Steve DeVane: Moving day for the blog

http://stevedevane.blogspot.com/2009/04/moving-day-for-blog.html

Tuesday, April 14, 2009. Moving day for the blog. Just wanted to let everyone know that the blog has moved to a new server. And to share a lesson I learned along the way. The blog is now located at stevedevane.com. That address was previously forwarded to this blog, but is now located on a separate server. Please adjust your bookmark or feed reader accordingly. The move was not as simple or as easy. That’s what happened to me over and over. But I knew that moving the blog made good business sense. Temper...

Steve DeVane: August 2008

http://stevedevane.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html

Saturday, August 30, 2008. Focus like an Olympian. As I was watching the Olympics. Recently, I was thinking about how all the athletes had sacrificed much to make it to the Games. That type of singular focus is admirable. I couldn’t help but think how each of them had discovered the sport they loved and worked at it until they became great at it. It also reminded me of how important it is to have focus in our network marketing business. Once you’ve got it under control, then you can try another. For one,...

Steve DeVane: September 2008

http://stevedevane.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html

Tuesday, September 30, 2008. Sometimes “No” is the best answer. Even minor victories make a difference. Today, I walked into the gym just as my daughter’s volleyball game was about to get started. There weren’t many people there so I was making my way up the bleachers when I noticed the referee pointing at me. Turns out they needed someone to be a line judge. Here’s my problem. I drove about 35 miles to watch my daughter play volleyball. I couldn’t pay attention to her if I was judging the lines. I&#8217...

Steve DeVane: July 2008

http://stevedevane.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html

Thursday, July 31, 2008. When I worked at a newspaper about 15 years ago, I interviewed a group of ROTC. Cadets who were going through Advance Camp at Fort Bragg. The cadets’ performance during camp could help determine whether their Army careers started well. The cadets were in between their junior and senior years of college. After graduation, they would get their commissions. One of the cadets had been in the Army before as an enlisted man. He’d come out of college an officer. Learn skills and use them.

Steve DeVane: June 2008

http://stevedevane.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html

Friday, June 27, 2008. Finding the keys to life. The other day I got out my keys to unlock the door at my office. While looking for the key to the door, I noticed an old GM car key. I don't remember where I got that key. I suppose it went to one of our old cars. I have no idea which one. Why is it still on my key ring. Perhaps at some time it held some special meaning to me. But if it did, I don't have a clue what it was. Seeing the unknown key, made me take a closer look. The keyless entry deal doesn't ...

Steve DeVane: December 2008

Wednesday, December 24, 2008. What to give the person who has everything. If you’re still searching for a gift for the person who has everything, here’s a great way to honor them and help people who have almost nothing. During this season of giving Tony Cartledge reminds us. Of those who are most in need. He suggests giving a living gift that will help them survive by going to Heifer International’s website. Where you can check out a gift catalog. For calling Cartledge’s blog to our attention.). It seems...

Steve DeVane: February 2009

http://stevedevane.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html

Saturday, February 28, 2009. The frustration of procrastination. I’ve been finishing a major project. Over the last week or so. I’ll be writing more about it in future posts, but first I thought I’d share a lesson learned. During the early and middle stages of the effort, there were a number of times, I thought about details that needed to be done. I kept telling myself that I’d do them later. I thought it’d be easier to work on them all at the same time during the final phase of the project. In answer t...

Steve DeVane: March 2009

http://stevedevane.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html

Monday, March 30, 2009. While taking a walk along the beach. The other day with my wife and son, we noticed a fellow surfing in the Atlantic Ocean. I spent the first few minutes watching the guy thinking about how cold he must have been. Water temperature in the area averages about 55 degrees in March. But the more I watched, I noticed the way the surfer would time his attempts. To ride waves. As a suitable wave approached, he’d paddle with the wave before standing up and trying to ride it. With my famil...

Steve DeVane: May 2008

http://stevedevane.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html

Friday, May 30, 2008. There's an adage that says, "When you change the way you look at things. The things you look at change.". The other day, I was looking for a notepad. On my desk. I needed it to write down some information that I wanted to be sure to remember later. My desk can get kind of messy. OK, it can get very messy. Stuff was piled all over the place. I looked and looked. I moved some piles around. Looked under other piles. Nothing. I'm thinking of another number. Figured it out yet? We might ...
