Now the alarm went off at 6:30am and I got up at 7:30am... not best pleased with myself however I am pretty fresh this morning and so feel that I will be quite productive today.
First things first the Barchester Reports for DeliverNet. Now these require me to first sort out all the Commodity codes which means sorting it in the stock system before passing it across into sales... the way this has been given to me is not great and it is going to take a lot longer than I have initially anticipated... I drop Ruth a quick QMS to explain the problem and she is ok... these should be done by the morning.
No I have to jot down the expanding ideas for our In2TheClouds - 7 Steps to the Business you really Want!! Steps 4 and 5, Internet Marketing and Outsourcing have just got mega interesting. I write up the ideas into two WPD files and email them over to Livia and to Otis... they need to read these and then we can start to implement the concepts. This is a slow burn but vital to the long term goals of what we are doing and so a good deal of effort and emphasis needs to be put into this to get it moving... I am targeting Livia and Otis to work on this together to ensure that it gets sorted in the next fews months, ready for when the book comes out and the Business model for rolling out the 7 steps starts to come to fruition.
We are working on the Revolution Telecoms data import today and Ian has rattled off the CMS upgrade to prevent duplicate Account References from being used. I have asked Revolution Telecoms if we could delay invoicing for a day or two to enable us to complete the Invoicing modifications but I have not had a reply today and so we press on with what we can do. Perhaps they are busy doing the invoices which is why they have not replied today?
Otis has met a lady from 4Networking who is involved with Video production so I spend 30 minutes talking to her about what might be relevant with this for us... we agree to wait until the book is out before exploring further. The Printer arrives late in the afternoon with the final samples for the artwork which is to be run off over the next couple of days. The colours look fine now and so the packaging for the Promotional Merchandising versions is nearing completion... just a few other bits and pieces to order now so that we can start to ship the first few hundred into this market!!
I wanted to catch up with Claire Raikes this evening to discuss modifications to the upcoming book title... I need to change this from Running a Business Online, to ... In2TheClouds... we registered the .com and the .co.uk domains today and we need to amend the artwork we have for the book to refelect this. Claire is tied up and we run out of time... looks like tomorrow afternoon now.
Table tennis practice this evening... not playing too bad... although difficult to see in the conditions at Ravenscroft (Barnet) but an enjoyable evening... it's a while since we have had a good practice and Friday is out this week as I will be in Hungary.
Back at Base continuing with the Barchester Reports, writing some Blog posts and finishing up some of the Thai food leftovers from the weekend with some freshly cooked rice... washed down with a bit of wine... very nice... Off to bed now... 12:00 midnight again... where do all the hours go?
