Ramit.

Being new to VA, and the economy being what it is, I am not currently employed outside the home. So what am I doing? Tonight, I watched Ramit Sethi from iwillteachyoutoberich.com talk about earning $1k on the side. Considering I would like to be able to make some money from home, I learned quite a bit from this webcast. I never considered it before, but the psychology of it all is really interesting. Consider this: if you're offering a service, in order to sell it, how do you do it? Especially someone like me, who didn't do one shred of business or marketing in college. Answer: you get inside their heads. "Their" being customers. So let's take photos. You know I like to dabble in photography. I'm learning Photoshop, and I'm taking lots of pictures and have a few Scott Kelby books. If I want to make a business out of selling my services as a photographer, what do I need to do? I need to get inside peoples' heads. What do they want? When I have that information, then I provide the service.

It's not rocket science. We'll see how I do with my possible ideas. Stay tuned. And Ramit, nice job tonight. You are really cocky, but if you weren't, it just wouldn't work.

Welcome One, Welcome All.

For those of you who are new, hello! So am I. Not new to blogging, but new to this blog. Previously, I had a blog while I lived in Sarajevo, Bosnia & Herzegovina, but now I have moved to Virginia, so this is my new blog. Primarily, this site will be to keep my peeps up to date on life in the Shenandoah Valley, and it may ebb and flow to include this and that. I just don't know what my fingers have in store for me or you. You can expect pictures, as living near mountains will make me click click click. Come along for the view!
