It is just about time to start getting ready for the week ahead.  Today I made some great progress with my business plans and starting to put into motion plans that I developed over the last couple of months.

I have re-read the 4HWW, and have developed a list of goals that I am striving for, and bringing the 20/80 to fruitration.  From these thoughts I have started yet another project, yeah I know it almost seems like I am diluting and creating more work, but I think that this project will turn out to be the “one”

For those that don’t know I am an Electrical Engineer by training.  Well, almost I still haven’t finished the paper work to get my P.Eng designation, but I still have a month before my self-imposed deadline.  I am going to start a training course for a very specific field in the electrical industry.  With this course I hope to both help myself by selling packages with it, and also bring more work into my employers coffers by recommending them for the studies.  This is a consulting task that I will end up doing, but I am not ready for the liabilty that this would entail.

Training Courses are the new Black

I have begun the task of the training course by writing a spec for preliminary research, the type of research that should allow me to discover what people are looking to know, and what types of questions they are asking.  This is a very important first step, as I don’t want to spend too many hours answering a question that only I have the interest in.

I have sent this spec to a few of the contacts that I have used in the past and depending on the response and costs I will either engage one of them or open it up to bidding on a freelance site.

From there I plan to start the research, again I will be out sourcing this.  At least at the beginning.  When I feel I have enough of the information I need I will write and format the course.  I will outsource the actual editing and final formatting.  I plan on having a book, presentation, a few tools and an exam to test the “students” knowledge.

I haven’t set a time line for this project yet, that I will do when I have the initial research data.  I will be sure to keep everyone up-to-date on this.

And that first picture? It is a Milk Shed, actually it is THE milk shed of my Grandmother in CB where I was on a weekend not too long ago.
