Vegans

My life has lead me to a vegan lifestyle.
Or as what I call it a natural respect for life lifestyle. I am eager to meet people who also practice a peaceful existence. If you have tips or advice please feel free to contact me.

Before you launch your website

Many professionals over look simple things. Being perfect has nothing to do with experience its has everything to do with absolutely nothing. Perfect is a myth. However being better is achievable.

Many millennials and transitionals in the startup world often assume their peers and or competition have the upper hand. I don’t know why we tend to think EVERYONE else is superior but its simply untrue. We all have areas that we can improve on. I wanted to share an example.

My friend Nora Oravecz a Hungarian blogger in Silicon Valley for the summer is trying to improve her English skills so she decided to seek out a public speaking class. She suggested I join her so I can polish my skills and meet other speakers. I was super excited! I asked her to forward the link so I can begin my research. After more than 15 minutes on the site my excitement began to wane. I could not find anyone actually giving a talk.

A common mistake that I do not want others to make.

This is a speaking class with packages ranging from $50 to $550 and not one bit of footage of anyone actually speaking or giving a talk was listed on the website? The class is reliable, reputable, and a great investment. However that was not conveyed with this slight over sight.
I am a bit stunned.

How do you expect to sell your service or brand without showing what your service or brand is?

The founder was not speaking. The staff was not speaking. I honestly would have accepted a 30 second snippet of a student speaking!
I would have felt more incline to enroll and engage.
But no such luck. It was a bunch of words. Which would have been great for a wordpress class. But not ideal for a class selling the ability to become a better public speaker.

#ThatTechGirl #TechTip

When launching your startup place a sample/reel/demo/or preview of your product or service ON your site. You can do this by creating a video, animation, or offer a beta test experience. Remember
“Showing is often better than telling”.

High Tech Golf and Drinks for Lunch?

At Eagle Driving range in Silicon Valley
At Eagle Driving range in Silicon Valley

Did you know that SoMa has an indoor driving range?
Our very own high tech driving range.
Yea neither did I!

I decided to stop by and check it out!

Have to say Eagle Club Indoor Golf is pretty freaking sweet!

I walked in unsure of what to expect and was greeted with the friendliest smile and warmest energy ever. Peter, who just moved back to the bay after being gone for 8 years, gave me a one on one tour of the facility while explaining the high tech simulations and data analytics of the stroke.

So it turns out that the StartUp mecca of the world, also known as SOMA, has an indoor driving range that host private parties and serves alcohol until 9 pm Monday through Friday. How did we miss this little gem.
It is so very Bay Area to take a break from work and walk over to the high tech driving range.

Whether you are an avid golfer, new to golf, don’t care about golf but care about a place open late that serves drinks, just want to go and be nosy, you thought golf was football, you own a Playstation, you are a tourist, you have seen a Nintendo Wii, you want to chill on your lunch, your cousin told you about it, or to host a meetup or team building event.
This is a perfect Tech spot for the #Startuplife!

If you discover you have a passion for golf beyond the occasional visit you can get tips from PGA tour pros like Rob Boldt and Courtney Burdick.

But let not aim to perfect your new found golf skills it may create a desire to go off and join the tour!
We still need you to create golf apps for those who can’t get to SOMA.

Inspiring on Instagram?

Hi There!

I am writing a book that shows the importance of not just social media but the direct affects of Instagram. I am on a hunt to find inspiring Instagram stories about interesting, inspiring people who are based on Instagram.
When I say “Instagram based” I am referring to those who found their voice, niche, fame, fortune, and/or audience on the Instagram platform.

If you have turned a hobby into a business, found truly love, booked a job, found a lost friend, made new friends, sold products, launched a product or project, kicked off a social good project then I want to hear from you!

Your interview can be which ever medium you prefer:

A. G+ Hangout interview
B. Phone call (Skype or actual call)
C. Written format (I can send you questions)
D. In person (if you are in Silicon Valley)

I would love to include your story in this project
The book is a friendly ebook (100 pages or less)

A Sunday #startup tip!
Branding is important and so is ease of use on cross platform mobile devices.
So avoid the underscore!
It is not clean #ux #ui

When selecting social media accounts do NOT include an underscore.
The underscore is for windows 95 files. Please let it stay there! It isn’t a part of your brand or logo. Think bigger! You would never see Coke or Pepsi pulling this rookie move!!

Tag someone to help their branding!

Popular Internet Meme to Sue Instagram?

image

Why would you sue Instagram? You are an INSTA-HIT! 
A popular meme has apparently been regrammed one too many times. Teen set to sue photo sharing site for $500 million dollars!!
What do you think?
She needs to seriously have a seat and build a career! One could one dream to be so famous! Famous for something that isn’t rude or offensive is spot on!

Should you seek to increase your wage?

#Tech #Tuesday tip for the #millennial #startup #entrepreneur

Wage, rates, and salary are often the goal of a worker. A person who may not achieve financial wealth. The Only thing that brings true wealth is Profit, not wages.

Wages are cool for those who do not want the responsibility of leadership. Which is 110% ok. However you must realize that you will be executing someone else’s dream, doing 99% of the work and earning a wage instead of sharing in the profits.
Stop trading your life for the “wage dream”
