Follow A Journey of Entrepreneurial Creativity

Hey everyone… haven’t posted in a while… we’ve been traveling and also working on The Business which is now in beta testing with close to 60 members!… busy to say the least.

Anyway, wanted to put these three photos up from our trip… one from San Francisco and the other two from our ride down Route 1 along the Pacific coast in Big Sur… and yes, all three were taken with my iPhone!

The below pic is Sadie and her buddy Griffin in Prospect Park Brooklyn before 9am on Saturday (when they can be off leash) and just after getting out of the pond where dogs are allowed to swim… she really likes to swim!

…the below pic was taken on a hike while we were in the New Paltz area of NY this past weekend while our apartment was being painted. Needless to say, Sadie loved it AND did the full swim in the lake you see in the background of the pic below.

What a cool video… check it out below. That’s of an artist drawing the current cover of The New Yorker magazine on an iPhone while he stood on 42nd Street in Manhattan. There are two articles: HERE and HERE talking about the artist and the developer of the iPhone app used to create this image… very cool indeed.  What will they think up next?

Phew… what a couple weeks of long hours and work it has been but finally, after staying up until after 2am last night with our developer, we have our E-Learning Module up and running on our site!

You can view the introduction HERE.

Love to know what you think… and yes, those are our voices but I don’t have that kind of hair in my “cartoon” image… used to but not anymore. Steph’s image is pretty spot on though:).

Also, we have put a page on our site that is the complete outline of our training module… this lays out everything that we teach via the module based on our 20+ combined years of experience working as assistants. You can see that page HERE.

We’re not launched yet but after some testing and such, we’re getting REALLY close… as always, I’ll keep you posted.

…that’s worth watching:

Yep, you read that right.

Unfortunately, we have to push the opening of our program by a couple weeks for two specific reasons… one that I can tell you about and explain while the other is still under wraps.

You can read how we are making the announcement over at ProAssisting’s site by clicking HERE.

As for the reason that I can tell you about, it turns out that the production of our e-learning module is a wee bit more intense than we thought (a good thing) and is going to take an extra week to get it complete. The module looks AMAZING and we couldn’t be happier with how things are going (other than the delay) and are sure the wait will be worth it.

Now, as for the reason that I can’t tell you about, I’ll at least give you a bit of a hint… we have come up with a “perfect partner” for our service that could have the ability to put us on the map in a big way right out of the gate. That said, we need to have our program complete before we approach this potential partner so they can view the whole package… you always want to put your best foot forward when approaching someone with an idea and so we’re waiting on the e-learning module to be ready before making the offer. Make sense?

If this partnership doesn’t work out, I will tell you the whole story and if it DOES work out, you’ll know right away when you visit our site.

Sorry about the lack of specific posts about “The Business” as of late; we’ve been putting our effort into getting the word out. But I can assure you that after we’re launched, I have some more “inside info” about the process and marketing that I’m looking forward to sharing so please stay tuned.

The below video is of Sadie frolicking in the snow in our back yard and in the sand out on Fire Island in February… video might be a little long but her parents are just fine with that:
