Sista's Common Sense Corner

Sista's Common Sense Corner
is anything but common.

This was a project from the heart, from the very beginning. What these ladies are attempting to do (and in our estimation - will do) is bring a more tactile touch to the Internet. What's absolutely striking about these two women other than their beauty is: one, they radiate an outer beauty and inner strength immediately upon meeting them. Second, they are fun-loving, but serious professional women on a mission to help all women deal with and overcome the fear, doubt and isolation many feel when they believe their situation is unique and they are all alone in it. Wrong. Sista's Common Sense Corner to the rescue!

The Sista's want every woman to know, regardless of age, education, social standing, race, creed, color ad nauseam that all women share a unique and distinct "sisterhood" that transcends the aforementioned list. Most notably, they are filled with the passion to succeed. We were lucky an fortunate to get these clients. Here's a little more on Charlotte Hill and Dial Hill. (No relation)

Charlotte is a single mother of three, and grandmother of one. She received her Masters in Business Administration in 2005. Her love for people, and heart after that of Christ led her to work for California Children’s Services. That is also the road which led to the meeting of Dail who is a single mother of two, and grandmother of four. Dail came to work with California Children’s Service in 2005 after several years in the mortgage industry. Charlotte and Dail bonded almost instantly, sharing not only their passion for helping others, but their love of the Lord.

What may not be entirely unique about their quest to help women on the web find advice from other women and professionals, is the fact that they have decided to monetize access to their forum. Smart. But it also keeps the not so serious away and opens up territory for some real dialogue.

By developing carefully designed scenarios placed in the forum the user is met with several conversations to engage in. The cool factor in this is that you're not limited to which conversation you can enter into. The cost is very reasonable, $5 a month or the even more ridiculous $45 for the year (save you 25%). There is no real barrier to finding common ground among the "Sistahood" online.

So Much In Common
Dail and Charlotte began early on to realize their connection was anything but accidental and through days of tears and fear, joys and laughter they knew what they had developed between them needed to be offered to women everywhere, from all walks of life, all creeds and colors.

"Throughout our sisterhood we have shared some of our deepest thoughts, feelings, and situations; at times the responses we got from one another wasn't what we “wanted to hear” but it was what we “needed to hear.” That is what has sealed them to be more than friends, but SISTA’S!

Sista’s Common Sense Corner is offered as an ear to hear what you may not have heard. To see that you’re not the only one “going through.” Perhaps you can offer “what needs to be heard” by another Sista. As they love to say: “Womanhood makes us Sista’s.”

Our Business Channel

Almost finished and I wish I had another week.

After spending what seems like forever on my computer I've finally gotten VAPATV.COM and VAPATV.NET where they need to be for the launch on Monday, which also happens to be Labor Day. Don't ask! At any rate I think we've got something special here and I sincerely hope all the visual and performing arts folk like it.

It's funny how you get all the talk about how difficult it is to do something and the minute you finally approach completion, those same folk are ready to jump on the band wagon. What is that?

Ah well. There is less than 48 hours until the launch and I haven't done nearly as much viral marketing as I should have. Who's gonna even know there's a new social network in town.

"Oh God, Oh God how weary, stale, and flat seem to me all the uses of this world!"

Here's wishing us luck on this. We'll have a nice little party to celebrate the birth. Web 1.0. Then we'll see what happens next. Will it grow organically? Web 2.0. Or will it just sit there? Oh man sometime it sucks to have a vision and not be able to see it complete. This things has got to work.

Okay, I done. It is, what it is...man I wish I had another week!

It's Been A While

Hey! Yep, I'm still alive. I know it's been a while but you can't believe how busy I've been. (But in a good way.) Well, here's the skinny. I retired last year and my wife and I opened our dream business. We now run a school for the visual and performing arts! Click here to see. And Boy it's a lot of work. So much for retiring.

Not one to keep idle hands, I've integrated my love for the Internet and all thing technological into the Institute - That's what we call it. "Laity Institute of the Arts." So in addition to running our slightly automated Internet Business and running our school we're now on task to launch a new media content sight dedicated to the visual and performing arts called VAPATV.COM This site will officially launch September 1, 2008. In addition, we though it would be an even better idea to create a social network around the new media website so we launched VAPATV.NET One week ago. Wow, this social network thing works.

You gotta love how technology gives you the ability to make things happen instantly. Well, almost instantly. So as you can see I've been a little busy. But I'm back with a years worth of anecdotes and observations on what works in business on and off line.

So stay tuned and Keep the Focus!

Mr. Jim

P.S. I'm gonna have to leave the font size normal from now on. Small is too difficult to read. I guess I'll have to write less but with more meaning. Go figure. This getting old stuff sucks!
