Domain Addiction and a New Dream

Posted by: James Dalman | Comments (1)

I am not afraid to admit it – I am a domain junkie!  Every day I get new ideas and today was no exception.

There is a project I have been working on for some time and it has nothing to do with branding, design, websites or even technology.  It has to do with my dream of getting my Oldsmobile Delta 66 up and running and taking it on a road trip across Route 66.  Nobody knows about this … except for you.

So I bought a domain that will help me launch this dream and to keep people in the loop on the progress (and hopefully me accountable).  I’ll announce the domain name once I’ve had the opportunity to set it up.

Begin Your New Adventure

It’s time for you to begin your new journey or whatever it is you have wanted to start.

You don’t have to wait until a new year, go ahead and do it now.  Besides why put something off?  I know, maybe you have some these reasons:

…but I don’t have enough money to start a business
…but we need to plan better to have children
…but I need experience to get that job
…but I’m not sure how to help the needy
…but I can’t

No offense, it’s time to get off your “buts” because there is never a perfect time or circumstance to do something you are passionate about or want to do.  Your life continues to pass in front of your eyes and before long it will be too late.

Stop waiting and move forward. One step at a time is all you need.

Go ahead and mate like rabbits and grow your family.  Take a day off and make that business plan.  Get off the couch this Saturday and go serve the homeless.  Stay up late and build your marketable skills.  Just don’t sit there and talk the talk…walk the walk!

In most cases we have everything we need to begin and I bet you do too.  Now is the time.

Impart Your Wisdom. Share Your Experience.

Today was a blast as Cory Miller and I had the privilege of speaking to the web media students at the Francis Tuttle Technology Center in Oklahoma City.  We did a session called “Starting a Successful Freelance Design Business” and hit on many key points that will help any student or entrepreneur who is thinking about freelancing for their career.  We also had our friend Terrell Sanders tape the whole session and we will be making it available on DVD and audio once we complete the editing next week.

The best thing for me is that my goal and passion has always been giving back and investing in young people starting out on their career journey.  It is very rewarding to impart your wisdom (successes and failures) in the effort to help people from making the same mistakes you did.  I’d like to give a big thanks to Christy Whitfield who is the Web Design & Development Instructor who gave us the opportunity to share our wisdom.
