Another iteration of my origin story
Just in case you accidentally found yourself here, this is simply an attempt to write out some kind of “origin story” as all the internet marketing gurus suggest it and I have some sense of the purpose of it. So this is about the fifth attempt to refine it and at some point discover what may be useful in communicating with an audience that may be receptive. I am a 70-year-old who has been in business for myself most of my life. After getting licensed as an electrical contractor in 1976, I went into that business. Then expanded into telephone systems, then process improvement software, then websites, e-commerce tools, then

A year of Covid and internet learning
March 10, 2021. Almost a year since Covid affected us directly. The effect on us was much, much less than on many people, but it still has been a journey. For the most part, after we unexpectedly left our sailboat in Virginia, I have been investigating how to expand my business coaching and consulting business in the online world. I plan to make some installments here which may be helpful to some people. They may even save some people many many hours and potentially thousands of dollars. I am using sociamonials to post this Briefly, I am 70 years old, have been in business for myself for over 40 years,
Another “who am I” for Rich Schefren
I am a 70-year-old who has been in business for myself most of my life. After getting licenced as an electrical contractor in 1976, I went into that business. Then expanded into telephone systems, then process improvement software, then websites, e-commerce tools, then business consulting. I “mostly retired” sometime around 2010, I stopped looking for work but kept a couple of clients and helped with business coaching and internet marketing. In 2020 our sailing trip from the Gulf of Mexico to Nova Scotia was interrupted by Covid. With a lot of time on my hands, I started investigating how I could offer over 40 years of successful business experience to
You can please some of the people all of the time
You can please some of the people all of the time Don WinchellJust now·4 min read So back to the effort of documenting the journey. The “gurus”, experts, wanna-be experts, and so on all seem to agree that this diary thing will contribute to success, so I am pushing on with it. Someone said something like: you can please all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time. Regardless of who said it and if it is 100% true or not, it is pretty obvious that the sentiment is that no matter what you do everyone won’t approve, Jimi Hendrix said it

The fallacy, misunderstanding or misuse of the instruction to “Burn the Boats” Don WinchellJust now·2 min read This is something you will hear a lot about on the get-rich-quick and even the get-rich-slower circuit. The basic storyline is attributed to everyone from Captain Hernán Cortés to Julias Ceasar to Sun Tzu, the mythical author of the Art of War. The idea is that if you want to accomplish something you must leave yourself no way out, do or die, all or nothing. In the various stories, some general or conquerer is going to take an island or a nation and they get to the

70-year old goes crazy!
A short story. In May of 2020 Covid19 persuaded us to interrupt our sailing trip from The Gulf of Mexico to Nova Scotia. With a lot of unexpected time on my hands, I decided to get back into business. As I just turned 70 years old recently, I might be crazy!So just a bit about me as an introduction.

Many websites you find in searches are found because of deceptive SEO practices. Generally, deceptive SEO practices point to deceptive websites. There are two fundamental ways that websites are found in searches: Organic searches – there is no paid advertising involved and Google and other search engine magic formulas (algorithms) deliver some sites to you based on the search terms you typed in. This is highly dependent on how well the content of pages on the site aligns with the terms you entered but to
