Here is something you may not need to know about me and may fall under TMI… I think I am a bit OCD. Especially when it comes to my royal elastic sneakers. I have a special set of drawers from ikea that has in it 12 pairs of royal elastics.
You will rarely see me wear the same pair two days in a row, and when they are put back in the drawers they have to be put in in a certain way and in the correct spot. On the other side of the room is my clothes drawers. I have many tshirts… but they are all black v neck country road tshirts… so i don’t have to make decisions regarding what shirt will i wear.. i just know. Same goes for socks, underwear and anything else to do with getting dressed in the morning. My only decision is which shoes to wear, and that is predetermined byt what shoes have i worn.
So it comes as a surprise to me after a quick audit of my online collection of properties including blogs, opt in sites, websites, etc that there seems to be a little bit of overlap and confusion amongst them… why? Because I have not done for myself what I do for my clients. I have not thought about the big plan in terms of what we are out to achieve.
The biggest enemy to great success, is a little bit of success, and after a few hard years, being able to indulge my sneaker fetish and pay our bills easily feels successful (as does being able to buy new socks every few weeks… mmmm new socks). Don’t get me wrong, what we have works, but I started wondering about the place of certain sites, especially this one, what is it that I am trying to achieve here?
So it is with a new plan in hand that I think I have found the answer. so here goes:
- If you want to know about our service based company that can build you an awesome web presence and consult with you on how to get the most out of it, that happens @ redd.com.au (new site being launched on April 30)
- If you want to find out about my speaking/events/or my internet/technology blog, that happens @ clickhererevolution.com (launching 12 April)
- If you want to listen to me ramble on about any old thing… that happens here!
I hope that is OK with you. It is important to me that I have a place where I can share my thoughts about the journey I am on, and how it is either all coming together or all turning to crap, without thinking, “But these people like to read about interwebs stuff”.
I feel a little more comfortable with this and am happy that things are in a bit better order, next step is to get the labeller and label the sections of the book shelf.
Have an awesome week.

Totally know what you mean. It seems that we go through the web strategy, design or marketing planning process so well with our customers and then forget to apply them to ourselves. We are just about to develop some new sites for our own products and are going to be doing that very thing…treating ourselves as the client. Good luck with the clean up.
