iPad Glitch

You like your iPad, and so far everything was great but...
"My iPad is frozen with the iCloud backup message. And I can't get the window to close or do anything else".

What should you do?

Maybe you should try the restart your device?
To do that you need to:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least few seconds (ignore the red "power off" slider), after which the Apple logo should appear on the screen.

More information you can find on Apple support website

1 Day = 1 Photo Project

Just recently I watched few youtube videos: hundreds if not thousands photos turned into a movies. I know it's not a new idea but I think it's interesting. You can record your life (or at least part of it) by taking 1 photo per day and after few years create a movie = your life project. Here are some youtube videos:

"21 Years"

"Zach guy"

"Noah takes a photo of himself every day for 12.5 years"

Every Day - New Lesson

I believe that every day can bring something I learn and just recently I attended a teleseminar by Mari Smith and Anne McKevitt and they covered 4 most important parts of starting a business process. Here is what Mari Smith sent (summary) to all of participants:

"1. Start with a solid FOUNDATION for your business, your personal space (think "money making engine room" for your office!), productivity, and social media success. Make sure you know your *why.*

2. Then BUILD from there in all areas: your systems, daily habits, maintaining consistency, having strategic intent in all that you do, and having total clarity on exactly *what* you're building.

3. Next, ramp up and focus on GROWTH - what's working well in your business, your social media, your daily productivity habits? How big do you want to go? (Anne shared why so many entrepreneurs get stuck in constant Build mode instead of getting into Growth mode).

4. Finally, it's time to SCALE. Here's where you build teams, delegate, and outsource... you must get this piece in place in order to build a sizable business or brand."

It was great to listen about those business foundations!

Photoshop again...

....on my way to Photoshop class - I'm excited.
I hope you don't have that kind of attitude today? :)

All I Need Today Is...

Don't worry...be happy

Stephen Petronio Company

What a great surprise I had last night at Del Webb Center for the Performing Arts, Wickenburg, Arizona. Stephen Petronio Company did incredible performance and if that's not enough we had a chance to watched the PREMIERE of the work in progress "Like Lazarus Did." And if you think that all - guess what - it's not. Why? Stephen Petronio himself shared few thoughts regarding the new project. What a treat!

Hobby

Do you have time for any hobby in your life? People are busy, running errands, doing things, working but how about your hobbies? Do you have time to relax, enjoy some quality-time?
...or maybe you are so tried that all you want to think about is just to get some sleep and that's it?
