Are you thinking about going into business for yourself but you don't know what to call the business or how to market it? Does the idea of creating a company image leave you with a sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach and a blank piece of paper?

I have to tell you ...the pop-ups are real annoying.
I don't know about anyone else, but I retreat very quickly when they appear.

Best Wishes!

Rest assured, the pop-ups are temporary. The site is under construction and the pop-ups will be gone soon.

Beth;)
 
I figured you to be too smart for pop-ups.

Free server space has it's place but not at the cost of pop-ups.
Besides, one small ad can pay for the monthly fee.


Best Wishes!

Well, it would never have been an issue if my enthusiasm had not gotten the best of me and restraint had kept me from announcing it just a little bit longer. I was going to wait until it was all done... oh well. They'll be gone soon enough.

I promise to lose them. :)

nice job Beth .... As soon as you get rid of those "pop ups" I'll be back ............
 
It's nice that you're giving someone else a break and offering yourself for us to pick on. Great diversion.

My masonry partner has a lot of enthusiasm like you. He stokes the fire on the train and I operate the brakes - the combination helps us get there fast and keeps us on the tracks.

I don't have the same luxury in my other ventures, but I do go at them a bit slower - it's a part of settling in the conservative mid-west. I also love the deep south - I used the Keys as a base for my engineering consulting for several years. It kept me sane between the east-coast /west-coast pace. I do enjoy the southern pace best on vacations (no offense to our southern friends).

Regards,
 
...glad to be a diversion.... :)
Rod has learned over the years to take my enthusiasm in stride. Of course he's a pretty laid back guy most of the time.

All relationships need a good balance to keep the water from going over the edge.

I keep my better half on her toes and she keeps me in line - I have the lumps and bruises to show. I usually take my daily mischief with two lumps.

I don’t like pop up, but it would not keep me from looking. I hate cookie that retrieve your e-mail and other info. I certainly would visit Beths site if I needed anything. She certainly has done a great Job giving back to the industry.

If I was afraid to click on a pop up or two I would never have seen half the stuff I have seen on the web. I guess I accept it as part of browsing.

Great Job Beth, if I ever need anything you got I would call.
 
Paul, I like your take on Florida, etc. I am one of those frenetic type A guys (despite being an engineer). I drive my wife nuts with all my new ideas, etc. I have learned to not tell her what I am up to until I have everything wired and know that going ahead is the way to go - being an accountant, she tend to be soooo conservative. Case in point, I am proceeding towards buying a related business here. Been working on this for a few weeks, but waited until last night to tell her - by that time I had all the answers to the questions I knew she would ask. Her approach to life complements mine very well.

Turns out Florida is the only place I can actually relax. Gulf side is best for me. Hit the Keys once, and it was also great.
 
Beth,
Your site is looking as good as usual. How lazy are we getting?? Pop ups even though they can be annoying, all anyone has to do is x them out. I don't even give them a chance to open.

Don't let anyone rain on your parade. Keep up the enthusiasm. Its where great Idea's come from. If down the road you get rid of the pop ups then more power to you. Thanks on letting us see the early stages of your new Idea's.
 
John,

It's not about liking or not liking Beth (that's not an issue). No one is putting Beth down. :rolleyes:

Being lazy with pop-ups is not an issue either. They are time consuming, unfriendly and distracting from the site's primary purpose. It's an issue you may not but Beth definitely does understands.

I think you're overlooking the subject based on your personal feelings about a person (don't get locked into "Tunnel Vision") and make sure you read posts carefully.

Paul B,
I understand completely about the points that you made and Beth agreed about the Pop ups. Nobody really likes them. Just like commercials on TV(Except for maybe the Beer Commercials because of there humor). Maybe this is PART of the reason why Cable TV does so well because of the limited commercials.

Don't take this personally what I'm about to say because I'm not looking for an argument and I do enjoy reading your posts. You get an A in my book for your posts. I looked at your posts to Beth initial Post about her new site as you were just trying to find something negative about it(Pop ups) without ever at least complementing her on the nice job she did with this site. (Kind of like when one buys a new car and then show's a friend and that friend looks for whats wrong with it such as a "where did that scratch come from" without ever complimenting the person on how nice there car is).

Now after your 1st post, Beth has to explain to you why she posted this so soon.

Like I said Pau B. Don't take this personally its just that I have a real close family member that is like this(Father) who I am close to but this certain characteristic trate that he has drives my sisters and I nuts at times. I would like to add that my Dad is a great guy. So like I said this is the reason why I react like this at times and it has nothing to do with you. If you felt like I was targeting you then I take it back. Whoever does the editing here can erase my response.
 
Gee... I didn't mean to start anything you guys. And I didn't take offense to anything any of you has said. Really...it's all good. :)

Beth
 
Beth,
Always starting somekind of a conflict ...you, you ...trouble maker.


John,
You're correct - my reputation proceeds me - that's why I'm called "Mean Papa". I don't make a habit of patting people on the back when I don't mean it or when I don't think they deserve it.

Unfortunately, (and honestly) I never got past the pop-ups to really look at her web site and commented on the only thing I remembered from it. I didn't go looking for it - it came popping up every time I tried to get away from it.

Since Beth provides professional web site design service for a fee, I thought scrutiny may have more value than a pep cheer. If she was six years old and in need of reassurance, it would be a different story. I try to make a habit of providing positive input with any of my negative comments (I think there was one burried in there somewhere).

You and I are opposites on the social styles scale - while I tend to be an Analytical/Driver your style is more of an Amiable/Expressive. While neither are good or bad, we're just different. It is nice to be different!

And... I'm pretty sure Beth will have a decent web site when she's done. If not, she'll be the first to know (she won't be able to out run her own scrutiny).

Paul B,
My wife I think went to the same seminar that U did about personalities in the work place. This was for Management only. Since you are a business owner and my wife was in the management end of a large company that must make me the worker who was not invited to this seminar.:D

Seriously you point is direct and it makes a Perfect sense. Just different personalities. I can't add anything else. Thanks for being so clear and to the point.
 
John,

The Wilson Learning seminar on Leadership included the study on Social Styles. The Social Styles portion was interesting and it was a different twist on some other things I've studied. The other portions on problem solving, coaching were a refresher for me. If your wife has the books you may find it interesting reading as it not only helps you in business (including P/W) but it does apply all around.

In business, you learn to manipulate your styles based on the roles that you may be in or when dealing with different personalities. Outside of work, it can do the same things on a personal level. It also helps to understand why you do certain things and helps to get you toward the center if your at any extreme corner.

I go to a couple seminars every year, be it new or a refresher as you meet different people from all aspects of life and business. It provides an avenue to trade experiences, methods and just to see how the other half is dealing with issues.
