Implementation – New Web Design
There is a must read book for those seeking more time for you. Read the 4-Hour Workweek, authored by Tim Ferris. Tim wouldn’t be impressed with my results, as I am still working as many hours as I used to. But I am far more productive and effective after reading it.
So what takeaway did I learn from the book? The wonderful world of freelancers. Freelancers can design projects that you’ve always wanted to do, but lack the time and the expertise. There are tons of resources worldwide and just a click away.
So here is what I learned. I found that WordPress could not only handle our blog – but could host our web site as well. Basically a 2 for 1 exchange, I like those returns.
Now here is where freelancers kick in. I had no idea how the new platform worked. I had no idea how plug ins worked. I had no idea how to take my brand new web design and load it on to the new platform. What I found and what I learned is I didn’t need to know it all; I just needed to know what I wanted. Then I could ask a freelancer to help me.
So now I was dealing with programmers and experts in India, Buffalo and Denver. They were doing in days – tasks which would take me months – not to mention the reduced stress and frustration. I finally had found more time for me.

I found out when I posted my project to get the revised web site up and running that Word Press was an option. I also found a freelancer that was up to the task of moving my temp site to the new platform. Ben handled all of the details and even agreed to make the updates after 11:00 pm on a Friday when web activity is slow.
Lesson’s Learned.
Get familiar with as many helpful resources as you can. They will open up new paths to exciting places.
