What does a vision board look like?

Hi Everyone!
Recently I co-hosted a teleclass with a client of mine, Heidi Michaels. In the class I focused on converting our garage into an art studio for my ever-talented husband (http://www.lincolnhover.com/) and I was asked a few questions about my personal vision board.

The first question I asked myself is how famous would l like for my husband to be with his wonderful artistic talents? In the vision board teleclass we have the ability to browse 10million photos through http://www.clipart.com/ and I typed in the word "famous." Of course, about 3000 pictures came up relating to that word, but the one that caught my vision was the Golden Gate Bridge. I copied the royalty free image and pasted it on my vision board. I want my husband to be as famous as the Golden Gate Bridge!

There were other questions, like why in the world do I have a air conditioner posted on there or why did I put a picture of a father teaching his child to paint? I simply answered with, we need an air conditioner for the garage and I want my husband to teach our son to paint. This is the simple logic behind the laws of attraction. You have to start manifesting your visions so your wants will have the right direction to find you!

The vision board teleclass is also an incredible fun journey. We spent time learning about ourselves and also learning some new technology too.

I hope you enjoy looking at my vibrant vision board and that you'll join us for the next teleclass on July 22, 2009 7pm CST! Email me at misty@mistylinc.com for more information!



Cheers!

Attn: Life Coaches Out There!

Hi Everyone,
Many of our coaching clients have been offering the dreamboard creation series in their offices. It is a fantastic way to create goals for your future and focus in on what your heart and mind desire.

We've had a few inquiries about how to do a teleclass on dreamboard creation, so we have come up with the dream board teleclass details:

Most people who have been to a dreamboard creation class know that you spend a lot of time finding your pictures in magazine's and from various other places and then you spend time with the coach or moderator to help you design your dreamboard so it will use the laws of attraction to achieve your dreams, goals, and talents.

You may ask, how would doing a dreamboard teleclass benefit you and your life coaching business?
1. Your goal audience just expanded to be national and international.
2. You don't have to provide scissors to the participants.
3. You don't have to have a location rented or invite people to your office to participate.
4. And of course the cost of hosting such a party can be pricey.

We've all spent time in teleclasses and most of us know how to run a teleclass, so why not teleclass the dreamboard creation?

What does the teleclass cost and what are the processes involved?
1. You can host a teleclass with full digital technical support for $99, and that even includes the endless supply of online clipart for you and all of your teleclass participants.
2. The $99 fee includes:
a. Online clipart for all of the teleclass participants.
b. 15 minutes of on-line training from our design staff for all of the teleclass participants.
c. Meeting hosting for 2 hours so that all of you can view the instructors dreamboard, and your coaching instruction via audio and via your home office or office.

Warm Regards and Here's to Dreamboard Creation!

Welcome to the Internet

Hi Everyone!
I just wanted to send a note to congratulate my husband in putting his artwork on the internet, and of course wanted to brag a bit about him too! Maybe some of you are looking for that special piece of artwork for a special Christmas or birthday present. Why have a store bought look, when you can get the real deal!

Thanks everyone and enjoy your holiday season!!

Warmest regards,

Self Website Maintenance

Hello Everyone!
A common question among clients of ours is "Can I log in and change my own website content?" First let's start with YES you can and secondly let's talk about how this works. Paying a website developer (such as myself) can become very costly. If you need to change a sentence or two a website developer is going to charge you at least a 1/2 an hour of their time. If you have more extensive pages that need updated often, that could potentially run into a lot of money!

Our software allows you to log in, change whatever you would like with the content, and then publish it back to your own website, all by yourself! It also allows you to log in as often as you need or want to and at any time of any day. How does it work? It is called content management and what happens is it allows you to edit your live html documents, then publish them back to the same location they were before you edited them.

Our software also allows you to use a familiar format to edit your content. It is similar to a notepad format, or even blogger for a good example. It will allow you to add text, links, photos, even video, all of your own choice.

Now, your asking yourself how does this save me money? Because we charge $35/month for the content management, with all of the above featured benefits. You could easily spend that with your developer changing your content for you. So, what are you waiting for? Contact me today, call me direct at 515.229.4767 or email me at misty@mistylinc.com. Let's get started on your website today!

Self sufficient,
Misty

Best Widgets

Hello Everyone!

I have been pondering lately, what are the best widgets to get from companies who want your business? In the past I've done coasters and magnets and brochures, oh my, but in your opinion, what are the best goodies to receive? Are they pens; are they rulers; are they post it notes?

Please take the poll to the left and tell me, what goodies are worthy of creating and also if you have any ideas of great marketing goodies, please send me an email (misty@mistylinc.com) and tell me all about it!

Cheers!

Flash vs. HTML

Hello Everyone!
I have been asked in the past, do I create flash websites, and are they better then standard HTML? Well to answer that question, let's talk shop for a minute. What is Flash? Flash is a program made by (or bought out by) Adobe. It is part the Macromedia Suite, which is used to develop the really fancy websites you see out there today. Flash in my definition is a computerized flip book. When we were little kids, we'd make animations by creating a flip book: the same image, but doing different things on different pages, so that when you put them together and flip the edges it became animated. Just as Mr. Walt Disney did way back when... Flash does this electronically.

And although Flash is awesome for fade in and fade out words, and slideshows, I prefer standard HTML. Why? Because Flash can sometimes take a long time to load and I don't think your customers will want to wait around to see what's in store, even if it's only for 15 seconds, they won't be willing to wait. That's probably my biggest hesitation for not using Flash, of course that is just my humble opinion.

Standard HTML is what my site is built on (www.mistylinc.com), it's simple tables and rows, and some fancy placement coding, but just simple HTML. There are various (too many) types of HTML, such as Dynamic, Static, XHTML, etc... They all have their disadvantages and advantages. They are all useful in their own way.

I hope this was somewhat helpful to all of you out there!

Happy Building,
Misty
