We'll get you the technology, people and processes you need for your objectives

EfficiTrends seeks to be your personal and extremely knowledgeable concierge for your journey, whatever it might be.

"We'll get you the technology, people and processes you need for your objectives."  Everyone struggles with one or more parts of this equation.  Let's try to further understand the various parts of this and how I and people like me can help you with your project, whatever it might be.

A) "We'll ..."  (Who we are).  We are EfficiTrends.  We are a consulting group.  We help people and businesses become more effective at achieving their goals.  We are a small but growing team of free-thinking, creative, experienced professionals who can help people of many walks get things done.

B)  "We'll get you the ..." (Service delivery method).  Our service is fast, collaborative, and proactive.  We try to anticipate your needs before you have them.  We go into our networks, experience, and knowledge base to get you the stuff you need for your objectives.  We are very aggressive at identifying and acquiring the stuff you need to be successful.  We bring this valuable stuff to you, whatever it might be.

C) "We'll get you the technology ..."  Technology is a key, core part of the EfficiTrends business.  We live and breathe technology and believe that it can and will have a very positive affect on your lives, those of your customers, and staff.  We are advocates of technology but do not only run from that perspective.  Hence:

D)  "We'll get you the technology, people ..."  Sometimes technology isn't enough and we need to bring in people and subject matter experts to support the technology purchase decision or dialog.  Our people will help you become more comfortable with your situation, whatever it might be and get you through the change curve required.

E)  "We'll get you the technology, people, and processes ..."  Processes are all about value.  They're about sustainability.  Whether these processes are thought processes or business processes, we want you to have them because they are valuable and measurable.

F) "We'll get you the technology, people, and processes you ..."  (The customer).  Our customers are a huge part of our service offering.  They're everything, in fact!  Without you, we wouldn't be here and we do everything possible to keep you engaged and driving the dialog.

G)  "We'll get you the technology, people, and processes you need for your objectives."  Your objectives can be hard to nail down.  Sometimes they're completely obvious and transparent like "I need a car to pick me up at my house located at 4834 Elm Street in Seattle on June 5, 2012 at 8 AM PST."  But even then that could have some gaps in it.  What kind of car?  Where is the car going to?  How much gas is needed in the tank?  Do you have any special needs?  EfficiTrends is excellent at analysis of all kinds from data to requirements to business process.  We look deep into you and your business to understand the opportunities that are lying within and beneath.

EfficiTrends will get you the technology, people, and processes you need for your objectives.  What are your objectives and how can we help you today?

My audience and what I'm best at. Setting goals.

What I really want to do is to help other people sell.  I want to be a sales and marketing coach.  I want to help people to deliver exactly what they say they will through motivation and the right systems and processes, methods and means.

I feel like I can best accomplish this by working with consulting firms who sell technology because that's what I do and have been doing for so many years.

I'm good at technology and changing organizations and it's what I do best.  I want to help other people and organizations do the same and I want to do it in a very public way.

I can influence other companies to follow my lead and do what I do or what I recommend doing.  I want to lead and coach and influence others through my intelligence and ability to create results and spread the word about the good that I'm doing and the influence that I'm having.

It's probably a tall order but it's what I want to do.

How I’m Going to Change the World

Two ways:
Through consulting with businesses and organizations and having an hourly wage or retainer from them as a "worker" or resource to them.
Through making software products or creative processes/systems for companies or for myself that I monetize somehow.
All while having fun.

My Business Areas of Focus for 2010

I'm going to focus on four main (business related) things in 2010:

1.  Network
I'll network because I have to meet new people and develop a support system of people who know me and what I am doing as well as what my needs are. I am going to do this during the days.

2.  Engineer and Build products in my free time and work with people online
I'll engineer and build new products in my free time because I have to. I want to develop my skills and I want to create new products and services. I want to stay current on the new technologies and be a builder. I want to run the risk / opportunity of making something that is cool, will grow, and is a business. I want to get traffic and make a buck. I won't do much in my free time that is not for business (besides the necessary R&D required to accomplish business objectives).

3.  Make personal income
I'll make personal income and keep a day job. I am going to work for someone. Networking and doing well at my day job will help me accomplish this. My side projects will hopefully help me be good at what I do during the day. Whether I am a 1099 contractor, a W2 employee, a consultant, contractor, or employee, I am going to do well.

4.  Volunteer
I'll volunteer and work on some things for free. Not out of the "kindness of my heart" but out of the desire to learn and connect with people. If I offer things for free, I will learn, I will feel good and I will develop a more flourishing network.

In addition to this stuff, I'll exercise, hang with friends, watch my budget, have fun, read, be outdoors, travel some, relax, spend time with family, and enjoy myself.

That's the plan! Let's get it on.
