Public Domain – The Internet GoldmineWritten by Eric Wichman
With advent of internet and ease of which information can readily be downloaded and compiled you would think that more people would realize that public domain is a source of wonderful wealth that can be tapped into for huge profits.I have spent last 4 years “discovering” little known secrets of this information that is readily available to those who know where to look. Or should I say “prospect”. That’s exactly what it is. It’s Mining. When you mine internet, you are not mining little rocks in a quarry or dredging a cold river looking for that elusive nugget of gold. You are searching for gold of future, and of past. Information becomes your ore. You now become an information prospector. A “Millennium-Age Gold Miner.” The tools of your trade are much different today than in days of old. Your “pick-axe” has evolved into your mouse, and your “gold pan” is your hard drive. Your computer is dredge and your internet connection is your “claim”. In old days when a prospector found gold he would drive a stake in ground and this would become his claim. You are doing same thing when you sign contract for your internet connection. You are staking a claim to largest source of wealth in world. Public Domain Information. You transcend boundaries of physical world by entering a realm in which it is possible to find riches in deepest recesses and crevices of web. The public domain is undiscovered country of information age. It’s mysteries are deep as oceans and it’s knowledge as expansive as universe. The public domain now becomes ultimate natural resource. Information has always reigned king since beginning of time. There are millions of us who know not sheer power and value of information that is freely available to anyone who knows where to look.
| | Are You on Overload? Delegation is One KeyWritten by Dorene Lehavi
You probably know that delegating work to others is a great and appropriate way to save time, prioritize your own agenda and to focus on what you "should" be doing. However, knowing when and how to delegate well is key to being successful at it. First, what does it mean to delegate? Del-e-gate: to assign responsibility or authority (from http://www.m-w.com) Next, are you successful at delegating tasks in your life and work? If not, what gets in way of successful delegation? Here are a few common factors: *You have not taken time to analyze all you are doing and therefore do not have awareness of what you could delegate. *You are a control freak and feel need to do it all yourself. *You do not have confidence that anyone else could do it well enough. *You enjoy doing it and don’t want to give it up. *You may feel that you will not be able to justify time you have opened up for yourself. If you are having trouble getting past some of these, engage someone to help you. Following are 8 keys to successful delegation. 1-Take time to look at everything you are doing. Make a list not only of big projects, but break down small details, for example, phone calls that need to be made, research to be done, whatever it is. Indicate with check marks or other kinds of notes a) which of those could be done by someone else, b) what you’d like to get rid of if you could even if how is not obvious, c) things you really must or want to keep for yourself. 2-Identify likeliest person to do those tasks you want to delegate. Ascertain that they are capable and are not themselves on overload. 3-Even if you are their boss, engage them politely by asking if they are ok with it. Do they have time and resources to do it? If they are too burdened at moment, when will they be in a position to take it on? When you show respect for people they will be inclined to help out. Of course, as boss you have right to insist, but you’d be wise to do it with respect and appreciation. 4-Make sure person you choose is capable to do task successfully. If not, you are setting someone up to fail and yourself to be even more stressed.
