17 Things Successful People Do

I came across this infograph and found it pretty darn interesting to say the least. The original article that this infograph is tied to is titled: “17 Counterintuitive Things the Most Successful People Do” by CEO of Docstoc, Jason Nazar. As you continue reading the information below, you’ll find things that you may not agree [...]

Time Management: What Have I Changed

Time is all we have. We may find one day that you will have less than you once did. Time management all around is important. Family is also very important but to be successful most of us don’t fall out of our mother’s womb with a top hat and a cain while we laugh it [...]

How to Set Up A Branded Email Address Using Outlook.com

How to set up a branded email address using Outlook.com is just as simple as setting it up in Google Apps or Gmail.

Google Apps Free No More

Yup, like a couple weeks late to the party on this one but it is something that I talked about in earlier posts on ways to set up a branded email address with Google. Not a surprise that Google decided to go to a “premium” model with this platform where you can get a custom [...]

I came across this infograph and found it pretty darn interesting to say the least. The original article that this infograph is tied to is titled: “17 Counterintuitive Things the Most Successful People Do” by CEO of Docstoc, Jason Nazar.

As you continue reading the information below, you’ll find things that you may not agree with and then maybe some things that you will. I would say, print this off and hang it up somewhere. I feel some of these points are valid but it also takes a disciplined person to achieve a few of these items below. Depending on your demeanor and how you communicate with people, you could go in the wrong direction with the approach. As with anything, opinions are a dime a dozen. You need to find what method works best for you because when you feel one way is the only way to go about a task, someone will come along and prove you wrong. Read more »

Time Management: What Have I Changed

February 27th, 2013

Michael G. Stults

Time is all we have. We may find one day that you will have less than you once did. Time management all around is important. Family is also very important but to be successful most of us don’t fall out of our mother’s womb with a top hat and a cain while we laugh it all the way to the bank. There truly is a level of hard work dedicated to making that happen. Is it true that others have more of a “Midas Touch” than you? Sure.. I’ll give you that one. I recall earlier in my working life at HSBC and there were guys that could make minimal calls but always were able to pull out big numbers for their sales that month. On the other hand… I was pounding the phone like the world was ending tomorrow but only to see not the same results. What I quickly figured out was that I had to work smarter and “cherry pick” the customers I knew we could convert. It was only when I FULLY knew the in’s & outs of our products that I quickly adapted to consistently hitting higher sales. So the moral hear… you can be a copy cat… just copy the right KAT!

How to Set Up A Branded Email Address Using Outlook.com

December 28th, 2012

Michael G. Stults

How to set up a branded email address using Outlook.com is just as simple as setting it up in Google Apps or Gmail. Now, on the other hand, doomsday did happen to the Free Google Apps setup this December. A lot of you are asking what your alternatives may be and Outlook.com is another solution that is upcoming. Microsoft has certainly stepped up their game albeit they may be slacking in other areas at times. Coupled with email, you can also test drive Microsoft’s free SkyDrive (like Google docs) which gives you more than 7GB of storage. Google Docs only gives you 5GB of storage. Sounds good to me!

Looking for a Professional Email Address?

Outlook.com

First off, somename@outlook.com doesn’t appear to bad if you can get in early and reserve your account. Just the name “outlook” sounds good because of the branding history. Having your business name as part of your address is equally important for branding and adds that “sex appeal” to your community perspective. Smaller businesses and especially local business’s need to use every avenue to leverage the opportunity to showcase their brand in their communications.

You can set up a professional email address using your hosting companies built in solution but let’s face it… it is cumbersome and a very ugly interface with limited options. Gmail on the other hand is stellar when it comes to options. You always need more options right? Outlook.com will also get the job done on how to set up a branded email address. Read more »

Google Apps Free No More

December 21st, 2012

Michael G. Stults

Yup, like a couple weeks late to the party on this one but it is something that I talked about in earlier posts on ways to set up a branded email address with Google. Not a surprise that Google decided to go to a “premium” model with this platform where you can get a custom branded email account, calendar, documents, and etc with the process. All you had to do was point your DNS to Google and you used the normal “freemium” services that you use already with Google but all in a branded manner.

Not Free Google Apps

You can still use your free gmail account and use it to send/receive email using a custom email address though. You just can’t use Google Apps unless you pay $50/year if you have 10 or fewer employees at your company. You get a 25GB storage locker for your email (figuratively speaking…) and a guaranteed uptime.

Here’s the good news… if you’re already setup on Google Apps like myself or many of my clients, you’re safe – grandfathered in.

Please note this change has no impact on our existing customers, including those using the free version. And as before, Google Apps for Education will be available as a free service for schools and universities. Also, as the first cloud productivity suite with FISMA certification, we’ll continue to offer Google Apps for Government for $50 per user, per year.

He shared with me how he had developed this ebook and his interests in Affiliate Marketing along with other projects he is working on.
