Historical Context Below

We may continue some of our blog here, and we’re keeping the old blogs up for awhile.

If you need a sounding board, we can help.

When I had my company, I cherished the other business owners I could call on to review strategies, discuss personnel issues, and identify new business opportunities. Having a sounding board for advice or just to talk out loud with someone knowledgeable in business helped me build my company.

Today we help mentor other business owners.  If you need someone, we’re here. We can…

• listen to your ideas,
• discuss both sides of an issue or opportunity, and
• organize your goals, tasks, and plans in a clear outline for easy reference.

Plus we can help you stay focused and accountable to your dreams by adding in our experience to help improve your business model.

What to expect

You can expect to shave off years of struggle and gain knowledge it’s taken us years to accumulate. Our post reflect our experience like the one on How to communicate better. It shows the years of blood, sweat, and tears slimmed down to one blog post.

We attended the 2019 WichiTalks at Roxy’s Downtown presented by our local Public Radio Station KMUW. 

The presentation guidelines for WichiTalks followed the Pecha-Kucha (Japanese for “chit-chat”) format because it works.  

The flaw of most presenters is they give their audiences too much information to digest which weakens their  message. This leaves the audience unmoved to action since they do not know what you want them to do — this or that?

The next time you need to build a slide presentation, check out our Pecha-Kucha blog. Also remember the rule of 3s — three messages that support one call to action in your presentation.

Note that KMUW's WichiTalks reduced their presentation guidelines to 5-minutes with 20-slides auto-advancing at 15-seconds each instead of the original 20-seconds.

How our business site started

After spending two years of experimenting with blog posts, I knew I needed professional help. By that time I had spent over three decades helping people achieve success in their businesses.

We focused on

• improving sales and managing expenses,
• marketing for short and long term goals, and
• identifying best practices to reach their audiences.  

By 2009 so much had changed. The digital age of the internet had established itself and I wanted to remain relevant as a communicator and marketer.

I remember when AOL got us communicating between the different email internet services! I still have my original AOL address.

The Wild West of Social Media

I experienced the digital age’s early years — and it was confusing. Too many experts recommended, advised, and predicted different scenarios for websites and the new social media platforms. The future looked blurry.

To succeed, I needed a better guide on how to take our marketing and business development efforts into the future to keep improving our results.

Help came with Quinnipiac University. In 2012 I completed my Master of Science Degree in Interactive Communications. My iMentor4Success website became a part of my studies in social media. I moved my blog from a free hosting site that I started in 2007 to it’s own domain using WordPress in 2010.

Why iMentor4Success?

My ability to help people succeed became the basis for this site. That’s what I do.

It is our intention to create original content and share found information on this site that helps you succeed.  This site also serves as a way for us to stay current in building and managing websites.

Today

In January of 2018 I rebuilt iMentor4Success because of the “light years” in technology advancement and to remove the outdated posts. For my favorite past blogs, they will be updated and reposted.
To simplify my life, I also shut down the website I built as my capstone project at school. It will auto-redirect visitors to this site. My favorite information I shared there, will also be incorporated into iMentor4Success here.

This time around, I recruited my daughter to join me in this venture. Her marketing director’s job keeps her busy — so right now, she just advises me. I rely upon her knowledge base often — especially for promoting client services and products through social media. She does it daily.
