"Twenty, thirty years ago, they were a product that had pricing power that was essential," said Buffett. "They have lost that essential nature." I agree that times have changed, but like most businesses, you must change with the times. Many newspapers put too much emphasis on selling newspapers. http://www.tagawaproducts.com http://www.tagawaproducts.com Sat, 2 May 2009 4:23:00 GMT Tagawa™ Products is a proud product of the Jason Dupin company.

You have to give each 100% at the moment or it seems to go poorly. So little time and so much to do. Sometimes finding help doesn't help at all. You have explain, teach, and end up helping them more than yourself. This isn't all the time, but seems to be case lately. I have four major web ventures in the works and thats on top of several freelance projects. Each one of them are solid and having a great chance of being successful. So its hard for me to put them to the side and focus on one of them. Which is funny, because in the long run, it will take me longer to launch them. What to do? http://www.jasondupin.com/blog.php http://www.jasondupin.com/blog.php Sun, 26 Apr 2009 1:20:00 GMT What will you sacrifice in order to succeed? Will you have a social life or a career? Both? You have to give somewhere. It's a give-take relationship for success. I'm finding out more and more, that life only punishes you more for pursuing your dreams. Negative? Nah, reality! But if life didn't come at you with all she's got, then everyone would be successful. How many people out there are actually doing what they love? ME! I'm not rich and considered by the government, a low income earner aka in the 1% of the population. Lets just say that I'm not driving a Mercedes. Hopefully, one of my ventures will take off and get me into the higher tax bracket. I hear they have all the cool parties. http://www.jasondupin.com/blog.php http://www.jasondupin.com/blog.php Sun, 26 Apr 2009 1:20:00 GMT Lately I have been burning the late night oil. I have so much stuff on my plate that I NEED TO COMPLETE. It's mostly my fault, but when the creative wave comes through, you ride that baby to the shore. But ultimately all this work is towards a better life. Tired of working for the man (corporate jobs). Here lately the word "corporate" has turn into an evil one. So flying solo has become even more attractive. This entry is very random and very unorganized. Lets just say that if you are tired, don't attempt to write anything intelligent. http://www.jasondupin.com/blog.php http://www.jasondupin.com/blog.php Sun, 26 Apr 2009 1:20:00 GMT If you didn't know, Wordpress is a powerful CMS that is completely free. It is simple to use and has a strong following of 3rd party applications. Several web designers are using Wordpress to develop their websites and are using Wordpress templates as well. However, many people are slightly modifying the supplied templates and claiming its their own creation. I think modifying a template is a short cut and ultimately hurting your skills as a web designer. It's basically taking a house someone else built and by adding new paint on the exterior to claim you built the house. Templates in general are the industry equivalent to cheap plastic products that cost 10¢ to create. All of my jobs are created from scratch. I create the navigation, the layout, the code, the graphics, etc. Say no to templates.
