we all have good ideas. In fact, they are a dime a dozen, so how do you make them happen? In this webinar you will learn techniques for bringing your idea off the drawing board or bar stool and actually making them come alive, because only then do they really have value.
Mention the new toy, inspired by a talk I saw at SxSW. Those of you who know my work, now I like to take risks, this is one…

Tracking what has been done helps you to stay motivated and to learn. Tracking what remains to be done let’s you focus your efforts.
Just some ideas to get you started…
