Conceptual Design Shouldn't Be Complicated

June 25, 2016/ Dr. Liz Musil

Before you can physically design a composition, you first have to come up with a creative idea. We are all capable of envisioning what we want in our minds; however, it can be quite difficult to rely solely on our minds when we start the design. Our minds are full of great ideas, but also full of other things that can interfere with our great ideas.

Trying to rely on our envisioned design in our minds can be very distracting and will slow down the creative process. This is why a very important part of the design process is to first create a concept of how you envision your final design. Think of a concept design as a sort of prototype of your final design.

This is like having bad press, and no leader or company can afford bad press in a world driven by consumer perception and opinion.

June 23, 2016/ Dr. Liz Musil

Online workshops have several advantages over traditional workshops. Creating and launching an online workshop is a highly effective way to spread your message across to people without any limitations of geographical or cultural boundaries. You can run your course from the convenience of your home or office without having to travel physically anywhere. You can exponentially increase your earnings without increasing the effort that you would expend. Whether the course is for one person or 100 people, once the course is created and launched, it can be replicated any number of times. It is easy to follow up on your clients too, all within the privacy and convenience of your home.

When you have a blog or website, conducting courses or workshops can significantly increase the traffic to your blog as well as your income from it. The best part is that there are no brokers who can take a fat percentage of your profits! You get to keep whatever you make! Also, you have full creative freedom and license on your content.

What is a Virtual Worker? How to Gain Your Freedom.

June 21, 2016/ Dr. Liz Musil

Virtual work arises in the application of the principle of least action to the study of forces and movement of a mechanical system. The work of a force acting on a particle as it moves along a displacement will be different for different displacements. Among all of the possible displacements that a particle may follow, called virtual displacements, one will minimize the action, and, therefore, is the one followed by the particle by the principle of least action. The work of a force on a particle along a virtual displacement is known as the virtual work.

Building an online business is an exercise in personal development. Running online business tests you in many ways — your self-discipline, your intelligence, your communication skills, your focus, etc. If you’re lacking in any of these areas, your business results will reflect it.
