Hello Business Website Customers, Associates and Friends,
A customer of mine runs an educational workshop over a number of days. This year he offered the workshop via a webcast in addition to live attendance. See the article.
Sometimes other people know best, even we you think you know best. See the article on trust.
Facebook is big. If you are on Facebook, you know. If you are not on Facebook, get on.
On Facebook, you can create a page for your business. This is a good idea. See the article.
If you find a video on Facebook that you like, you can embed that video on your website, but Facebook does not provide the embed code. See the article for how to get the embed code.
Interested in publishing an eBook or being a guest on radio. See the article contributed by Francine Silverman.
Be Happy, Healthy and Prosperous,
Andrew

Quotes:
- An association of men who will not quarrel with one another is a thing which has never yet existed, from the greatest confederacy of nations down to a town meeting or a vestry. ~ Thomas Jefferson
- An enemy generally says and believes what he wishes. ~ Thomas Jefferson
- An injured friend is the bitterest of foes. ~ Thomas Jefferson
- But friendship is precious, not only in the shade, but in the sunshine of life, and thanks to a benevolent arrangement the greater part of life is sunshine. ~ Thomas Jefferson

Article: Live Webcast Using Ustream
A customer of mine runs an educational workshop over a number of days. This year he offered the workshop via a webcast in addition to live attendance.
One website you can use to broadcast video for free is www.Ustream.tv.
The instructions are simple and you can have your own TV channel on the web in no time.
Ustream automatically archives your broadcasts, so people can watch them later.
You will probably want to embed your live show and archived videos on your website. Embedding your live show is easy. Ustream provides an embed link which you can copy and paste into your webpage.
You can do the same for the archived video, but you have code each one by hand. If you are programmer, you can automatically extract your archived videos and display then on your website.
See this article for an example of the code.
www.programmer.bz/Home/tabid/115/asp_net_sql/225/UstreamTv-Get-Archived-Videos-for-a-User.aspx
If you are charging for your videos, you need to protect them.
Ustream lets you make your videos private, but then you need to specify which Ustream users have access to your video.
Another choice is to pay the $50 a month and customize your own Ustream channel via your website. That way you can place the security on your website and only your website visitors can get to your channel.

Article: Trust Other People
Sometimes my dad would tell me to do things. There might be some family related event or some other thing and he might say, "You don't have to go to this," or he might say, "You should do this."
Whatever it was, if he said I should do it, I would do it. I fought with my dad a lot, but never over things like this.
You cannot trust your own decision making. We are all biased and influenced by our emotions that are often not in our best interest. We tend to make decisions based on laziness, fear and avoiding uncomfortableness.
That is one of the reasons we need trainers and teachers, to challenge us and force us to do things we would not do otherwise. Get us out of our comfort zone.
A friend of mine, Rick called me up late one night to go on a sailboat from Miami to the Bahamas. They needed a fourth guy to share the expenses. I agreed, but as soon as Rick hung up the phone, I changed my mind.
I called Rick back and told him, "I'm not going. I will be throwing up for four days." Rick talked me back into going, but again, as soon as he hung up, I changed my mind again.
I am embarrassed to say, this happened at least five more times that same night and has to be the most absurd phone calls I have ever made. I did go on that trip. I did not throw up and it was one of the most memorable four days I have spent.
A couple years later, when Rick told me I should go on a camping canoe trip down the Colorado river, I went, even though I was sure I was not going to sleep for a week.
This Labor Day weekend I was responsible for the evenings' main entertainment at Mosaic Outdoor Club's International Event.
We were at a kids camp in the mountains north of Montreal. The first night I led a folk dance program for a couple of hours.
The camp fire and night hike got rained out, so I had to improvise some other dancing to keep people entertained. Most people participated, but a few sat and watched.
The last night, I was leading another dance program. Again there were some people sitting out, so I said, "I know some of you are uncomfortable about getting up and dancing."
"You have to trust me. I have done this hundreds and hundreds of times. I picked these dances for you, for people who do not dance regularly. I promise, you are going to like it."
That got them up dancing, at least a little anyway.
Sometimes you have to trust other people. You have to figure, when you have a difference of opinion, at least half the time you are wrong, and probably a lot more than that if the other person knows something you do not know.
