at the things you were thinking and never noticed you were even thinking them!

Together, these sites create a truly brilliant business owner. With these tools in your arsenal, you can think new thoughts, capture them for later, share the creativity with others, keep yourself on target, delegate the little stuff, keep the wool from falling over your eyes and create the kind of businesses that people want to share.
